Chapter 1: The chapter

Sir Syed Ahmed Khan believed that nations which excel in the latest educational practices and technological development would become the leaders of the future. He made this observation in 1857, and it holds true today. I believe that in order for any infrastructure to succeed, it is vital that teams are unified, and it is our willingness to put aside our differences for the greater good of the community that makes our community unique and our brotherhood strong.
