Its how nations ensure their future, investing in the children by encouraging them at all levels. How he mentored these children would set an example for others. This is no personal marketing or politics. We were privileged to see and hear good advise from President Mamnoon Hussain at Hamdard University, from a distance. Hope the distance will change to personal 'Shabash' to young innovators / Educational achievers at 'Aiwan e Sadar', Soon.
