Jamia Millia Islamia Old Boys Association-UAE

Jamiaets in UAE revive, revisited & finally announced the name of working committee to run association.
Apart from many the uniqueness of association & its functioning is based on democratic & transparent procedures.
Although a president & few vice presidents has been included but it has been done to maintain hierarchy & tradition otherwise all members are same & equally important.
Another new addition was to have president on 06 month rotation, it means present president & 03 vice president will have equal chance to head the association & bring the maximum results for the betterment of jamaiets in UAE & India.
The association will carry forward traditions of JMI & work on democratic norms, its basic principle is to practice discipline within the committee & adhere to it elsewhere.
It was also agreed to respect elders & love younger.
The Jamiaets elected Abdullah Hasan (2003 pass out engineer) as first president for next six months with a sign to follow young blood & give more chances to inject fresh ideas.
Three Vice presidents elected were Haroon siddiqui, nadeem zaidi & Intekhab Alam...these three were made responsible to run three committees as resource, networking & directory/logistic.
There were many new, young & energetic members inducted to new association with a hope to achieve better results & NO to Politics.
I hope this committee will work positively for the cause & flourish for a longer period.

Jamia Millia Islamia-UAE

Announcement/propaganda of doing social work, welfare of needy without self commitment is some thing very common these days.


By focusing only on jamiaets in this region, it doesn't mean that one need to leave every thing & rush for welfare!


It is not possible here & impractical in both sense.


One needs to understand the possible need a jamiaet would require!

An individual can do many things that comes under welfare category, however collective efforts to form a guidelines can serve many in more effective ways for a longer portion of time.

It is true that a thought built on strong principles always remains however individuals may change or extinct!

Many years in UAE & away from Jamia Millia Islamia has strengthen my ideas to commit myself & march forward for all possible guidance to the needy.

Most of times it was on collective basis but last few years individually after deserting a platform infested by a different kind of lobby firmly believed in the type mentioned in the beginning of his post.

It was a process when infection started, it creeps, grown & soon became majority, but, with time passed it went to self decay.

Infact, self destruction.

Many people asked me a question during those days about my isolation.

I keep on telling every one in my contact to believe in ideology & principles. I also mention many times to remain truth full & committed to self for better times later.

It has been noticed that many jamiaets turned away without proper guidance which could have been provided.

Many jobs went unfulfilled that could have been filled with current & available seekers.

No body understand a simple point that extending the hand to help some one will fetch them respect & build confidence among jamiaets.

Sitting on the fence & commenting on the performance of those inside is the easiest thing a person can do, however, only performer knows the real challenge while attempting a task.

A step towards the cause may not bring the results but it gives courage to take another step.

It also motivate others to join.

The real pain can be felt by the one who experience it rather the one who explain of describe, that's why if one has built some thing from scratch by putting all his energy & emotions.....then it gives pain if some one demolish & scrape his efforts.

Jamiaets are in significant number in UAE & it is very difficult to bring all of them together under one roof due to difference of opinion,affection, interests, their schedules etc but this doesn't mean to overlook those who are in need!

Many jamiaets come forward to launch similar platform in UAE to do team work and to establish successful network among themselves.

This was the first step taken towards a cause & i supported them to initiate & establish some thing meaningful.

Also Jamia millia islamia old boys association has granted permission to open an integral but independent chapter in UAE for the same cause, there fore a meeting held on 11.07.08 with interested jamiaets to discuss & outline forthcoming actions and it was agreed to begin with JMIOBA-UAE chapter.

I hope these young Jamiaets will put their sincere efforts together to carry forward true values of Jamia Millia Islamia & to work for the welfare of jamiaets.
