The Al Jamil Foundation Chairman Hafeez Ahmad said that they have been hoisting the flag every Independence Day since the establishment of the Muktab. "The day is not celebrated only with students, but residents also joined us," added Ahmad.
He further said that the atmosphere of the AL Jamil Foundation and its branch Qadri Muktab is sociable and culture rich. “Gone are the days when students were confined to only Arabic studies or reciting religious scriptures. At present, in our institution, students are being taught History, English, Hindi and computer courses which itself generates patriotism among children," he added.
After the function guests were felicitated. The guests distributed the mementos among students and journalists present on the occasion were given letters of appreciation. The hour-long ceremony ended with congregational prayers that were held for the peace and prosperity of the nation.
