During my university student life, I dreamt of establishing a top class comprehensive school of mathematical sciences in Pakistan; I had been thinking and asking various effective professionals for the same. Fortunately, when I was Chairman of Mathematics Department at the GC University, Lahore, the Vice Chancellor’s Conference in its meeting, held on 11 August 2001, decided to establish a world class School of Mathematical Sciences at the GC. For this purpose, I consulted all the available top mathematicians of Pakistan by holding a workshop on establishment of the SMS and prepared a detailed proposal for the same. My dream of establishing the SMS was realized in 2003; the university also assigned me to work as its officiating Director General. By now, it has been well established, called Abdus Salam School of Mathematical Sciences (ASSMS). It is rapidly growing: already produced more than a century of PhDs and has got honoured in 2011 by being named as one of three emerging regional centres of excellence by the European Mathematical Society. I am thinking what the mathematical sciences in Pakistan should be like for its future economic & technological development, and in turn the peace & prosperity! • Member of the BOG, SMS (now ASSMS), GCUL; 2003-04.
