A.M.M.MUZAMMIL

COLOMBO:  The 102nd Annual General Meeting of Zahira College Colombo OBA – a milestone in itself to commemorate over 100 years in service excellence – was held on 19th March 2023, at the iconic Ghafoor Hall.

The AGM was presided over by Alavi Mukthar.

The outgoing President, Alavi Mukthat was appreciative and recognized the hard work and efforts of all executive members for their unwavering commitment and contribution made to the OBA to carry out the activities entrusted to them in order to achieve remarkable success.

The Presiding Officer, Malik Hannan, expertly conducted the proceedings. It is pertinent to mention that after many eons, this time, all the office bearers of the executive committee were elected unanimously without a contest. This clearly manifests how the general members have reposed their unwavering confidence to the new office bearers for the betterment of the Alma mater.

The newly appointed President N.M.Shiraz thereupon profusely thanked all the members for electing him as the President of the OBA. He thanked the outgoing President for having done an outstanding job and assured everyone that he would continue the good work in letter and spirit. He further underscored the importance of unity among fellow Zahirians and urged everyone to help fellow Zahirians and collectively work for the betterment of Mother Zahira.

Being the tech-savvy professional marketer that he is, Shiraz’s digital presentation titled: Success Plan – “Together we can win”, captured the audience’s attention with illustrations, slides, and snazzy visuals. The presentation consisted of an action plan, SWOT analysis, strategic moves, key challenges, and a proposed solution. He underlined the significance of identifying the right people and grooming them to become good leaders of the future.

All in all, AGM was successfully conducted at Zahira, one of the oldest schools in the country with a heritage of over 130 years.
