The function began with the hoisting of the National Flag and singing of the National Anthem.After meeting and listening to the students, Mr. Jannat Hussain was surprised that there could be so many students from poorest of the poor background, who were State Toppers and admitted that he was not aware of such a wonderful thing that could be achieved by HZCT in locating the students from interior villages.



After seeing Vision 2015 documents prepared by HZCT, he advised Mr. Ghiasuddin Babu Khan and other Trustees to revise the same, as for such a wonderful programme, people would definitely come forward to help the poorest of the poor and brilliant students. He advised the Trustees to establish a Centre on par with Jawahar Knowledge Centre which could impart knowledge in Communication skills, Personality Development, Carrier Guidance, etc. and promised that he would give full cooperation in this regard.
