DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

It is a great privilege to be an honorary director of Khawaja Farid Chair at IUB. The Khawaja Farid Chair is a great platform to promote and propagate the teachings of Khawaja Farid R.A and other Sufi-Mystics of our land. The Chair can play an effective role in countering the menace of extremism and radicalism in our society. It can also help in our social development by persuading people towards the great paths of mysticism.

We at Chair intend to adopt latest tools and modern work approaches in following our agenda. We also aim to focus on youth by interacting in their own nomenclature and ways. Thus our focus is to modernise the Chair while maintaining its core values and objectives.

I hope the Khawaja Farid Chair shall soon become an exemplary organisation that complements the vision of the University and contributes towards our society.
