A formal meeting was organized at the office of the Dean, Students’ Welfare (DSW), where Dr. Khan was welcomed by Prof. Rafiuddin, Dean Students’ Welfare. The meeting provided an opportunity to discuss ways in which Dr. Khan could contribute to the university and its students. “AMU has given me so much; it’s time to give back to my alma mater,” he said, highlighting his commitment to supporting the institution.
