Dr. Maqsood Ahmed & Nizamia Education Group Promotes Inclusion in Higher Education

India cherishes its long-established tradition of charity and philanthropy. In fact, India is among those few countries where philanthropy has always played a crucial role in the construction of the modern Indian state.

Today, a number of philanthropic institutions and individuals are operating in the country in order to bring change into all sectors of our society. Dr. Maqsood Ahmed is an entrepreneur and young leader who is providing aid to Indian students in their higher education with his Nizamia Education Group and Nizamia Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

The foundation of Nizamia Education Group in 2012 owes to the growing need for proper counseling services to Indian students from underprivileged backgrounds. Since its independence, India has been careful in developing its higher education sector to promote the project of nation-building. There have been a number of universities, colleges, and other higher education institutions established to eliminate the higher education inequality in India. However, lack of access to quality higher education and livelihood is still a burning issue in India.

Out of this urgency, Dr. Maqsood laid the foundation of his unconditional consultancy services so that no student has to suffer from discrimination when it comes to higher education.

Higher education and skill development have always been considered to usher economic development in a developing country like India where poverty is a prevailing concern. Ironically, it is also the poverty and suboptimal financial background that bars Indian students from joining a prospective higher education or skill development institution to fulfill their career goals and uplift their living conditions. As the founder of Nizamia Education Group and the Managing Director of Nizamia Consultancy Pvt, Ltd. Dr. Maqsood is dedicated to breaking this vicious cycle of poverty, higher education inequality, and living quality.

Named after the tallest leader of Gujjar spiritual leader late Mian Nizam Din Laarvi, father of Mian Altaf, a former Minister and lawmaker in erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state, Nizamia Education Group’s guidance has pulled many students from the darkness of poverty and helped them to build a prospective career.

As a part of their student welfare activities, Nizamia Education Group organizes the Nizamia Scholarship Test every year so that every meritorious student gets the same chance of achieving a prosperous future without any discrimination. The group has already touched and shaped the lives of more than 10,000 students. After getting recognition in the state of J&K, Maqsood has expanded the radius of his philanthropic services to other states like North-Eastern states and Bihar. Nizamia Education Group’s aim is to touch the lives of 1,00,000 students and give them the best quality education by the year 2025. Besides, Dr. Maqsood has educated more than 1,000 International Students from Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Kenya, Bhutan, etc.

Dr. Maqsood Ahmed has been awarded “Youngest Edupreneur of India” by N.C.S at the Indian Ethnic Fashion Show and ICONIC ACHIEVER- YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR by Kotler at Marketing Summit 2.0. He has received the honor at “Super 30 College of Competitions” where his deeds and services for students have also been appreciated by Mr. Anand Kumar the Director of the “Super 30 Program”. With his vision of mitigating the lack of equal opportunities for students from poor families, Dr. Maqsood is striving to work even harder in the coming years.
