Indian-American Entrepreneur Invests In The Future Of India
Islam said he was investing in education in India and the US because it's "the key to opportunity and the bridge to future success for those from all strata of society."
"The greatest gift all of us can give is the gift of education," he said explaining his support for numerous scholarships at higher education institutions in the US.
"While education is important in America, the needs are even greater in India and that is why I am supporting initiatives in my native land," Islam said.
As minorities, females and those in rural areas in India are socially, educationally and economically disadvantaged, he was targeting his philanthropic investments to reach those populations.
"My intent is to use education as a tool and force to improve the socio-economic status of the underprivileged in India," Islam said.
"My desire is that those who benefit will in turn contribute towards social, political and economic development throughout India."
An alumnus of AMU, Islam said: "AMU helped shape the lives of many generations. Its leaders have shaped India's history and its destiny."
