The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) Old Boys’ Association, Bihar, will commemorate the birth anniversary of Sir Syed Ahmad Khan on Friday, October 17, with a cultural and literary gathering in Patna.

Muzaffar Abdaali, Chief Postmaster General of Bihar Circle, will grace the event as the chief guest.

Professor Muhammad Sajjad from the History Department of Aligarh Muslim University and SM Parvez Alam, Director of the Urdu Directorate under the Bihar government, will attend as special guests.

Former IAS officer and first Vice-Chancellor of Bihar Sports University, Shishir Sinha, will also be present as the guest of honour.
