Professor Rana Asghar Ali Khan hailed from the modest town of Burewala in Pakistan, where he embarked on his professional journey as a clerk at Govt. College, Burewala. Over the years, his unwavering commitment to education and his passion for serving the less fortunate led him to rise through the ranks, ultimately retiring as a professor at the very institution where his career began.

Driven by an immense desire to make a difference in the lives of those less privileged, Professor Khan tirelessly worked towards improving education and healthcare access for disadvantaged individuals, even during times when he faced hardships. He firmly believed that the willingness to help others was the most precious asset one could possess, transcending social and economic boundaries.

One poignant anecdote underscores his selflessness:

encountering a distraught sweeper unable to afford tea for guests at his daughter’s wedding, Professor Khan empathetically offered his prized possession, a bicycle, for sale to provide financial relief. During that period, he resided in a modest rented house, supporting his own family of five on a meager income.

Despite his own financial limitations, Professor Khan made a significant impact on the lives of others, notably by collecting used books for underprivileged college students. While he aspired to construct a state-of-the-art educational facility, life never granted him that opportunity.

He firmly believed that quality education was the key to breaking the cycle of poverty for the underprivileged in society. We pledge to honor his legacy and fulfill his dream by constructing ‘‘PROF. RANA ASGHAR ALI KHAN ACADEMIC BLOCK’’ in Govt. Graduate College, Burewala. 

Professor Khan, a remarkable human being, sadly passed away in 2005 at the age of 74 due to illness. Nevertheless, his mission to enhance the lives of Burewala’s residents through improved education, nourishment, and healthcare continues to thrive, serving as a testament to his enduring legacy.
