Dr. Ishrat
conferred Nishan-e-Imtiaz
Dear All
I am very glad to inform you that the President of
Pakistan has awarded the Nishan-e-Imtiaz to Dr. Ishrat
Husain, Dean & Director IBA, for his meritorious
services in the field of education.
Dr. Ishrat Husain, since taking his position as Dean and
Director, has transformed the IBA. It now has the
infrastructure of a world-class institute with
outstanding faculty. With this phenomenal expansion in
the face of tough competition from various institutes in
the country, and a determined focus on improving the
quality of education, the IBA has been judged the best
business school in Pakistan; and this has been made
possible only by the unrelenting efforts of Dr. Ishrat
Husain and his team.
Over the years, Dr. Ishrat has led the Institute through
milestones that were previously only dreamt. The IBA has
received accreditations from the South Asia Quality
Assurance Systems (SAQS) and National Business Education
Accreditation Council (NBEAC); not to mention the
international linkages it has developed with institutes
such as the USAID, NUS, CFA Institute, University of
Southampton, The Washington Center, etc. At the same
time, various new programs have been introduced,
spanning the fields of business, computer science,
mathematics and the social sciences where students are
outshining their contemporaries across the globe in
international competitions and the global market.
Although the IBA has a long way to go in realizing its
dream of becoming Top 100 business school in the world,
Dr. Ishrat has laid the foundation for his successors to
turn this into a reality.
Let us extend our felicitations to Dr. Ishrat Husain for
rendering invaluable services to Pakistan and the IBA.
Regards
Shahid Shafiq
