"Mahbubul Hoque
committed to carry forward the mission of Dr APJ
Abdul Kalam"

“Dream is not what you see while sleeping,
it is something that do not let you sleep”
keeping these words of Dr APJ Abul Kalam in mind
& with a dream to build a world class university
in this remote part of the country, the
Chancellor of University of Science &
Technology, Meghalaya and Chairman of Education
Research and Development Foundation (ERDF) Shri
Mahbubul Hoque decided to take a few initiatives
dedicated as a tribute to Dr Kalam.
The prime initiatives would be offering
fellowship to do research work leading to PhD
from USTM on Dr Kalams Mission, Translation work
of his edited books in local languages to reach
out among masses to educate generations to come,
Establishing Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Centre for
Innovation and Rural Technology at USTM, to
offer 20 Scholarship in the name Dr APJ Abdul
Kalam in each ERDF Institutions for rural BPL
meritorious students. Dedicate one road as Dr
APJ Abdul Kalam road, and to Dedicate one
academic block as the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
Technology Block at USTM campus.
Mr. Hoque said during the "All Religion Prayer
Meeting" organized by the foundation on July 29,
for eternal peace of Dr Kalam that “Although the
great man had left this world, we have to create
followers of him from the coming generation by
encouraging young latent talents. We at ERDF
group of institutions had taken a pledge to
groom each and every student in the mould of Dr.
Kalam”. Last year on July 23, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam
has visited USTM on the occasion of North East
College Principals Conclave 2014. His visit
inspired the entire team ERDF to restore their
dedication to work with more enthusiasm and
vigor in their mission of building quality
education institutions in northeast region.
