Late Makhdomzada Syed Hassan
Mahmood, the Chief Minister of the Princely
State of Bahawalpur,
conceived the idea of a premier “Public School” at Bahawalpur in 1950’s. His Highness, The
Amir of Bahawalpur, Nawab
Sir Sadiq Mohammad Khan Vth laid the foundation
stone of Sadiq Public School on 4th March 1953 and
the senior school building was completed within a short space of nine months.
Sadiq opened up its warm heart on the chilly morning of 18th January 1954
with only 37 students. In order to commemorate this occasion a grand darbar was organized in the same month by the school
administration. His Highness, the Amir of Bahawalpur, Nawab
Sir Sadiq Mohammad Khan Vth graced the occasion
along with Makhdoomzada Syed Hassan
Mahmood. Ms Salma Mahmood, the first girl student
of the school presented a bouquet to His Highness and welcoming address was
read by founding Principal, Khan Anwar Sikandar Khan.
Fifty years
later in 2004, we celebrated the Golden Jubilee of this leading Public School
in Pakistan.
The Organizing Committee for the Golden Jubilee ceremony was lead by Dr. Raheal Ahmad Siddiqui who
played an instrumental role in developing a Nationwide team of Old Sadiqians
to arrange a Memorable First Grand Annual Reunion we are in the world we
stand united under the glorious banner of Sadiq Public School and we are the
ones who promised to guard its name and honour with
our strength of unity. We are the ambassadors of the institution's glory. Our
each action as the member of society portraits the image of the school
itself.
Let us together make Old Sadiqians Association a role model for all Alumni
associations. Let us keep the promise we made to do the best, the best we can
to stand united under the banner of Sadiq. We made to do the best, the best
we can to stand united under the banner of Sadiq.
