Prof. Syed Dilshad Hussain, or Dilshad Sahib, as he is more commonly called by his peers and thousands of students said goodbye to Cadet College Hasanabdal this week after a long and meritorious association with the College.
Prof. Dilshad Hussain was born in 1933 and after doing his masters in history from Govt. College Lahore, joined Cadet College Hasanabdal in 1954. Except for a period between 1982 and 2002 when he was heading the Fauji Foundation Colleges (both boys and girls), he literally has spent his life on the grounds of Cadet College Hasanabdal.
Due to his long and outstanding services to the cause of education in general and his contribution to Cadet College Hasanabdal in particular he was also conferred upon with the award of Sitara-e-Imtiaz by the government.
Now that he leaves CCH after 52 years, all Abdalians join in to wish him the best of everything for the future and say Thank You, Sir!
