Harvard University award for Mir Ibrahim Rahman of Jang/Geo Group
Mir Ibrahim is first Muslim and second South Asian to get this highest award; he
was conferred the Lucius N Littauer award earlier; also worked for the Harvard
Appointments Committee; honoured to deliver speech at the graduation ceremony
representing all students; teachers, students and their parents paid great
tributes to Mir Ibrahim Rahman WASHINGTON: Mir Ibrahim Rahman has joined
the distinguished ranks of alumni awarded the Robert F Kennedy Public Service
Award from Harvard University, one of the top centres of learning in the world.
Mir is the first Muslim and only the second individual from South Asia
to have received this Award. The Award is considered the most prestigious honour
for students of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and is presented to
those who have not only made a mark in the past for their distinguished public
service work but also excelled in this field during their educational career at
the university. The committee that selects individuals to be honoured comprises
senior professors of the institution. Mir Ibrahim Rahman had earlier
received the Lucius N Littauer award that is given to students who have made an
outstanding contribution to the Kennedy School Community. Mir Ibrahim Rahman had
represented his class at the Kennedy Student of Government, and during his
tenure had organized a number of important seminars. He was a member of the
Harvard South Asia Advisory Board Committee and was also one of the few students
to get the opportunity to work for the Harvard Appointments Committee, which
normally comprises only senior professors. Mir Ibrahim Rahman has done
his Master's in Public Administration from Harvard University's John F Kennedy
School of Government. Among those who had done the same programme from Kennedy
School of Government attained the status of head of states in eight countries.
The incumbent Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon, also got his
degree from Kennedy School of Government. Mir Ibrahim's classmates comprised
students from all over the world who had made a mark in different fields.
Twenty-nine-year old Mir Ibrahim Rahman is the grandson of the late Mir
Khalil-ur-Rahman, the founder of the Jang and Geo Groups, the nephew of Group
Chairman, Jang Group Mir Javed Rahman, and the son of Group Chief Executive and
Editor-in-Chief, Jang and Geo Group Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman. Mir Ibrahim
received his early education in Karachi and Lahore at the American School, where
he was a regular contributor to the school magazine. In the year 2000, he
graduated from the prestigious Babson College in Massachusetts where he received
the Summa cum Laude, which is given to students with highest performance. After
graduation, Mir Ibrahim worked for the well-known American investment banking
and securities firm, Goldman Sachs, and on his return to Pakistan in 2002 joined
Geo TV as its CEO. Last year, he joined the Harvard Kennedy School of
Government. Professor of Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School Asim
Ejaz Khawaja said on the occasion of Mir Ibrahim receiving his award that:
"Until recently, I used to believe that I was someone Pakistani parents could be
proud of. But just a few weeks after being admitted to the Kennedy School, Mir
Ibrahim Rahman went far ahead of me. The awards he has received are indeed
impressive especially at a time when Pakistanis are not viewed positively in the
eyes of the world." He added that he found Mir Ibrahim "a passionate, caring and
active human being who listens attentively to what others have to say."
Professor of Business Ethics at Babson College James Hoopes, who was Mir
Ibrahim's tutor, said that his former student's address at the Harvard
graduation ceremony was not only an honour but was also one of the best speeches
he had heard on the occasion. "He was able to capture the spirit of the current
global confusion in a manner that the world needs to hear. In my 40-year career,
Ibrahim is the student I feel the proudest about. I believe he possesses a
unique combination of practical leadership qualities, intellectual profundity
and ideological depth." He added that his relationship with Mir Ibrahim has now
reached a point where "not only do I teach him but I also learn from him. I
intend to write a book on leadership in the next few years and if Ibrahim
permits me, I would like to mention him in my book so that others too can learn
from him." The Academic Dean of Harvard Kennedy School, Mary Jo Bane,
while presenting the Robert F Kennedy Award to Mir Ibrahim Rahman said that this
is the highest honour of the school. "The committee that bestowed the award was
extraordinarily impressed by Mir Ibrahim's work, which also bodes well for his
bright future. Not only the committee but also his professors and classmates
nominated his work and brought it to our attention." In her
congratulatory message on Mir Ibrahim's award, the Director Programs at the
Kennedy School, Paulina Gonzales-Pose, said: "He was a key member of this
program and we all learnt a lot from his deep association with public service,
his nature, his hunger for learning. Because of his abilities, he was chosen by
his fellow students to address the graduation ceremony on their behalf. We are
all proud of him. Not only did he constantly achieve good grades but also
impressed with his insightful arguments." A fellow graduate Jennifer
Rubin said that before the award was announced she always believed that it
should go to Mir Ibrahim Rahman. "His award fulfils all the criteria for this
honour. What I learnt about Pakistan from him I could never possibly learn from
anyone else." Before receiving his award, Mir Ibrahim addressed the
professors of the Harvard Kennedy School, students and parents. At the end of
his speech at the ceremony, titled "Degree of Confusion," the audience gave him
a standing ovation and praised his speech. His address was a fine display of the
art of public speaking. When he opened his speech, he told the audience that
they must be fed up of sitting and listening to so many speeches, therefore,
they are requested to stand up and stretch their hands and bodies. All the
assembled professors, parents and students stood up and enjoyed the exercise and
burst into laughter. In this way, Mir Ibrahim Rahman managed to gain the full
attention of the audience. In his comments on the address, Timothy McCarthy, a
professor of Mir Ibrahim, said: "I was reminded again why I teach, also why I
still have hope for a better world. I am proud of him. The speech could not have
been better." Two graduates, Chris Pietroni from the UK and Carmen Burbano from
Ecuador, said that after listening to the speech they continued to discuss its
content for hours. "The speech gave us the complete essence of our education. It
was a brilliant speech for the occasion. You can't imagine the applause that
followed the address." Pakistanis too expressed pride in their country
after listening to the speech. The daughter of Mr Naviwala, who had also
graduated from Harvard, said: "Today, all the Pakistanis present are feeling
good." Mrs Chishti, another guest present at the occasion, said: "Ibrahim is
like a son to all Pakistani mothers." Her son Asif Chishti said: "Mir Ibrahim's
speech and his awards are the finest ambassadors for our country." A
Harvard graduate from Mexico, Andres Navarro, commented: "Mir Ibrahim has
continuously shown balance in the way he presents both point of views and
issues. He challenged the entire school to think different about questions and
answers, about Islam, the US, democracy, politics and how to be a smarter
troublemaker for peace and prosperity." Chief Executive Officer, Geo
Television Network, Mir Ibrahim Rahman had taken a year's sabbatical to do his
Master's in Public Administration, where he researched and written a thesis on
Pakistan's potential, titled: "Reason to believe: Finding a new public narrative
for Pakistan." The news
