Aitchison College has announced that it will name a classroom in honor of its distinguished alumnus and former Chief Minister of Punjab (India), Harcharan Singh Brar, recognizing his academic legacy and lifelong association with the institution.

The decision forms part of the centenary celebrations of renowned Pakistani industrialist and philanthropist Syed Babar Ali, who proposed the tribute in recognition of his close friendship with Brar, dating back to their student days at Aitchison College.

Harcharan Singh Brar, who studied at the prestigious institution before the Partition of the subcontinent, later went on to serve as Chief Minister of Punjab, India, from 1995 to 1996. His public service career and early educational ties to Aitchison have been highlighted as key reasons for the honor.

According to details, the initiative reflects both personal and historical dimensions, acknowledging not only Brar’s political career but also the enduring bond between two classmates whose friendship survived the division of 1947.

The college administration stated that the classroom dedication symbolizes Aitchison’s long-standing tradition of celebrating alumni who have made significant contributions in public life across borders and generations.

The upcoming ceremony is expected to bring together prominent figures from academic, business, and social circles, underscoring the institution’s role as a historic educational link between Pakistan and India.
