  Reunion - 2003

By:  Dr. Syed Farukh Hasanain

On the bright sunny day of October 5, 2003 the college was well decorated with the colorful banners and the cadets were as usual smartly dressed in their walking out uniforms. By 10.00 a.m. every one was seated in the assembly hall.

The proceedings were started with the recitation from the Holy Quran by a cadet, followed by the college anthem. The Principal in his address highlighted the achievements of the cadets both in curricular and extra curricular activities. Their achievements in all fields and degree of competitiveness not only in their own board but also at other reputed institutions  answered the doubts that their standard is not what it shows on paper due to the board from where they are competing. The address of the Principal was followed by the address of the Secretary General, in which he highlighted the events of the association of the last year, appreciated the achievements of the cadets, thank all the Kohatians and the President of the association to help and worked in many areas for the betterment of the association. He finished his speech with the announcement that the fresh elections for the central committee would be held after the speeches. Unfortunately, the President of the association could not make to the reunion and he was represented by Mr. Abdullah Shah of 1st entry. In his speech, Mr. Abdullah Shah showed his satisfaction on the degree of cordial and affectionate relations and the strong brotherly bondage amongst the Kohatians and reassured the Principal that the association will always work for the betterment of CCK.

The first session was ended with the National Anthem and a dua for those Kohatians who have passed away. Afterwards, Principal and cadets departed from the assembly hall.

After a break of 10 minutes, Kohatians gathered again to discuss the matter of importance in the association. As announced by the Secretary General, he started the proceedings by asking for fresh nominees for the posts of central committee. It was noticed that the constitution, which was given to get the association registered with the Provincial government, mentioned that the term of office bearers would be for three years. The present central committee is doing their term under two years duration. After a discussion, a resolution was offered to finalize the duration of the term. The three year duration was passed by an overwhelming majority and the elections were postponed till next year. Therefore, for the year 2003-2004, the present central committee wouldhold the office. After this issue was over, the meeting had usual exchange of ideas as how to increase the activities, the funds and the coordination amongst the chapters. Many Kohatians gave their views on different problems. About Rs. 18000/- were collected as donations by the Kohatians for the association and the General Secretary of Peshawarchapter collected the money, and the general body meeting ended.

Then the senior Kohatians gathered at conference hall in the office of the Principal. Principal informed that the Governor has not agreed directly to the increase of the seats of Board of Governors from 11 seats to 14 but suggested that the three Kohatians could be elected for the existing seats under the headings of Philanthropist, educationist, and a notable citizen. These seats would be only for Kohatians from N.W.F.P. The already present seat of Kohatian can be given to any Kohatian from any province. The Principal explained the serious situation caused by the complete cessation of funds by the provincial government of N.W.F.P and how other areas like federal government, army etc are turning down the request of providing funds to the college. As a result of which how imperative it has become to increase the fee structure. This in turn gradually making this prestigious institution of the province to be out of reach of a common man. A committee of nine Kohatians was formed to address this problem at all levels with the government and to explore new avenues to raise college funds. 

The committee comprises of
1. Mr. Sahibzada Saeed.
2. Mr. Khalid Gillani
3. Mr. Iqbal Yunas
4. Mr. Hameed Ullah Afridi
5. Mr. Arshad Javed
6. Mr. Ahmad Rasool Bangash
7. Mr. Tariq Mahmood
8. Mr. Ahsan Ghani
9. Mr. Abdullah Shah

It was also agreed that any one who can in some way help in this cause would be welcomed to join this committee.

A proposal was given that a desk for the association will also be formed in the college. It would be looked after by a person provided by the college where all the data will be collected. As every Kohatian can contact the college easily, it is much better to send their contact addresses, suggestions, inquires etc. to this desk from where all the chapters would be informed or can retrieve their desired information.
