Military College Jhelum

Military College Jhelum (MCJ) is the oldest military institution of its kind in Pakistan. Named as King George Royal Indian Military School, it was founded at Sarai Alamgir on the 3rd of March 1922, and started functioning three years later in 1925. It was organized as a residential school for the sons of Muslim soldiers with the object of producing educated rank and file for the British Indian Army units. In rare cases, some talented students could be endorsed for the grant of commission through Kitchner College Nowgong. During the World War II, the school underwent structural reforms. It was organized as a College for training potential officers for the army.
With the creation of Pakistan, this institution took further strides both in scope and service. It was restructured as a quality public school and the largest single feeder for the Pakistan Military Academy. Renamed as Military College Jhelum in 1956, it was commissioned to pursue the course of academic excellence and personality grooming. The College has served the Nation with spirit of commitment. Its alumni have contributed to the national cause with unwavering devotion. The College Roll of Honour radiates full with the names of martyrs, heroes and senior officers in all echelons of civilian and military establishments. Till 1st April 2013, the College has had, to its credit 1 Nishan-e-Haider, Major Mohammad Akram Shaheed, 48 Sitara-i-Jurrat, 3 Tamgha-i-Jurrat, 1 Tamgh-i-Shujaat, 4 Military Cross and 15 Imtiazi Asnad. 34 Alamgirians have embraced Shahadat. List of the distinguished Alamgirians includes The Ex-Chairman Joint Chief of Staff Committee General (R) Muhammad Iqbal Khan, Air Chief Marshal (R) Zulfiqar Ali Khan, Ex-Chief of Naval Staff Admiral (R) Abdul Aziz Mirza, NI(M), General (R) Muhammad Yusaf Khan, Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, HI, HI(M), 66 General Officers, over 100 Brigadiers, over 2000 Colonels / Lieutenant Colonels and large number of highly placed officers in the civil. The performance of the Alamgirians at Pakistan Military Academy is also laudable. In each course the Alamgirians performed exceedingly well. So far (Till 126 PMA Long Course) 35 Alamgirians have won the distinguished Sword of Honour. Military College Jhelum is an English medium institution, running classes from VIII to XII for 560 cadets. It is located on the Grand Trunk (GT) Road, beside the town of Sarai Alamgir. The campus is spread over about 170 acres of area and affords sufficient open space for lawns and play grounds, cadet houses and officers residences.

Cadet College Hassan Abdal

Foreword by the Principal

Cadet College Hasan Abdal, being the first institution of its kind in Pakistan, has been a trend-setter in the field of quality boarding schools meant for boys. In its history of over sixty years, its graduates have not only contributed tremendously in the national mainstream, many have moved across frontiers, and are now playing their roles at the global level. Above all, being a trailblazer, the institution has helped set the blueprints of milliard of institutions, which have followed in its wake.

A well-rounded personality, built around the core values of character, integrity, intellectual superiority and commitment have always been at the centre-stage of our grooming at Hasan Abdal. That’s why our graduates have always managed to survive in some of the most hostile conditions of fiercest competition and of formidable adversity. They have always managed to fight their way to the top and have led from the front, because that’s how they have been prepared and conditioned during their highly impressionable years of adolescent youth here. Their natural propensities for effective teamwork and strong communication skills actually draw from the years of intimate comradeship developed in the dorms of their Wings here, and from the moments of mind-blowing sporting glory experienced at the Winlaw’s sports ground. Their eloquence and intellectual robustness are nothing but the reflection of their insightful and heated discourses in the class theatres of Ayub block, or during the after-dinner strolls around the Scholar’s Walk.

The BOGs have recently christened The CCH roads/facilities, and the College sports grounds have been named after the Second British Principal, Mr A.W.E Winlaw.

The road around the Oval, has been named as The Scholar’s Walk.

Academic excellence has always been the central point of our priorities here, because we know that it plays a pivotal role in the proper placements of our graduates. Hassan Abdal has produced so many high-achievers in its academic history that CCH has become synonymous with Board toppers. Our programs have had the strength to have our students accepted not only in the very best of the national universities, but even in some of the Ivy League institutions.

CCH has come a long way from where it started its journey 61 years ago, and is ready to take-on new challenges. With Pakistan at the centre-stage of many controversies in the global perceptions, we need to equip our scholars with the skills to not only excel and distinguish in multi-cultural global settings, but to also prove effective ambassadors of a progressive Pakistan. It’s time for us to break out of our national shell now, and to prepare our graduates for the greater challenges of a cosmopolitan global village. Which institution in Pakistan can be better placed to embark upon this new challenge than CCH?!!

Principal’s Special Message to Abdalians

My dear Abdalians, Asslam o Alaikum

As the old students of this great institution which has played a significant role in grooming you to your successes in life, I have no doubt that the interest of your alma mater measures very high in your priorities. So, as the erstwhile custodian of CCH, responsible for its present-day well-being and maintenance, I feel that I have to see no further than the vast multitude of the sons of this College who would come scrambling to serve the interests of their mother institution when called upon.

The needs of the institution are fundamentally two-fold i.e material and intellectual, and I would like to briefly dwell on each. Firstly, the College infrastructure is sixty years old, and to be quite honest, everything is virtually bursting apart now. Being an institution serving the bright lads from mostly poor/middle class over the years (and shunning all temptations to make quick bucks by resorting to self-finance schemes like most other good institutions did in crunch times!), our limited budgets have never allowed us to move away from our most immediate needs. Years of neglect as well as financial constraint have led us to the current state of deplorable maintenance, which is not at all compatible with our great name and tradition. (I am sharing some pictures as attachment/in the enclosed CD, which are so deplorable that I can only share them with my Very Own only.). On the intellectual front too we have not fared very well. Although we have retained our edge in academics, the ideals of all-around personality grooming (once believed to be the principal hall-mark of our institution) has been somewhat diluted too over the years due to under-paid faculty and to our failure to keep up  our global linkages due to shrinking financial capacity. With scores of similar institutions which have mushroomed all over the country in the last decade, coupled with vacillating government priorities, the official budgetary support has actually eroded in the real terms, and still worse, it is not likely to improve in the coming years. So, we might have to be waking up to a very rude shock, but lo and behold beyond any doubt that the only guaranteed lifeline we can really bank upon is really ourselves.

I am very surprised that the realization of this collective responsibility (to look after our alma mater) took so long to dawn upon us, and even failed to prompt us to something as obvious as the establishment of an endowment fund. All great institutions have had hefty endowments all along, which are accumulated over the years, and for CCH this should been done long ago. However, this belated initiative has finally been taken now under the expert guidance of a financial-wizard son of the college, who has helped us device our endowment policies in line with the best practices of the field. These include, virtually ‘untouchable’ capital amounts, multi-signatory trustee account holders, third party audits by renowned chartered accounting firms, periodic updating of audited accounts sheets  on the website, and above all, sharing complete details of the expenditures out of donations made for specific purposes. So this should take care of some commonly-held perceptions about the funds being swindled away for unintended misuse.

You will be glad to know that besides Endowment, which is obviously an extremely sacred trust, we have incorporated a lot more transparency even in our normal day-to-day financial accounting. For instance, the Principal is no longer the sole signatory of the College accounts, there can be no cash transaction of more than Rs 20000 anymore, all significant payments have to be strictly through crossed cheque, and that we have to strictly follow the PPRA procurement rules in our purchases. Above all, unlike in the years gone-by, there are very frequent Board Meetings to ensure a very intrusive compliance to the rules ( i.e. during the last seven months, two meetings each of the BOGs and Executive Committee have taken place. This would contrast significantly with the BOGs meeting just preceding the last two, which had taken place four and a half years earlier).

So, gentlemen you can clearly see that we are doing everything in our power to regain your trust. Because I feel that from now on, your trust is actually the lifeline of this institution, and may I say it candidly (even at the cost of a bit of overstatement!), that without this trust our dear alma mater may ultimately be  dying a slow but sure death. So let us all donate generously to our endowment fund, and play our role in the rehabilitation of our alma mater.

Contributions can be made by:

Crossed checks/bank drafts/pay orders payable to CCH Endowment Fund

Mental Fitness

Our brain has done a pretty good job of protecting us, an example being our ancestors managing to avoid getting eaten by sabre-toothed tigers, but the human brain remains relatively easy to fool. Optical illusions, dreams, hallucinations, altered states of consciousness, and the placebo effect are just a handful of familiar cases where our brains perception of what is happening, doesn't correspond to whatever is actually occurring.

You can try and lesser these effects through mental exercises, for example video games can have a considerable effect on brain activity. Another example is a type of mental arithmetic practiced in Japan, counting devices relying on rows of beads are common in the country, but a valued skill is "anzan", which is very fast and accurate mental abacus in essence. Using these imagination-based calculating tools, the most skilled participants can sum fifteen three-digit decimals in less than two seconds. Contestants begin using the mental abacus so immediately that afterwards they cannot remember any of the individual three-digit numbers.

Skills that can rely on mental practice are also familiar to those who need to practice physical motions regularly, such as musicians and athletes. For instrumentalists, having an actual instrument to play is pretty handy, but it turns out that having a mental copy of one can be almost as good. The musical community in general has been aware of this for decades or more. These days, neuroscience is beginning to catch up to musicians who practice mentally. Although the details are still somewhat elusive, the key to the success of mental imagery as a rehearsal technique is that most of the same neurological regions are invoked by mental practice as by real practice.

As with rehearsing a piece on the piano, practicing a complex physical task in the mind alone is nearly as effective a learning strategy as actually physically doing it. But it doesn't stop there. In a 2004 study, a group of researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation decided to find out whether mental practice of a minor exercise routine could actually result in physical changes to the target areas of the body. One group of subjects performed a regular exercise involving moving a finger sideways; a second group regularly imagined doing the same exercise but did not go through the physical motions; and a third (control) group did nothing unusual with their fingers at all. After 12 weeks of training, the physical finger-workout group showed an increase of 53% in finger strength; the control group did not show any changes in finger strength; and the mental-finger-stretching group showed an increase of 35%. In other words, the mental-exercise group physically increased the strength of one of their fingers by imagining, repeatedly, over the course of about three months, that they were exercising it. They didn't have to lift a finger in order to convince their brains that they were, in fact, lifting a finger.

Neuroscientists are still working on the enigma of why this might be. Clearly the brain has been tricked. Nonetheless, it is clear that the human imagination alone is capable of doing things that are certainly more than imaginary in their results.

Want To win Lottery

 How to get into trouble. After a very public scuffle with a nobleman nearly ended in a duel, the young playwright was exiled from Paris, the city where his plays were only just coming into fashion. He lived in dreary England for two whole years before slinking back to France, where he lived in the house of a pharmacist.

Finally in 1729 the gates of Paris were opened to Arouet again, but he was still ill-at-ease. At a dinner party held by the chemist Charles du Fay, Arouet, better known by his pen-name Voltaire, found the cure he had been looking for. He met a brilliant mathematician called Charles Marie De La Condamine, who promised a panacea better than any Voltaire had found at his pharmacist.

Condamine had a plan that would make both him and Voltaire more money than he could ever scratch together by writing plays or poems. He would be free to live how he wanted and write what he wanted. The plan was simple. Condamine planned to outsmart luck herself. He was going to arrange to win the lottery.

A ticket for a 1,000 livre bond cost one livre, while a ticket for a 10,000 livre bond cost ten livres. But both tickets had equal chances of winning the 500,000 livre jackpot. Condamine realized that a group of people could buy up a lot of cut-price bonds, split them into tiny parcels of 1,000 livres, buy up cheap lottery tickets, and thus easily win the huge jackpot.

Voltaire and Condamine started a syndicate to do just that. But once they got the people, the money and the bonds together, they faced a final problem. Lottery tickets were issued only from a very small number of notaries, and the notary issuing stacks of lottery tickets to shifty young Voltaire would almost certainly guess what was going on, and give the syndicate away before any money could be won. Voltaire had to develop an ‘understanding’ with a notary before the plan could proceed. Once this was done, the young men were ready to get rich.

Every month Voltaire would go to the Châtelet to visit his notary, and walk away with reams of tickets. By tradition people inscribed the backs of their tickets with good-luck phrases. Voltaire’s were mocking. “Here’s to the good idea of M.L.C. [Marie De La Condamine]!” “Long live M. Pelletier-Desforts!” He signed them with a series of assumed names, getting increasingly more absurd as the scheme went on. Every month on the 8th when the tickets were drawn, the syndicate would be about a million livres richer, according to Voltaire’s later estimate.

The authorities noticed that the names on the backs of the winning tickets were suspiciously similar and this led Le Pelletier-Desforts to discover the syndicate. The Deputy Finance Minister brought the syndicate to court, but in the meantime every 8th of the month the lottery was drawn again, making the syndicate just a little bit richer. Eventually, the royal council ruled in the syndicate’s favor, letting them keep their absurd riches, though the lottery was shut down. France surrendered, and Le Pelletier-Desforts lost his job.

Voltaire himself probably won around half a million livres, a large fortune, which he then made even larger in a series of canny investments. Soon Voltaire was a very rich man, rich enough to become a moneylender to the powerful and famous, rich enough that he no longer had to stake his financial well-being on that most unreliable and detestable profession...writing.

Charles Marie De La Condamine used his winnings to good effect as well. Three years after the bonanza he traveled to Ecuador as part of an expedition to discover the true shape of the earth, proving that the earth is not a perfect sphere but is instead squished a little bit around the poles. He became the first scientist ever to travel down the Amazon river, advocated smallpox inoculation back in France, brought rubber to Europe, and helped define how long a meter is, as well as finding time to publish numerous popular books and to promote the use of quinine as a cure for malaria, thus easing the suffering of millions of malaria-infected people for hundreds of years and providing the tonic water for our gin and tonics.

Voltaire spent the rest of his life causing trouble. He befriended King Frederick the Great, wrote one of the first science-fiction story in history called Micromegas, had an argument with King Frederick the Great, was arrested, fled to Paris, was banned from Paris, and so settled in Geneva where he spent time entertaining the most interesting minds of the time, including Casanova, Adam Smith and Edward Gibbon. He wrote articles highly critical of Christian dogma when impiety could get a man killed, and championed human rights before there was even a word for human rights, and the whole time he did this he kept Europe entertained. On his deathbed, one story goes, a priest asked him if he would renounce Satan and all his works. “Now is not the time for making any new enemies,” Voltaire quipped.

Today Voltaire stands in the popular imagination as something like a one-man Enlightenment. His book Candide is one of the most-studied books in all French literature. But he only reached the heights of literature because he dared to challenge luck itself.

While you might not be able to win the lottery like this now, it show's that there is always a way and I found this to be quite an inspirational story that I hoped you enjoyed.
