Prince Aga Khan, the spiritual leader of Shia Ismaili Muslims, and founder and chairman of Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), arrived in Ahmedabad on Thursday. This was the second stop of his 10-day visit to the country.
Meeting Chief Minister Vijay Rupani in Gandhinagar, he discussed ways to expand scope of health, education, and other developmental programmes run by the Aga Khan Trust in Gujarat. The CM apprised him about various initiatives taken by the government for inclusive development in the state.
The visit is a part of a series of events that mark the 60th anniversary of Prince Aga Khan's leadership of the Shia Ismaili Muslim community. Aga Khan's Jubilees have traditionally served as opportunities to launch or advance social, cultural and economic development projects such as hospitals, schools, universities, cultural and financial institutions that serve people.
The AKDN has a long history in Gujarat, where the first Aga Khan school was established in Mundra in 1905. The school was the precursor to the Aga Khan Education Services (AKES), which today manages close to 30 schools and early childhood development centres in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Telangana.
AKES, in partnership with Aga Khan Foundation and Aga Khan Rural Support Programme, has recently commenced an initiative to improve access to early learning opportunities, working with Anganwadi centres in Devbhumi Dwarka district.
Earlier, Prince Aga Khan also met Governor OP Kohli.
