ROBOTRON'26

Dr Abdul Bari Khan

Cheif Executive Officer, Indus Hospital & Health Network

Assalam Alaykum. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate the organizers of ROBOTRON; your efforts deserve great appreciation. The role that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) plays in development is undeniable. If you look at Islamic history, the great mathematicians, scientists, and pioneers of technology were Muslims. Then came a time when we abandoned our legacy. We aim to revive our traditions by promoting activities like these, as true development will only be brought about through technology. The era of war has ended; the era of technology has begun. Technology will play the leading role in our economic development. We are constantly asked how sustainability is possible. The story of Indus Hospital is visible to all; a journey that, through faith in Allah, was built from the ground up. I urge you all to have complete faith and submission to Allah, and to strive to become inventors, as the coming era will be defined by various fields of technology. Our future is in your hands. How will Indus continue to run? The answer to that is: "You." In closing, I suggest you never take the easy path. Work hard, for Allah has made us His stewards on this earth, guided by the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasalam). We are the ones tasked to propagate his message. Many thanks to you all. Assalam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuh.”

“Right now, I am here at ROBOTRON, and Masha’Allah, we have over 100 teams from both universities and schools participating in the competitions. These robotics challenges were hosted to spark excitement, foster innovation, and provide a truly meaningful experience for students. As we know, the world is changing. In every field—from restaurants and production to heavy industry—we are seeing the rise of automation and robotics. That is why this should be a core part of school curriculums; it should not be treated as a mere extracurricular or a side activity of no importance. For any school, parent, or student who wishes to learn progressively, working with emerging technologies is now a necessity. I believe that, thanks to the innovation of these technologies, a 20-year-old today can be further ahead than a 30-year-old was in the past. This is a fantastic event, made possible by the determination of the ROBOTRON team, creating a vibrant environment for students to compete and showcase their capabilities. Our responsibility is to provide the environment and the platform that enables these students to display their magic and intelligence.”
