Syed Ghulam Qadir Shah Jamote

By Kazi Zulkader Siddiqui, 671/Latif

Syed Ghulam Qadir Shah Jamote, kit no. 963/Iqbal House joined Cadet College Petaro in 1967 in 11th Class and left the college in 1969 after completing his Intermediate.

He was born on 20 February 1951 and got married to Mrs. Zahida on 24 December 1975. They have 2 children - Zaheen and Zainab.

Ghulam Qadir is my batch mate (1964-1969), and he was one of the large contingent of boys who were taken into the college in 1967 due to the expansion caused by construction of Iqbal and Qasim Houses.

Soon after his graduation, he joined PIA in 1974 as a Flight Engineer in the Special Group. Over the years, he became an Instructor and Inspector on Boeing 707, Boeing 720-B, Airbus A-300, and Boeing 747 aircraft. He was given several management portfolios, and was eventually appointed as Director for Human Resources and Services in PIA.

After the election of the new government in 2008, Ghulam Qadir was given the assignment of Director General of National Commission for Employment and HR Development.

It is an honour for me to be the batch mate of Syed Ghulam Qadir Shah Jamote.
