to a family of Qazis of Jodhpur. His cousins still hold
this position in India. As a young boy, he started his
primary education in Jodhpur. After the creation of
Pakistan, his family moved to Hyderabad, Sindh in 1949
where they settled down. He joined Govt High School
Hyderabad from where he completed his Matric in 1955. He

Soon after getting his
Intermediate certificate, he got his first employment as a

With his interest in

Mr. Warsi joined Cadet
College Petaro as lecturer in English in 1976. After working
there for 2 years, he moved on to Habib Public School Karachi
in 1978. However, he returned to Petaro in early 1982. During
his Petaro years, he was given charge for examinations, new
entry tests, and was also a member of the purchasing

This was the time when the

teachers at the end of 1982.
Being one of the pioneer
teachers at Pakistan Steel Cadet College, he held several key

establish the college. He also held the position of House

institutions) as its Principal. Returning to Pakistan Steel
Cadet College that year, he held the position of Principal of
