The 6th grade school of Badraq Molla village was opened by Pasargad Bank

According to the financial news report, citing the public relations of Pasargad Bank, the opening ceremony of Pasargad School coincided with the first day of the new academic year, on Saturday 1 October 1402, with the presence of Majid Ghasemi, CEO of Pasargad Bank, Ali Mohammad Zanganeh, Governor of Golestan Province, Advisor and Deputy Minister of Education. Engineer Farahi, the general manager of Golestan province’s school renovation, development and equipping, and some top managers of this bank, local officials and a group of residents of this city.

In this ceremony, the CEO of Pasargad Bank, while offering his condolences on the occasion of the martyrdom of Imam Hassan Asgari (AS), started his speech by thanking the respected officials and dear people of the region.

He further referred to the noble verse “above all knowledge” (Surah Yusuf, verse 76) and said: This verse means that knowledge has no limits and as long as there is ignorance, knowledge must also grow and confront it to dominate it and science has this power. The talent of our children is rare throughout the country and Iranians have always been the best students in universities around the world. Iran’s children deserve growth and maturity and zeal and effort to build this country.

He added: Iran is a cultural country. Iran is the bed and the wavy sea of ​​culture. Iran is an ocean of culture, wisdom and love. Theoretical wisdom is in the hands of God, but practical wisdom is in the hands of the children of this land and water, and if we are careful, we can place this country at the peak of superiority and domination over the culture of the world.

Ghasemi further said: “At Pasargad Bank, we have a very serious focus on the issue of social responsibilities, especially in the field of culture.” As an example, we were able to print and reproduce the magnificent Quran Mushaf Sharif Tabakh, which is kept in Astan Quds, in significant volumes, which is an exquisite book in terms of printing. When I was young, I dreamed of being able to print a Quran that would be unique in the world, and this has been achieved. Another case is the Shahnameh of Shah Tahmasabi, which the late Habibi was very persistent in collecting a number of its pages from other countries. He returned this work, which is the history of the warriors of this nation, and we were able to publish it in the art academy.

We have built about 20 libraries in the country since 1396-1397, which was declared the cultural year by the Supreme Leader. In 2018, about 150 schools were damaged due to the flood, of which 90 schools were completely destroyed. We accepted the responsibility of 30 schools, which we built and delivered, Alhamdulillah. To date, we have built and activated a total of 43 schools, and another 4 schools will soon be presented to the dear people of our country within the next 2-3 months.

Referring to the high scientific potential of our country’s students, the CEO of Pasargad Bank expressed the lack of facilities, especially in laboratory departments, as one of the factors affecting the country’s scientific position in the international arena, and emphasized the need for students to benefit from these facilities.

Regarding the need to pay attention to trust and effort, the president of Khatam University said: Trusting in God means trusting in God and being satisfied with His pleasure and surrendering to God’s will. That is, if you try, trust will work. Our country is a completely cultural, Islamic country, deeply rooted in the religion of Islam, and one of our prides is the religion that has adorned us with all the excellences and divine knowledge.

Ghasemi further referred to the economic issues and said in this regard: Pasargad Bank has been able to create a structure in various fields, including the issue of financing, to be effective in the sensitive economic centers of the country such as the stock market, banks and production units.

Regarding the education issue, he added: In the Dar al-Fanuni schools that we establish in the centers of the provinces, our young people must always win the first place in all scientific and sports competitions. In my opinion, the way of looking at education in the country and the way of investment need a new way of thinking. When we name a school non-governmental, it means that we want to say that it is non-governmental and be careful. Nowhere in the world do they call such a school non-governmental. In America, they don’t name a university like Harvard non-governmental, but in our country, they use the name non-profit or non-governmental, which actually makes us convey a negative message.

He went on to say: We have set up postgraduate education at Khatam University. The first to 30th students in the field of theoretical economics from the prestigious universities of the country apply for further education in this university, they register there, and Khatam University is their first choice. In most fields, the rank of our accepted people is below 200. Currently, we have about 1,700 students and about 2,800 graduates in Khatam University, and the employment rate of these dear ones in the society is close to 100%. That is, if our students say in their job interview that they graduated from Khatam University, they will not be asked the next question; Because the interviewers know that person entered Khatam University according to a special system. We still haven’t been able to launch some courses at Khatam University at the doctoral level. For this reason, we provide scholarships to our best students to continue their education abroad.

We are currently working with a European university and have students in common. I think that with the construction of Dar al-Funun school, we can identify and secure all the scientific, academic and sports talents in the country.

Ghasemi stated: “One of my honors is to serve the people. When recruiting Pasargad bank employees, after examining the applicant’s conditions and inviting them to the interview, we ask as the last question, “The CEO of the bank announced that I am a servant of the people, you accept the service of the people. Do you have?”, a young man who does not have a good livelihood and is newly married and has a difficult economic situation hardly accepts this matter, but eventually a percentage of these loved ones accept this issue and are accepted in the bank and this is an institutionalized culture in Pasargad Bank.

He further added: Pasargad Bank is a Razavi cultural bank. At the beginning of the journey and at the time of establishing the bank, I came to the service of Imam Reza (a.s.) and asked him for help. With this support, Pasargad Group’s investments in the national field are truly unique. We are currently the strongest bank in terms of capital infrastructure and productivity, and we have created about 40 projects from mining to final product, which has stopped the export of raw materials. In the field of energy, the projects that were delayed for years have been completed by the talented young people of this region. At the end, Ghasemi expressed his hope that more valuable measures will be taken in Golestan province.

It should be mentioned that this bank, in continuation of its philanthropic actions in the field of development of educational spaces in the country, has built a 6-class school in Pasargad with an educational space of 745 square meters, including 6 classrooms, a laboratory, a computer workshop, etc. 2 other schools were opened on the same day in the villages of Islamabad and Baghokanare of Golestan province. Earlier, Pasargad Bank had also donated three schools to the flooded areas of Golestan province in the villages of PirAghach, Sahne and Koranjik of Aqqola city.
