Education
Middle School for boys later upgraded to
Centennial Model High School completing hundred years, played a vital role in the
progress of Marghuz. There was a primary school for girls in a mohalla house.
Now a girls Degree college has been established in Marghuz.
A
primary school teacher named Ahmed Din (he came from some outside place) is
remembered who thought students in 1920-30. A devoted person, he took immense interest
to teach his students. Some of the old people might know more about him.
A few names who studied in Government
School Marghuz:
- Abdul Waris Khan got his early education from this school. He is the first Electrical Engineer of Marghuz Village from Engineering College Peshawar University.
- Dr Abdul Samad from Bam Khel now a Cardiologist was a student of this school.
- Dr Kamal Khan ex-President Jameeat-ut-Tulaba now in active politics and a prominent leader of Jamaat-e-Islami.
- Dr Faham Dil Khan an educationist was a student of this school.
- Brigadier Dr Habib-ur-Reman got his early education from this school
- Dr Mohammad Rauf a Professor in Peshawar University had studied in this school.
There are a number of other luminaries
and exalted personalities who distinguished themselves and belong to Marghuz but
because of my scant contacts and secluded life I find myself handicapped to recall
and mention their names.
Some more prominent people worth
mentioning though not studied in Marghuz High School but never the less have
links with Marghuz are - Lady Dr Nusrat first qualified MCPS, FCPS Gynecologist from Marghuz,
- Dr Abdul Khaliq a gold medalist from Engineering College Peshawar University and a PhD from Georgia Tech USA now President of a University are proud to be resident of Marghuz.
Welfare Works
It was in 1955-56 when (Rtd) Major Mohammad Akbar Khan donated land and constructed a Hospital near the villages ‘Dhok’ and ‘Eusephe’ on the southern side of Marghuz Village. I think the hospital is still functional and provides medical services to the needy people of the surrounding areas.
Later the Taj brothers heading the Khan
family of Marghuz (Grand Sons of Khan Bahadur Taj Mohammad Khan) constructed a
Children and Maternity Hospital in the memory of Late Dr Sohrab Khan son of one
of the Taj Brothers. The hospital is equipped with stat of the art appliances
and rendering valuable services to the people. The illustrious brothers made
the hospital functional and handed it over to Government to be run in Public
Sector. The brothers are a beacon light and role models for all. They keep
themselves attached with the affairs of Marghuz and take keen interest in the
welfare of the people. They are the torch bearers of their elders and always
ready to help the poor people. Other philanthropist must come forward to
emulate their example.
