Inaugural holder

The Imam Hussain A.S. endowment chair is unique of its kind. Like a traditional chair, it is not chaired by a single individual on its inauguration, but it is jointly shared by all the researchers and administrators (past and present) supporting/supported by QSIS in their best possible way. This model of chair will continue till the institute reaches the minimum threshold.
