My Lovely Home Town
My Roots: Life in My Village
I was born on 26th September 1981 in Padhrar, a serene and culturally rich village in District Khushab, Pakistan. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Salt Range and steeped in tradition, Padhrar provided the perfect environment for my early years.
Growing up in this close-knit community instilled in me the values of hard work, resilience, and the importance of staying connected to one’s roots. The simplicity of village life and the warmth of its people played a significant role in shaping my personality and perspective on life.
Padhrar isn’t just my birthplace; it’s a constant reminder of where I began and the journey that has led me to where I stand today.
Early Life and Education
From Village Roots to Urban Life
My early days began in Padhrar, but my life took a significant turn when my family moved to Chakwal City at the age of 5. This move was driven by my father, Malik Hakim Khan’s, posting as a police officer at the Chakwal Police Station. We settled in Mohallah Dhoke Feroze Chakwal, where I spent most of my formative years.
I began my educational journey at Kiyani Model School, an English medium school, where I studied from Grade 1 to Grade 5. Those early school days were filled with curiosity and excitement, as I discovered a love for learning. For my higher education, I attended Government High School Chakwal, completing Grades 6 to 10.
Childhood in Chakwal was a mix of joy and exploration. I fondly remember playing with friends in the streets of Dhoke Feroze, helping my father in small errands, and eagerly looking forward to school events. These moments laid the foundation for the values of hard work and discipline that guide me even today.

My journey continued in Sargodha, a city that became the backdrop for my academic achievements and professional growth. I completed my Bachelor of Science degree at Government Ambala Muslim College and later pursued a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Sargodha. These years not only honed my knowledge but also inspired a passion for innovation and leadership.
In Sargodha, I ventured into the education sector by founding Rashid Minhas Science Academy, a platform dedicated to academic excellence.
