Prof. Dr. Mansoor Akbar Kundi, the Vice Chancellor of Bahauddin Zakariya University, is facing an uncertain future as his retirement approaches this month. With no pension to rely on in the coming years, he has taken a bold step to ensure he can make ends meet – he has started driving a rickshaw.
From a Vice Chancellor to a rickshaw driver
Dr. Kundi’s actions speak volumes, demonstrating that there is no shame in any honest work. A video of him behind the wheel of a rickshaw has gone viral, drawing attention to the challenging financial circumstances faced by some retirees, even those who have made significant contributions to education and society.
It is indeed unfortunate that a professor who dedicated his life to educating others is now forced into such a situation. This situation highlights the need for the government to establish a robust pension plan for individuals like Dr. Kundi, who has made invaluable contributions to society.
