• ASIM SIDDIQUE MEMORIAL DEGREE COLLEGE

Our Pursuit Of this college is to bring hope and opportunity to the people of Uttar Pradesh and specifically Badaun, as a legacy to a great advocate for education: Asim Siddique.
Born & raised in the United States, Asim was able to benefit from the vast opportunities that were made available to him and was able to manage a well rounded lifestyle that encompassed educating others, volunteerism and building bonds within communities. Throughout his work in the U.S, Asim never lost sight of his heritage and his strong ties to badaun. Upon visiting his ancestral home in the late 1990’s, Badaun became especially precious for asim, as he felt a very strong direct connection with the town and its people.
As we close to making the Asim Siddique memorial degree a reality, we ask for your assistance in opening up a world of end- less opportunities for this local population.
