Manzoor Alam Quraishi (born on 27 July 1917) was a member of the Indian Civil Service (ICS) from the batch of 1941 and Uttar Pradesh Cadre. His long career in civil service is distinguishable because it was influenced by the Government of India Act 1935 and the Partition of India 1947, and subsequent division within ICS members.
Early Life
Manzoor Alam Quraishi was born on 24 July 1917 in Rasra Ballia Uttar Pradesh, India.[1] He was born to parents (Father Bashir Ahmad, Rasra Ballia district Uttar Pradesh) who belonged to the historic local Sunni Muslim community Iraqi Biradari. [2] He was educated at Aligarh Muslim University, receiving the degree, respectively, B.A. (Hon) 1936; M.A. 1938.[3]
Career
He passed the Indian civil service examination that took place in India in 1941. In the same year, he was appointed on probation serving the United Province government as assistant magistrate for a year (and not trained in (London) due to the enactment of Government of India Act 1935. [1]: 306 . After probation he was allowed more time for on-ground administrative experience by serving the United Province Government as Joint Magistrate from 1942-1947. From 1947-1950, he was District Magistrate in Pauri Garhwal. [4] By 1946/1947 the decision of the partition of India into two new countries by the British government based on the opinions of the political parties could not spare division within the prestigious ICS. The members of the ICS community were found to be biased toward the political parties. While most of the Muslim ICSs opted for the newly formed Pakistan, MA Quraishi showed courage and opted for India, governed by the Congress Party. [5] [6]
From 1953 to 1957 he worked with the U.P. Government for the betterment of municipalities by amending the existing ‘UTTAR PRADESH MUNICIPALITIES ACT, of 1916’. He was the commissioner of Meerut division, the biggest division in Uttar Pradesh responsible for administering law and order from 1957-1964. He was Chairman of Agro-Industrial Corporation, U.P.; and a member of the Board of Management, Agricultural University, Pantnagar, and the Committee of Panel of Experts on Agricultural Administration.[7] He was selected Indian ambassador to Saudi Arabia (1976-1979, Anexo: Embajadores de India en Arabia Saudita.
