He stated this while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the TDF MagnifiScience Centre (MSC) in Karachi. First Lady Samina Alvi was also present on the occasion.
In the heart of the city’s business hub, adjacent to the bustling II Chundrigar Road, on Railway Road, stands a rather peaceful yet interactive science centre of The Dawood Foundation (TDF), namely MagnifiScience Centre (MSC).
The foundation is the charitable arm of the Dawood Hercules Group. The MSC is the country’s first of-its-kind interactive science centre, which offers hands-on experience of complex scientific concepts that inculcates in one an urge to learn and understand those ideas rather than cram or memorise them.
The MagnifiScience Centre has been built along an abandoned intra-city railway line inside a colonial warehouse that has been restored and installed with eco-friendly elements, such as solar panels and rain and wastewater recycling systems. Given that the neighbourhood is usually heaving with traffic, valet parking has been made available for visitors.

کراچی کی اہم ترین شاہراہ آئی آئی چندریگر روڈ سے متصل ریلوے سٹیشن کے عقب میں متعدد گودام ہیں جہاں سارا دن مزدوروں اور مال بردار گاڑیوں کا رش رہتا ہے، گوداموں کے بوسیدہ دروازوں کے بیچ پرانے طرزِ تعمیر کا ایک منفرد اور نسبتاً نیا داخلی دروازہ ہر گزرنے والے کی توجہ اپنی مبذول کر لیتا ہے۔ عمارت میں داخل ہوں تو عقدہ کھلتا کہ تجسّس ختم نہیں ہوا، یہ تو محض شروعات ہیں۔
