Our Heritage
HISTORY OF SUDHAN TRIBE
No doubt we as a martial tribe have rich history full of feat and laurels with formidable sacrifices for the liberation of this part of the State of Jammu and Kashmir yet it was considered essential to have a reliable account of these contributions through some impartial author. Therefore, the SEC engaged the services of famous historian/author and writer Syed Bashir Hussain Jafri to write history of Sudhan tribe vehemently and impartially. Incidentally, the mother of Mr.Jafri late happened to be from Tain (Rawalakot) that is why he had the first hand knowledge of many historic events which he had heard from his mother. Some material collected by Lt Col Retd Sardar Muhammad Sarwar Khan of Mong was handed over to the author alongwith other available material. The first draft was handed over to the SEC in 2004. Initially there were some serious concerns raised about certain narratives. To dispel those anomalies a Committee was constituted, in consultation with the author. The needful was done amicably after threadbare discussions.
The Book was ready for publication in 2010 but the issue of financial constraints was resolved by Maj Retd Sardar Mushtaq Ahmed Khan from Baloch Sudhnoti who voluntarily took responsibility hence it was published in Mar 2020 and available with SEC.
May Allah grant us strength and wisdom in taking forward this organization in pursuit of the vision of Khan Sahib
There are numerous NGOs established in the names of other clans or tribes but there is a marked difference between the SEC and its contemporaries. The SEC is financed by the subscribers and donors from within the Sudhan tribe (as every Sudhan is supposed to contribute) but beneficiaries are spread across all the tribes without having any discrimination.
Secondly, SEC has also contributed in establishing new institutions like Polytechnic College Rawalakot, Poonch Medical College Rawalakot and University Campus at Mong from where everyone is taking benefit.
There is a need to engage Government functionaries as well as the well-off people from other tribes to take part in financing such as institutions of common interest.
SEC has recently been registered as a Charity organization in the UK with kind courtesy of Dr. Shoukat Ali Khan, President SEC UK Zone and Sardar Jahanzeb Khan grandson of Khan Sahib in 2022.

Khan Sahib Educational Complex at Rawalakot
Sardar Zubair Ayub Xen, with a team of engineers has been appointed as Chairman Construction Committee SEC for construction of Khan Sahib Educational Complex which include SEC Central Office at Rawalakot with effect from 7 November 2021. They are doing a wonderful job selflessly. In the proposed five stories Complex, the building structure of the 5th floor of the SEC has been completed and work is continuing in the fourth floor. It will be the major landmark achievement of the SEC which has no office of its own so far.
Present Complex is situated in the prime location adjacent to the opposite Trar campus University of Poonch.
Initially SEC has only 1 kanal land here but with kind help of Sardar Najib Naqi Sb as Finance Minister and Sardar Abdul Khaliq Wasi Sb as Member Kashmir Council, Former Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider Khan has allotted 1 more kanal land in 2021 which resulted in increasing the space of Khan Sahib Educational Complex at Rawalakot where ultimately an educational institution will also be established.
Noble members and generous donors from the community will come forward as usual and extend their financial support.
