Editing Abedi Agha Hasan (section)

==Philanthropy and Legacy in Pakistan==
Abedi’s contributions extended beyond banking into philanthropy, reflecting his commitment to Pakistan’s development. In 1980, he founded the Infaq Foundation, which supported medical and technological advancements, and donated Rs. 100 million to establish the Foundation for Advancement of Science and Technology (FAST), now the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, Pakistan’s first multi-campus university with locations in Islamabad, Peshawar, Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad. He also played a pivotal role in establishing the Aga Khan Hospital and Research Lab in Karachi in 1985, a state-of-the-art facility that advanced healthcare and medical research in the region. The Agha Hasan Abedi Auditorium at the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was named in his honor. In 2015, he was posthumously awarded the Hilal-i-Imtiaz, a prestigious Pakistani civilian award, for his services to the nation.
