New York/Hyderabad, Oct 23

It was a proud moment for India as Hyderabad-born student Alina Fatima Khan represented Switzerland’s prestigious Institut auf dem Rosenberg at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, standing among global youth delegates who symbolized the next generation of changemakers.

Describing her participation as “an awe-inspiring experience I’ll never forget,” Alina said the opportunity gave her a deeper understanding of how global collaboration and youth voices can influence the world’s future.

Her presence at the UN exemplifies the growing influence of young Indians who engage internationally and return home inspired to drive meaningful change.

Alina’s achievement was recently featured in Global Indian, a platform celebrating Indians making a mark across the world.

The feature highlighted how her education and upbringing reflect a balance of global exposure and deep-rooted Indian values.

Born in Hyderabad, Alina is the daughter of Dr. Nawab Mir Nasir Ali Khan, Promoter and Managing Director of MAK Projects and Honorary Consul of the Republic of Kazakhstan for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, and Begum Meher Fatima Khan, a noted philanthropist and fashion designer. Growing up in a family known for its commitment to education, culture, and community service, Alina imbibed a sense of purpose and responsibility from an early age.

At Institut auf dem Rosenberg — one of the world’s leading boarding schools known for fostering innovation and global leadership — Alina has been actively involved in projects focused on sustainability, technology, and intercultural understanding.

Her invitation to the United Nations was a recognition of her leadership and academic excellence.

As a young voice from India representing her school on an international platform, Alina Fatima Khan’s story is an inspiring reminder that the aspirations of Indian youth today extend far beyond borders — driven by a vision to contribute to a better, more connected world.
