Ms. Salma Awan is a woman of multiple talents. In addition, to her being an educationist, she is a prolific writer. To her credit she has got seven novels, five short story books and eleven travelogues.

Ms. Awan completed her Masters from Dhakka University in Dhakka, Bangladesh (Formerly East Pakistan). On her return she joined the PAF School Lahore as Principal. She served the school for a couple of years. After her marriage she took an early retirement and devoted her time completely to her family, yet the desire to start an education institution of her own was always there. Finally, in 1990 she was able to translate her desire into reality when she started Lahore Garrison Grammar School (LGGS). She totally invested her mind and soul into this project. Since then,LGGS,by Almighty’s Grace has produced very outstanding students who went on to become Doctors, Engineers, Chartered Accountants etc etc. Her devotion to LGGS can be gauged from the fact that even at the ripe old age of 76 she still devotes at least five to six hours daily to the institute.

Regards her literary activities, these days Ms. Awan is working on two more projects; one is a travelogue about Syria (she was fortunate enough to visit the place before the outbreak of war), second is a short stories collection covering her stays around the world.
