==Contribution in medical science==

* On the recommendation of [[Medical Council of India]] (MCI), and after getting survey related to the attitude of [[undergraduate]] [[medical]] students towards [[Alternatives to animal testing]] and [[Animal experiments]], he initiated a separate lab on “Alternatives to Animal Experimentation” in the Department of Pharmacology at [[Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College]], [[Aligarh Muslim University]], [[Aligarh]]. This is a first attempt in any medical college of India to have an exclusive lab where experimental work on animals is demonstrated by [[Computer aided education]]. In addition, he edited "A guide to alternatives to animal experiment in pharmacology", which is included in the curriculum of second professional MBBS course.<ref>A Guide to the Alternatives of Animal Experimentation (ISBN 978-81-906070-4-9). Eds. Syed Ziaur Rahman and Mohd Tariq Salman, [[Ibn Sina Academy of Medieval Medicine and Sciences]], [[Aligarh]], [[India]], 2009</ref>
