He is widely known for his inspirational journey from poverty and child labour to becoming a national award-winning educator. Dr. Azam Ali has trained thousands of students in communication skills, personality development, and career guidance.
He received the '''President of India NSS National Award''' and the '''National Youth Award''' from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports for his contribution to social service and youth development. He is also the Founder President of the educational NGO '''Chamak Foundation''', which works to empower underprivileged children through education and mentorship.
==Early life and background==
Dr. Mohammad Azam Ali was born on 5 August 1991 in Chirlavancha village of Siricilla Mandal in the erstwhile Karimnagar district of Telangana, India. He was the fifth child of Ahmed Hussain, a lorry driver, and Khalida Begum, a daily wage labourer. His family belonged to a poor working-class background and struggled to meet daily needs.
Due to lack of employment opportunities in the village, the family later migrated to Karimnagar town in search of livelihood. Azam studied in government schools because his family could not afford private education. Financial hardship meant that books, uniforms, and school supplies were often difficult to obtain.
During his school years, his father left the family, leaving his mother to raise the children alone. Khalida Begum worked under difficult conditions as a labourer but remained determined to educate her children.
When Azam reached the eighth class, financial problems forced him to discontinue school for a year. During this period he worked as a wall poster boy, pasting posters and banners on streets to support his family. While working, he noticed a slogan of the '''Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan''' programme that encouraged education for all children. Inspired by the message, he approached his teachers and explained his situation. With their support he rejoined school, marking a turning point in his life.
