History
The Khwarizmi Science Society was founded in 1997 by a group of students at the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, under the guidance of Prof. Saadat Anwar Siddiqi. Initially started as a university-wide science club, the KSS has gradually evolved into one of the most active science societies in Pakistan.[2] The KSS rose to prominence with its range of activities planned around and after International Year of Astronomy 2009 [3] and an international symposium on Science and the Muslim Civilisation in 2007 with Prof. George Saliba as the keynote speaker.[4]
