The NJIT Alumni Achievement Award recognizes members of the NJIT community who have made exceptional contributions in the areas of Social, Educational and Technical projects.  Dr. Bayat, a proud alumnus of NJIT's Class of 1986, earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering Technology.

"I am honored to receive NJIT's 2016 Alumni Achievement Award," said Dr. Ehsanollah Bayat. "My studies at NJIT helped transform my curiosity about wireless communications and technology into an amazing and rewarding career through which I have been able to serve millions of people across Afghanistan. I truly have had the opportunity to apply technology to connect, benefit, and engage with a nation – and the world itself – and I will always be grateful for the opportunity that my degree from NJIT has given me to build a successful Company."

The Bayat Group of Companies, led by Dr. Bayat, has contributed powerful, positive and permanent progress to the economic and social development of all Afghans.  For example, Afghan Wireless (www.afghan-wireless.com), the nation's first wireless company, provides world-class communications services to more than 4,000,000 subscribers across all of Afghanistan's 34 provinces.  Broadcast programming from Ariana Television and Radio (www.arianatelevision.com), Afghanistan's largest private media group, reaches an audience of more than 20,000,000 Afghans.  Hospitals established by the Bayat Foundation (www.bayatfoundation.org) have provided life saving healthcare to 1,500,000 Afghan women and children, and brought the gift of hearing to more than 2,000 hearing impaired Afghan children through its annual hearing aid missions.
