P Mohamed Alithe leading Businessmen from Oman

Oman in early 60s

Oman, in 60s and 70s was mere a dessert ridden land with very
few roads, buildings etc., Education too was on backseat with
very few schools and colleges, and higher education was just
more than a dream for Omanis. Oman had a need to grow in all
sectors which is a basic necessity for any country, but it was task
in itself due to its hot and dry climate which hampered its
prospect. To make Oman an economically and infrastructural
strong with well-connected road and rail network, standardized
education system and proper health care facilities were the need
of the hour. This is a story of how a man brought about the most

talked about change in Oman through his various institutions

build over time without any expectations or favors in return.

Dr P Mohamed Ali a young and energetic person from India,

set his foot on Omans soil in the early 70s with his eyes full of
dreams for the people of Oman. Dr P Mohamed always wanted
to dedicate his life for the well-being and prosperity of the fellow
Omanis and even Indians. Dr P Mohamed Ali followed with his
clear goal and strong vision, he quit his well settles government
job in India went ahead and set his name high in the skies of
Oman by building Galfar Engineering and Construction
SAOG back in 1972 with a mere initial capital of 25,000 and just
5 labors.

He worked really hard with limited labors and capital but there
was no limit to strength and courage. Under the leadership of Dr
P Mohamed Ali, they tool many challenging projects onboard
and came out with flying colors always. It is today now the most
trusted and best construction company in Oman. Dr P Mohamed
Alis dream and vision is now a reality. But as Mahatma Gandhi

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment,

full effort is full victory. Dr P Mohamed Ali wanted to achieve
quoted

more in his vision to give back to the society which soon lead
him venturing into different sectors like Oil & Gas, Marine

more, as Galfar was on the growth stage P Mohamed Ali saw that
Oman needed an uplift in the Educational sector as well. This
led him to incorporating institutions like Oman medical college,

All of this hard work got him honored with many varied
recognitions and awards, highest of which is the Oman Civil

Omani. He was also honored the degree of Doctor by Caledonian

Sword of honor for the safety processes followed at Galfar by the
