Punjab Governor Malik Rafique Rajwana urged female students to play their role by serving society and the nation after completion of their education, instead of sitting idle at home.
He expressed these views while addressing the 1st convocation of Women University, in Multan on Saturday.
PML-N MPAs, Rana Mehmoodul Hassan, Ms Khola Amjad, Punjab HEC Chairman Dr Nizamuddin, MNSUA VC, Dr Asif Ali, Director Air University Multan campus, Dr Hayat Awan and several others educationists attended the convocation.
“Practically contribute to the nation and society by repaying the country which you owe to it,” he said.
The governor said that women are engineers, fighter pilots these days, and are outshining their male counterparts.
He said that a meeting of Vice-Chancellors Committee would be convened soon on his suggestion, which will be presided over by the president.
He appreciated teachers of special children and said, “Special children teachers are working with too much labour and hard work. They love these kids more than their own.”
Quoting the example of Nelson Mandela, he said that Mandela rose to the high pedestal with a very humble background.
“You are our future. We have high hopes for you. No one can stop us from progress and prosperity because our youth is very talented,” he added.
“Never let your dreams die,” Rajwana said and added that both federal and Punjab governments have been paying special attention to education and health projects.
