Pakistani experts talented enough
to explore minerals: Dr Samar at 9th GCU Convocation
The
copper and gold reservoirs are also located in North Wazristan, said
nuclear scientist Dr. Samar Mubarikmand while addressing the ninth
convocation of the Government College
University Lahore. He said that Pakistan is one of the richest
countries of the world in terms of mineral reserves and what we all need
is proper exploration of these reserves. “If we put steps in the right
way, Pakistan would be a developed rich state in next 10 to 20 years,”
he said. Dr. Samar said that despite the fact that our coal reserves are
located in powder form under water, Pakistan can produce 50,000 megawatt
electricity and 100 million barrel diesel just through the gasification
of these reserves. He said that our talented students have already
carried out a successful project to make diesel from the coal gas at
laboratory level. He said that according the recent evaluation the
copper and gold reservoirs only in Balochistan are amounted to 273
billion dollars and besides, the same kind of reserves have also been
discovered in North Waziristan.
Dr Samar
said that Pakistan students are also competent enough to explore and
utilize the mineral reservoirs of the country. However, we need
thousands of mathematicians, chemical analysts, engineers and other
experts for exploration of our mineral reserves at commercial scale.
But, unfortunately, we have a very small of number of
education institutes of higher education
which are producing quality manpower. “The Government College University
Lahore is one of them,” he added. The Nuclear scientists very proudly
told the participants that out of 140 experts who carried
nuclear explosions in 1998, as many as
60 were old Ravians and their team leaders who press the button for
explosions were also the former student of the
Government College Lahore. Dr. Samar advised the students the
country can’t wait more for quality leaders. “Now, the youth should lead
and work for the progress of its country,” he said. He also criticized
the nationalization policy of 1970s, saying that it stalled the
country’s progress.
Addressing the convocation, GCU Vice Chancellor
Prof. Khalid Aftab said that the absence
of quality education is the real cause of the overall social decline in
the country. He said that poor quality education gives birth to general
stagnation which, over time, may produce unmanageable problems, as is
evident in our society. He said that there are very few educational
institutions in the country which are providing quality education
students. He said higher education in Pakistan
has a class bias against the students of low-income strata. However,
Prof. Aftab also said as we expand access to higher education, standards
must not be sacrificed. Our objective should be: expansion with
diversity and excellence throughout the sector, so that we secure wider
participation in a higher education system
valued for its quality as a whole. The Vice Chancellor also highlighted
that the country’s higher education is not fully tuned to the needs of
modern economy and the same is evident in the existing mismatch between
the demand for various skills and the availability of manpower produced
by the universities.
He said
that universities need to develop new higher education opportunities at
various levels, particularly oriented to the
employability skills, specialist knowledge and broad
understanding of the new economy. He said that all over the world,
universities are powerful drivers of technological and other changes.
Pakistani universities therefore need to have incentives, particularly
through a focused government support, to open up to business. They also
need to become more entrepreneurial and aggressive in seeking new
markets. He said clear vision, good curriculum and managerial efficiency
can substantially improve the quality of university graduates, thus
building up human resources which are essential for keeping Pakistan in
a competitive position in the global market.
Presenting the university’s annual report, Prof. Aftab said that 22
teachers of GCU are at present studying for PhD degree abroad, while the
University also has 42 foreign professors in various departments which
is the highest number in any Pakistani university. Their presence is a
big advantage to us. The Vice Chancellor said that the previous
financial year was particularly difficult for the development work on
the campus. Not only was the university’s requests for grant to initiate
new development projects turned down, but the on-going projects also
remained unfunded, thus creating many administrative problems. We are
hoping that at least the on-going projects shall be funded in the
current year. He said that at the advent of the award of the University
status in 2002, we had set as our Millennium Development Goal, as it
were, to bring the GCU at par with the top
universities of the world in ten years. We believe that we are on
course towards that and, despite the constraints of financial resources
and paucity of quality teachers. Congratulating the passing-out
students, the Vice Chancellor also advised them said that as they
progress in life do keep in mind the debt you owe to their
Alma Mater. Never forget to repay it as
it would be the best investment for society’s future.
Later, Dr
Samar Mubarikmand
gives away medals and degrees to the position-holders. The
university awarded the prestigious medals to its 22 best students for
their outstanding performance in academic work and co-circular
activities, while doctorate degrees were
conferred on 31 scholars in various subjects. As many as 167 students
were awarded with M.Phil degrees at the Convocation.

Mater and advised them pay it off as much as they can. Later, the vice

Pakistan lacks quality human capital: VICE CHANCELLOR GCU
“The most crucial challenge that Pakistan confronts today
is a severe dearth of quality human capital, and it was a more graver
crisis as compared to the financial crunch,” said the Vice Chancellor GC
University Lahore while addressing the prize distribution ceremony
organized in the honor of the 10 Ravians who have secured positions in
the Lahore Board Intermediate Examinations 2010. The academics and
administrative heads of the departments, the Controller of Examinations
BISE Lahore and parents of the position holders were also present on the
occasion.
Talking to the position-holders, Professor Aftab said that
“semi literate” individuals fail to make a worthwhile contribution to
the national progress and therefore are liability. The vice chancellor
beseeched the talented youth to step forward and fill this void by
attaining quality education with diligence and perseverance. The vice
chancellor also laid a great stress on improving the quality of
graduates being passed out from various universities of Pakistan. He
said that the universities should produce the graduates who become
assets for the country, not the graduates who become liability for the
society. He believed that the higher the quality human capital is, the
greater would be the overall achievement of the country.
Later, talking to the vice chancellor, the position holders
said that they all got fired up when Pakistan is ranked among the third
world countries and promised that they would study day and night to
become an asset for Pakistan. Muhammad Ali Aun, the topper of 2010
exams, termed his stay at the Government College as “golden days of his
life.”
Speaking on the occasion, GCU Controller of Examinations
Ashraf Shabbir Bokhari said that 142 years have passed since the first
graduate of the Government College Lahore, Sanjhi Mull, in 1868 left the
portals of the alma mater to the enter the practical life for personal
success and public acclaim. Since then, he said, the sons and daughters
of this alma mater shaped the world around them and where ever they
went, they distinct themselves by their courage to know the truth,
decency, sanity, moderation in action and integrity. The controller of
examinations took pride in revealing that besides 10 positions; as many
as 409 GCU students secured A+ grade in the intermediate examinations
2010. He said GCU students have the record of securing highest marks in
the Board Examinations. “In 1999, GCU student Arsalan Munir broke the
12-year record of Lahore Board by securing 971 of 1100 marks. In 2008, a
GCU student Ahsan Ismail broke the record of Arsalan Munir by securing
1026 marks. In 2009, our student Muhammad Akram Karimi set a new record
with 1036 marks, and this year Muhammad Ali Aun has secured 1041 marks,
