Climate Change is one of the most pressing environmental issues in the world. In recent years, Pakistan has experienced severe weather conditions, such as floods, droughts, and heat waves, which have caused significant damage to the environment and the economy. To tackle this problem, it is essential to encourage environment-friendly practices in university students, who are the future leaders of the country. The key objectives of the event were: to educate the student about the importance of recycling and to share ideas about plastic, paper and glass recycling, enlighten them about composting and to learn the methods of turning food waste into nutrient-rich soil.

Another objective was to create a sense of inclusivity in students through interacting at stalls including Cooked and Baked item stalls, Jewellery stalls (Eco-friendly), Eco-Friendly item stalls (cutlery, water bottles, re-used shirts, tote bags), Sketch and Painting stalls (Reused paper, Recycled Canvases) and other creative stalls to be managed by students from different societies. The enthusiastic Eco Learners of both NUMS and Armed Forces Postgraduate Medical Institute (AFPGMI) set up their stalls including waste to wonder, shop green, Jewells by momii, door to green world cuisine, pasta la vista, candles of concord, farm to table, eco-oasis, eco-builders, best out of waste, it starts with you, sounds green to me, green pages, green tourism, Panipuri stall, let’s play clean and burger fest.

There were strict rules for stall registration and participation for example to provide reusable or compostable materials, to use compost bins, to encourage attendees to bring their containers and to recycle as much as possible to practice zero waste policy at NUMS. The stalls were open for sale. In the end, the judges including Patron GYM, Prof. Dr Azam Chaudhary and GYM oversight committee members including Ms Sara Shafiq and Dr Wasim Sajjad announced the winners of Green Day. The 1st Position went to “Candles of Concord”, stall 2nd to “Best out of Waste”, and 3rd Position was won by “Shop Green”.

IUB is providing financial assistance to 20,000 students through various scholarship schemes, Spokesperson IUB

Bahawalpur, April 10, 2023 (PPI-OT):Spokesman of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur has said that a few people are spreading misleading propaganda on social media contrary to the facts regarding the financial affairs of the university. The Islamia University of Bahawalpur is a historical institution of higher learning where administrative and financial affairs are conducted in a disciplined manner under the rules and regulations. In the past four years, the university has taken many fruitful steps to increase its financial stability and income. However, around 800 million rupees have been due from the Higher Education Commission for the last two years. Despite the non-receipt of this pending amount, the university managed its financial affairs regularly. Among them are 6,000 male and female students with the Benazir Scholarship Scheme, who have been receiving scholarships for three years without interruption.

Islamia University Bahawalpur is the biggest partner institution of Benazir Scholarships, where such a large number of students are benefiting from these scholarships. Apart from this, Islamia University Bahawalpur is also providing scholarships worth 400 million rupees annually to thousands of male and female students under the Financial Crisis Scheme. In total, the university is providing financial assistance to 20,000 students through various scholarship schemes, including the Benazir scheme and other scholarships, financial crisis resources, and fee concessions. Despite the non-provision of funds by the Higher Education Commission, all these scholarship schemes have been maintained by the university administration so far, but now the pending funds from the Higher Education Commission have become indispensable to save the educational future of thousands of students.

The spokesperson added that media and public opinion should keep these concrete facts in front and not listen to any kind of irresponsible negative propaganda. Full legal action will be taken against the perpetrators of the false fabrication and anarchy campaign in this regard on social media and those elements who are damaging the reputation of university officials by making very false accusations will be held accountable.
