Misconceptions about Punjab removed: Baloch high-achievers

* Position-holders visit Lahore’s educational institutions
* Request govt to announce special scholarships
* Facilities in Punjab incomparable with those in Balochistan

Staff Report

LAHORE: Top position-holders in the matriculation and intermediate examinations of 2009 from Balochistan, who are visiting Lahore on an invitation from the Punjab government, said their perspective of the province has changed after their visit.

The students demanded the Punjab government increase number of seats in educational institutions instead of allocating quota system for Baloch students. They said special scholarships should be announced for Baloch students.

A delegation of 20 students on Thursday visited various educational institutions of the city and discussed their problems regarding the education system. The students visited the Government College University, Lahore College For Women University and the Punjab University, besides various historical monuments.

Muhammad Ammar, an FSc student, appreciated the Punjab government, saying it had done a lot for its people. He said the delegation had received a great response from Lahore and their misconceptions about the province had changed.

Scholarships: Sehrish Zahoor, the topper in Arts in matriculation, said she was surprised to see that there were private and public universities at every corner of Lahore, while there were only two universities in Balochistan. She requested the government to announce scholarships for Baloch students.

Rabia, an FSc student, said there was a huge difference between educational institutions of Balochistan and Lahore, as the institutions here were provided with modern facilities. She said it was a fact that the Balochistan government had not followed Punjab with regards to educational facilities.

Facilities: Maheen, who secured the second position in FSc, said the facilities provided in Balochistan could not be compared to those in Punjab. She said the students’ misconceptions regarding Punjabi people had changed after their visit to the city.

LAHORE

A DELEGATION from Balochistan comprising position holder students of matriculation and intermediate examinations, 2009, visited various educational institutions of the provincial metropolis on Thursday.

During their visit to the Punjab University (PU), PU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran offered them free education at the PU and said chief minister’s initiative of inter-provincial visits of talented students was promoting national solidarity.

The VC advised the students to adopt education and research as their career and do PhDs in the subjects of their interest because Pakistan was in dire need of subject specialists. He also briefed them about the four campuses, teachers and departments of the varsity and answered to the questions of the students.

The delegation was led by Sardar Mosa College Principal Rabab Durrani and Quetta Degree Science College Assistant Professor Nadir Shah.

Dr Kamran informed the delegation that the PU provided monthly scholarships of Rs 3,000 each to four students of the NWFP on the recommendations of the Punjab CM. Later, the students visited the PU School of Biological Sciences and Main Library.

The delegation also visited the 145-year-old Government College University (GCU), Lahore, and met with its Vice Chancellor Dr Khalid Aftab. The students also enjoyed a music performance at the university.

The delegation, escorted by traffic wardens, Punjab police and the officials of protocol department, spent a couple of hours there.

They were taken to the GCU Sports Complex where they were briefed about the different sports facilities. Watching the pictures gallery, the students also asked several questions about the famous Ravian cricketers, including Aamir Sohail, Ramiz Raja and Inzamamul Haq. They also asked about the academic performance of these cricketers. Later, they were taken to the GCU postgraduate library where they watched a 15-miniute movie about the GCU libraries. The students were offered refreshment at the historical Old Hall where they also watched the group photographs of pre-partition students. GCU Vice Chancellor Dr Khalid Aftab discussed his personal experiences with the students in an informal meeting at the Syndicate’s Meeting Room.
