  • Pehchan Pakistan - Educate the Uneducated
    Hark, ye Youth, For the Country Calls! Seema Mughal, Vice-Chancellor By involving our young generation in celebrations of our historical achievements and national heroes, we instill in them patriotism and a sense of dedication towards Pakistan, for we cannot always build the future of our youth but we can build the youth for our future. It is our hope that the youth will develop a stronger sense of themselves, their community and their nation. Let our younger generation know that patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. Let us together give thanks to the Almighty for His infinite increased civic engagement and act as an antidote to the mercy and blessings for our independent homeland. It was with disenchantment and cynicism rampant among the young. this feeling of supplication that Greenwich University celebrated 14th of August and 6th of September, 2013, also attended by I feel truly proud of the brilliant performance of students who civil dignitaries and those of armed forces, to convey the put in all their hard work and dedication in both the events to message, particularly to our youth, that freedom and honour we prove to themselves and everyone what they are capable of. enjoy today did not appear by chance or was handed to us for Keep up the good work, you surely deserve this recognition! free.

  • National Human Development Report
    Pakistan National Human Development Report Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan The front cover of this report represents a vi- sual exercise depicting Pakistan’s youth as a 100 young people. Our wheel of many colours represents the multiple dimensions of what it means to be young in Pakistan today. Based on national data as well as results of our own sur- veys, the Wheel presents a collage of informa- tion on Pakistan’s young people (details in Chap- ter 2). This tapestry shows the diversity as well as vibrance of our youth, while also highlighting the inequities and hurdles they face as young Pakistanis. We chose the Wheel as this Report’s motif and cover art, because it represents not only the basis of our hopes for the future, but also our concerns. Diagram inspired by Jack Hagley’s ‘The world as100 people’. Pakistan National Human Development Report 2017* Unleashing the Potential of a Young Pakistan *NOTE: The data (including national statistics, survey results and consultations) in this report was mostly completed in 2016. Published for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Human Development Reports: In 1990, Dr. Mahbub ul Haq produced the first Human Develop- ment Report, introducing a new concept of human development focusing on expanding people’s opportunities and choices, and measuring a country’s development progress though the richness of human life rather than simply the wealth of its economy. The report featured a Human Devel- opment Index (HDI) created to assess the people’s capabilities. The HDI measures achievements in key dimensions of human development: individuals enabled to live long and healthy lives, to be knowledgeable, and have a decent standard of living.

  • Peaks Around Boesam Pass Pakistan, Karakoram, Ghujerab Mountains
    AAC Publications Peaks Around Boesam Pass Pakistan, Karakoram, Ghujerab Mountains James Lawson, Will Smith, and I initially planned to visit the Yashkuk-Yaz Glacier in northwest Gilgit-Baltistan, near the Afghan border. Unfortunately, our permit was denied at the last minute. Inspired by a report from Pete Thompson in AAJ 2016, we subsequently planned to visit the Virjerab Glacier and attempt unclimbed Khurdopin Sar (6,310m). However, on arrival in Shimshal we found that during the previous months the Khurdopin Glacier had advanced by a kilometer, preventing all access to the Virjerab Glacier. A Pakistani Army geological survey confirmed this and also noted a 100,000-square-meter glacial lake, which burst in late July, shortly after our trip finished, damaging farmland and a key road. Fortunately, no one was hurt. Needing a new objective in the Shimshal Valley, we were informed of an area of unclimbed peaks a little under 6,000m, close to Boesam Pass (ca 5,000m). We arranged porters from Shimshal and reached base camp (36.53042°N, 75.33411°E), southwest of the pass, on our third day of trekking from Shimshal. Over the next three and a half weeks, we made seven attempts to climb peaks, completing what we believe to be four first ascents. Having set up a high camp on the pass, we climbed the northwest face of the snowy 5,700m peak at 36.53440°N, 75.36591°E in order to acclimatize (PD). The next day we attempted to climb up the basin opposite but found the ridge at the back of the cwm impassable.
