IslamabadAs many as 1000 graduates and post graduates of the Riphah International University were awarded degrees in various disciplines during its sixth convocation ceremony held here Saturday.
The students who recieved degrees belonged to Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Management Sciences, Engineering and Applied Sciences and Computer Sciences.
Around 22 Zulfiqar Gold Medals and 18 Chancellors Gold Medals were awarded to the graduates and post graduates for obtaining top positions in the examinations and securing distinction for their best performance in the academic field in various disciplines.
Renowned scientist Dr Samar Mubarikmand was the chief guest on the occasion.
Dr. Samar Mubarakmand, in his address, said Pakistan is endowed with vast resources and the fertile lands yield abundant quantities of cotton, wheat, rice, oilseeds, fruits etc, which not only feed and cloth our people but also find their way into world markets to fulfill the needs of other countries.
He said 95 % of the wealth of Pakistan lies under its soil in the form of huge deposits of coal, cooper, gold silver, iron ore, lead, zinc, chromites and bauxite.
Large gas fields and oil deposits may be lying under ground awaiting discovery.
He emphasized on diverting brilliant human resource to the fruitful exploitation of the immense mineral wealth to break the shackles of present poverty.
He urged the private sector to invest monetarily in these ventures while the intellectual input has to be forthcoming from the universities and research institutions of the country.
With a single minded focus on this vision there is no reason why the economy of the nation will not take a giant leap forward, he added.
The Pro-Chancellor of the university, Hassan M. Khan, in his speech, said that Riphah International University has built 40 houses for flood affected people near charsaddah and these shall be handed over by the end of this month.
Referring to the presence of Dr. Samar Mubarakmand as the chief guest, the Pro-Chancellor said he is pioneering in amazing new technology to optimally exploit Thar coal deposits to produce enough electricity to get rid of loadshedding in Pakistan forever.
The Vice Chancellor of the university Prof. Dr. Anis Ahmad said education and particularly higher education is linked with the economic development, therefore, current trend in higher education is to develop linkage with the industry. Dr Samar stresses for exploitation of mineral wealth
