Admissions to nine job-oriented disciplines have been offered for academic year 2023 by Sindh University, says Vice-Chancellor Dr. Kalhoro

Jamshoro, November 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):Sindh University Vice-Chancellor Professor (Meritorious) Dr. Muhammad Siddique Kalhoro has said that the admissions to 9 job-oriented disciplines/ degree programs have been offered by the University of Sindh for the academic year 2023, which are in high demand in the employment market as the youths will get finer jobs in significant public and private institutions and organizations soon after completing their 4-year BS degree in newly launched disciplines including Forensic Account and Fraud Examination, Disaster Management, Poultry Farming and Management, Data Sciences, Public Health, English Language Teaching, Economics and Finance and Coastal and Marine Sciences.

He said the graduates could also start thriving business by learning the ways of success through the National Incubation Center established at SU’s Elsa Kazi Campus Hyderabad, adding that fishing was an vital sector, consequently, small ponds could be built on the land of the University of Sindh adjacent to the Karachi Feeder in Jamshoro, which could contribute to the government’s efforts to end the food crisis in the country.

This he said while addressing the seminar organized by the Department of Freshwater Biology and Fisheries in a bid to commemorate the World Fisheries Day. The department organized the seminar a day later than the original day in order to invite eminent researchers and government officials who normally remain busy in different programs on November 21 to mark the day. On the occasion, Chairman Freshwater Biology and Fisheries Department Prof. Dr. Khalid Hussain Lashari, Dean Faculty of Natural Sciences Prof. Dr. Wazir Ali Baloch, Dean Faculty of Social Sciences Prof. Dr. Hamadullah Kakepoto, Dean Faculty of Pharmacy Prof. Dr. Khalida Faryal Almani, SU Syndicate members Prof. Dr. Arfana Begum Mallah, Prof. Umed Ali Rind, Abdul Rahman Nangraj, Dr. Anila Naz Soomro, Dr. Muhammad Younis Leghari, Dr. Punhal Soomro, Dr. Makesh Kumar Khatwani, Jan e Alam Solangi, Dr. Rafique Ahmed Lashari, Dr. Riffat Sultana, Dr. Naheed Kaka and many others were present.

SU Vice-Chancellor Dr. Muhammad Siddique Kalhoro further said that the National Incubation Center (NIC) located in the SU’s Elsa Qazi Campus Hyderabad was fully functional for the young graduates of every discipline who could get training and opt for start-up. They will also be given tips to seek funds for their proposed entrepreneurship, before its formal start.

“The NIC will also help the youth make their respective businesses successful”, he said and added that the University of Sindh was not only providing qualified and trained manpower to the country, but it was also toiling to add to government efforts related to food shortage by rearing fish in view of future food needs.

He said that there was enough land of the University of Sindh lying adjacent to Karachi feeder in Jamshoro, where fish could be reared on a large scale by building different ponds, but the Higher Education Commission Islamabad and the provincial government should come forward to provide funds for the purpose.

Dr. Kalhoro further said that the Department of Freshwater Biology and Fisheries of the University of Sindh had received a project from HEC Islamabad for rearing and breeding palla fish, on which research work was going on and the varsity’s experts had nurtured palla fish, which were growing for reproduction.

“Almost all teachers of the Department of Freshwater Biology and Fisheries are PhD holders. They are determined to contribute to society in a befitting manner”, the Vice-Chancellor said. He stressed the need to get more fish related projects from HEC Islamabad and stated that the professors of fisheries department should submit proposals in this regard as it was the job of researchers and professors to prepare proposals bearing in mind the food requirements of the future.

Dr Kalhoro said that unfortunately, the research department had not been established in the local industries of the country including Sindh, adding that these manufacturing units imported all the goods from different countries, due to which the foreign exchange reserves were decreasing and the dollar was becoming expensive.

He said that the industries should invest in the universities and create a culture of joint research so that the required equipment could be supplied to the industries by producing them in the country. “Pakistan can only progress by diminishing imports. Let’s prepare the equipment in our own country by developing linkages between the university and industry”, he said and added that it will stabilize the value of rupee and create many employment opportunities for the youth.

Dr. Khalid Hussain Lashari, Dr. Muhammad Younis Leghari and others also spoke on the occasion. Earlier, a walk was also organized in connection with World Fisheries Day. The walk was led by the Vice Chancellor. However, teachers, students and officials of the relevant department of the provincial government participated in it.

On the other hand, the students of the Department of Freshwater Biology and Fisheries, under the supervision of their supervisors, organized an exhibition of various projects related to fish rearing, breeding and earning capital from it, in which teachers, students and officials of the Sindh government took great interest.

Call for constructing toilets at public places to halt pollution of underground water, environment, and human health

Jamshoro, November 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):Speakers have demanded that the provincial government should construct toilets at public places and make proper arrangements for cleaning them, besides making latrines part of the policy as the lavatories are directly related to human health, environment, river and underground water.

They said that Pakistan was actually the third largest country after India and Indonesia, where people were forced to defecate in the open air, while the problem of sanitation persisted not only in the country but also at a global level.

This they said while addressing a seminar organized by the Sindh University’s Bureau of STAGS in collaboration with Water Aid on the occasion of World Toilet Day at Sheikh Ayaz Auditorium of Arts Faculty Building. Dean Faculty of Social Sciences Professor Dr. Hamadullah Kakepoto presided over the seminar.

The speakers said that as many as 3.6 billion people were living in very poor and unsanitary conditions, while there was a toilet crisis and a pitiable sanitation system across the country including Sindh. In his presidential address Dr. Hamadullah Kakepoto said that due to low quality toilets or open defecation by people was extremely harmful to human health and the environment, because it polluted the environment and spread the smell far and wide.

He said that it was necessary to follow the proper principles of cleanliness in washrooms, for which every member of the society and the government had to play a pivotal role. Environmentalist Dr. Amanullah Mahar said that proper human health plans were essential to protect underground water, adding that where there were no good quality toilets, human waste polluted rivers, lakes, soil and underground water to a great extent which he said was hazardous.

“It is said precaution is better than cure, therefore, the government should prioritize the mental and physical health of the nation, but unluckily it can’t be seen anywhere in Pakistan”, he lamented. Director of the SU’s Bureau of STAGS Professor Dr. Ghazala Panhwar said that the countries that prioritized the mental and physical health of their nation had made their people cleanliness lovers.

She said that the governments that took concrete steps to provide toilet facilities, after understanding the secret of protecting the underground water, environment, rivers, lakes and soil, were maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. She said that it was the need of the hour to effectively control the environment through implementing strict regulations, after constructing clean toilets at all major places including parks and gardens.

She demanded that the Sindh government should take steps to ensure the provision of public latrines everywhere and that their cleanliness should also be managed, adding that the provincial government should make it a part of its policy. Provincial Coordinator of Water Aid Raheema Panhwar said that many countries, especially the countries in Asia and Africa, had major problems related to toilets and sanitation, because proper attention had not been paid to the issue so far, which always caused the spread of epidemic and chronic diseases.

She said that whenever a disease took place in these countries, including Pakistan, it spread at the larger scale as a result of which it infected many people in a short span of time. She said the provincial and federal governments had to develop a mechanism to ensure the establishment of toilets and their sanitation.

Dr. Naveed Ahmed of Mehran Engineering University said that pan stains and garbage spoke well about the indifference of toilet users across the country, including Sindh, adding that pan spits in the latrines always unearthed as to how civilized the people of Pakistan were as a nation.

He demanded that the provincial government should construct toilets at various public places and parks, besides; it should launch a campaign to create awareness among the people about how to use toilets and how to take care of sanitation. Dr. Ahmed Ali Brohi, Dr. Ishrat Afshan Abbasi, Professor Muhammad Siddique Soomro, Dr. Rashid Khuhro, Professor Farhat Jokhio, Fauzia Siddiqui and many others participated in the seminar.

Speakers stress need to promote education for sustainable development of Pakistani society

Jamshoro, November 16, 2022 (PPI-OT):Speakers at a seminar have stressed the need to promote education for the sustainable development of the Pakistani society and said that the people of Pakistan are the actual caretakers of the country and the surest means to political stability and strength. They said that mutual toleration, forbearance and adjustment were indispensable for a strong society, adding that political firmness had been a subtle thing for Pakistan because since its establishment, the seeds of unsteadiness had been sown in the country.

This they said while addressing the seminar titled “Future of Democracy in Pakistan, which was organized by the Department of Political Science, University of Sindh Jamshoro in its auditorium here on Tuesday. Chairman SU’s Department of Political Science Prof. Dr. Ghulam Akbar Mahesar in his presidential remarks said that the Lahore resolution passed in 1940 by the high-flying leaders of the Muslim community of the United India vividly mirrored a vision of a consultative and democratic process.

He said that the creation of Pakistan in 1947 and its post-1971 renewal represented a persistence of the process with intermittent suspensions and some participative methods to achieve national stability and cohesion through democracy. “Even in the military-led governments, the democratic facet was strengthened by conducting elections, truly empowered Local Governments (2001-2008) and the introduction and promotion of public and private electronic media channels since 2002 to strengthen freedom of expression in a democratic way”, he said.

Dr. Mahesar opined that the 18th Constitutional Amendment adopted in 2010 was an example of how civil, political and elected governments could forge a progressive consensus for decentralization of power to address new challenges and complexities that arose in times of rapid change and effectively deal with issues specific to Pakistan’s modern needs.

He also stressed that debate and such consultative dialogues were the need of the hour to strengthen democracy in the country in true letter and spirit. Another speaker Khaleeque Zaman Mahesar shed light upon the historical development of Muslim political consciousness in South Asia when Muslims were able to establish their own state. It was the result of their dedication and sacrifice.

He said the sense of uncertainty was mainly accountable for dishonesty and bribery, adding that the insecurity and diffidence could be diluted by providing the public with unambiguous legitimate assurances. Dr. Bisharat Lanjwani emphasized the need for the promotion of education and added that any society that promoted education, got actually sustainable development.

He said that Pakistan was passing through a crucial period of its history but there could certainly be a way out if the public and politicians collectively willed so. Dr. Imran Noonari gave a comprehensive overview of the political and constitutional history of Pakistan and said that some people with an autocratic mind-set got into the power corridors and the real needs and realities of the country were disregarded and ignored.

He further stated that even democracy in the country had had a breakable history. True social equality, he added, needed a real milieu of forbearance and magnanimity. Dictatorships had thwarted a valid development of democracy in the country and hence political firmness. Dr Jamshed Baloch said that if Pakistan’s political elite had matured enough, it would have saved the country from the collapse in 1971.

He outlined certain aspects that, if implemented, could transform Pakistani society: the movement for the civil rights of people should persist, essential primary schooling is a must, efforts ought to be taken to lessen the graft and corruption level, and the exports of the country must be doubled than the imports.

On the occasion, students Anfal Soomro, Mehak Munir and Ashfaq Jamali also made speeches on the topic. Among a large number of students of Political Science, International Relations and other departments, the faculty members Ghulam Mustafa Gaho, Ahmed Hussain Shah Bukhari, Hansraj Hans, Khalida Hira Soomro and Rahib Hussain Radhan also participated in the seminar.
