Students get graduation degrees at convocation

LAHORE: The third convocation of Government Degree College for Women, Wapda Town, was held here on Monday.

Around 400 students of the 2011-16 sessions were conferred graduation degrees by Higher Education Minister Syed Raza Ali Gilani. He also gave away seven gold, six silver medals and as many bronze medals to students.


Speaking on the occasion, the minister said postgraduation classes at the college would commence from this year.

He also announced provision of funds for the construction of new classrooms as well as a modern auditorium for holding co-curricular activities.

Gilani said the youth should not take education as a career-support, rather use it as a necessary tool for moving forward in practical life. He asked the students to be aware of cultural invasion in the wake of rising globalisation as the digital revolution had affected everyone.

CONFERENCE: A women conference was held at the Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) in connection with the International Women’s Day.

Speaking on the occasion, LCWU Vice Chancellor Dr Rukhsana Kausar said that women would have to educate and empower themselves and work shoulder to shoulder with men. She said women needed to get themselves recognised by society and work hard for that.
