Ever active and steady towards students’ problems, welfare and assistance is no other than the student advisor of our department.
In the early days of 2010 much sports activity was seen by certain students of our department under the student advisor’s leadership. It was well appreciated by sports lovers, but now the fervor has evaporated.
We saw the formulation of half a dozen committees, several meetings were held, discussions and plans of a lot of coming projects were made, but no practical implementation was seen and everything remains on paper. I had the honour to be the head of the sports committee from which after a short span of time, I “resigned”.
Our department was the champion in inter-departmental tournament in sports like badminton (Sara Ali and Sara Mehmood) and table tennis (Qurat-ul-ain).
The names in the brackets state our students who won last year’s title in their event. We were also the champions of an unofficial but “widely watched and supported” cricket tournament last year. Our teachers appreciated us and our colleagues boosted our morals but what happened this year is truly ridiculous.
We didn’t participate in any sports tournament or inter-departmental games this year mainly because a couple of students who even though are very concerned and enthusiastic in participating are very conveniently absent when the time to act comes.
And when the responsibility is only on one person who is there in her office conducting classes matters do not improve. When I approached her for an immediate application to allow two of our department players to participate in a badminton match she told me very briefly how to get a permission letter from her.
So sadly due to mismanagement of a few “not-so-able” bodies the department of mass communication could not make it to any sports event organized by the university.
its sad, our department has been known for sports for a long time!
