We are no less than students of top universities of Pakistan

By Hurma Khan

For me its very upsetting too hear discriminatory remarks about the students of Karachi university on the issue that whether they are worthwhile or not to have them in any organizations, conferences etc.

People should realize that even the best of intellectuals have came up from this very institution and are presently working on top posts in different fields. This clearly shows if you have the talent in you then you can succeed irrespective of the circumstances.

One of our very own Haya Fatima is presently studying in New York University on a scholarship. Not only this previously, she has tripped to USA and Thailand for different educational purposes on different scholarships. In addition Manam Iqbal went to China as a youth delegate from Pakistan. I can proudly say that two of my class mates Narjis Fatima and Ferya Ilyas are in USA these days for a six month period on full bright scholarship under cultural exchange program.

Sabina Rizwan of our department was presented with bronze medal by duke of Edinburgh in UK for being one of the outstanding young talents. Similarly Sadaf Asif of IR department participated in SAARC simulation exercise which was conducted by KU and went onto grab the award of best individual performer. For her efforts she was awarded a trip to Germany for a one month program.

The reason for highlighting these facts is that we should be proud of ourselves for being a part of KU and try to enhance its reputation trough our individual achievements because duffers can also be easily found in best private universities of the country. I am proud to be a part of it and so should be all the students who are studying in it.
