A launching ceremony of colouring book on "SAY NO TO CORRUPTION" was held at NAB Headquarter. Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, Chairman NAB presided over the ceremony. This book has been specially designed by National College of Arts, Lahore for primary level children which was sponsored by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The purpose was to convey the message of anti-corruption across the country.
The colouring book ceremony was attended by Federal Secretary, Education and Professional Training, Principal National College of Arts, Lahore, Chief Representative, JICA, Joint Educational Advisor, Ministry of Education and Professional Training, Director General, Federal Directorate of Education, Islamabad, Secretary, Federal Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education and representatives of prominent public and private schools.
Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, Chairman NAB in his address, welcomed all the participants and said that children are our tomorrow. They will grow up to be the leaders in different fields of life. What our children are going to be in future is what we make them today.
That's the reason, NAB has taken this initiative of introducing colouring book for primarily level children in a bid to re-emphasise its commitment towards eradication of corruption by involving children through their teachers at an early age as colouring book uniquely examines the factors that contribute to various forms of corruption and will go a long way in changing the mindset and perception of our future generation towards corruption. It will greatly help in sensitising the children against ill effects of corruption.
He further said that today, this ceremony underlines our continued commitment to eradicate corruption from Pakistan. The realm of imparting anti-corruption education is going to a mile stone in future in witness the showcasing of talents of the young-buds in a positive direction.
He said that NAB being an apex anti-corruption agency of Pakistan is striving hard for eradication of corruption through a holistic three pronged strategy of Awareness, Prevention and Enforcement. The Awareness & Enforcement process when energised with enforcement and prosecution will ensure that possibility of abuse of authority is substantially reduced and corruption is ultimately curbed.
He appreciated and thanked the contribution extended by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for sponsoring the colouring books "Say No to Corruption". He also thanked National College of Arts (NCA) Lahore for designing such master piece. The talents demonstrated by students of NCA in the making and designing of these colouring books are the proof that they have the potentiality to be the useful citizens of Pakistan in future.
The participants appreciated Chairman NAB's initiative and assured their possible help and assistance in this regard. They unanimously said that eradication of corruption is an ultimate goal and every one must play his role. The meeting ended with the firm resolve to carry the task of anti-corruption in the whole country.-PR
