In recognition of its extraordinary Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and initiatives, National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) was conferred the CSR Award for "Impact through Education" by the National Forum for Environment & Health (NFEH) at a ceremony held at the Serena Hotel.

Deputy Speaker National Assembly, Qasim Khan Suri, was the chief guest and bestowed the CSR awards in multiple categories upon the representatives of award winning organisations and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Dr Nassar Ikram, Pro-Rector RIC NUST, received the award on behalf of the university.

The accolade awarded to NUST speaks volumes of how the university is effervescently engaged in creating discernible positive impact on the communities at large by providing quality education for all. In conjunction, the award is a token of appreciation for NUST for bringing a difference in the lives of the underserved by offering need-based scholarships to the deserving yet financially challenged students from across Pakistan.

Under its flagship NUST Endowment for Educational Development (NEED) initiative, NUST endeavours to ensure that students from financially challenged backgrounds, who qualify on merit for admission at the university, are provided financial aid options to pursue their aspirations. Since 2015, NUST has been able to extend this impact to more than 1500 students and counting.

The ever-growing willingness and support of the corporate sector is one of the defining factors that have accelerated the programme, thus creating more opportunities for academically sound students from underprivileged backgrounds to pursue quality education at NUST.

The recently inaugurated NUST Balochistan Campus (NBC) at Quetta is a step towards achieving this objective, and bears witness to its commitment to providing world class education to students from across Pakistan. God willing, the initiative is destined to go a long way in the economic, social and human resource development of Balochistan.-PR
