The students of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST) shone when a competition based on a new concept was organised by them with the name of USR-University Social Responsibility. A statement here on Wednesday said that a platform was created where students from different universities participated and came up with new ideas regarding social issues and how they could contribute to the society.
It said that a healthy competition was seen among the students who seemed willing to bring about a change. The team that outclassed its competitors was the home team and was from the Rotract Society. The members of the team were Ali-ur-Rehman, Fahad Ali, Alina Nabi, Fatima Yosuf and Syed Mohammad Raza. A prize money of Rs 50,000 was given to the team.
"I'm very proud of my students. They all worked hard in planning and organising, this competition," said SZABIST Faculty Advisor, Hina Shamsi Nauman.
