Further more the Program Committee had meetings with Prof. Dr. Arshad, DG NUST as well as SAC Chair Islamabad Section. We discussed different issues related to Student Activities and suggested some points for Islamabad Section. I realized that IEEE Lahore section is the most active Section in student activities. Dr. Arshad appreciated IEEE PSC working and announced 4 internships for IEEE members - 2 for IEEE Student Members from Lahore and 2 for Student Members from Karachi.

 

Second meeting was done with Islamabad Section Chair Mr. AVM Saleem Tariq. He also appreciated the working of PSC. I raised the need of more interaction and collaboration among the three IEEE Sections in Pakistan. He also discussed to establish IEEE Pakistan Council.

 

Mr. AVM Saleem Tariq and Dr. Arshad showed their interest to have interaction and participation in joint meetings with Lahore and Karachi sections.

 

Hope this congress will help to promote awareness among Pakistani students and bring them closer.
