Speaking about the potential of the students, he commented, “We know how much energy and potential there is in our students, we just need to tap into their potential and positively channel their energy for the benefit of this country.”

KU Students Advisor, Dr. Syed Asim Ali, said that we organized this event to encourage and recognize the services of the students because somehow we have not been able to recognize and encourage the students who are running their own companies and are positively contributing to the country.

“Now we will invite students from all departments of the university and honor them because they are an inspiration to other students as well,” he said.
