PCS: > Chairman`s Message


I congratulate you on joining the Punjab College of Women, By unifying several colleges into a single whole, we have created unity in diversity. I assure you that in opting for our academic institution, you have made the wisest choice of your educational career as we are dedicated not only to sharpening the intellectual caliber of our students but also strengthening their moral Fibre. Our new educational complex not only focuses (in the teaching of science but also lend greater sanctity and relevance to the merged units. The change is expected to generate a sense of healthy competition among the students who will try to outshine one another in this really challenging environment, Furthermore, a pooling together of intellectual resources will provide incentives for scientific research which is our most pressing need, Science and progress are inseparable one complements the other.

The future of mankind is, in fact, linked with the future of science. Those who cold-shoulder it will remain behind; and those who embrace it will guarantee their survival. The pattern of contrast is already reflected in the life styles and social ambience of the developed and the underdeveloped worlds. While the advanced nations are reaping the perks of scientific research, the developing nations are still living in primitive times, the graph of their prosperity dipping day by day.

As a country, we are lagging far behind others in the field of scientific research and technology. Hence, we should adopt a positive stance and in this context, what could be a greater illustration of the gesture than our attempt to bring all our colleges of Women under the umbrella of Punjab College of Women, It is my honest conviction that a step in the right direction prompted by a noble motive, gives rise to a range of implications for the spread of scientific knowledge in the country.

Scientific innovation, therefore, is coming to us not as a threat bill as a promise, not as a punishment hut as a gift. So science is a boom for humanity. For example, the thought of engineering living organisms no longer conjures up sinister images. What we see before our eyes are not hideous distortions but useful products. We no longer feel dread but only elated expectations at the great possibilities that lie in store for each us.

I earnestly hope that Punjab College of Women, in its enlightened approach to scientific development, will prove itself to be a precious landmark eliminating the irrational human fears about scientific innovations, especially when they promote human well-being and help in wiping out disease and squalor.

I sincerely pray that Punjab College of Women will be of immeasurable help in shedding apprehensions and reservations that might block our march to progress, and in restructuring the country on sound and logical grounds, free from the canker of ignorance and prejudice.
