VC Home Economics varsity visits UO

Okara (HRNW)- The Vice Chancellor University of Home Economics Lahore, Prof Dr Kanwal Amin, visited the University of Okara and addressed a seminar on women rights.
The UO Vice Chancellor, Prof Dr Muhammad Zakria Zakar, welcomed Dr Kanwal and hailed her contribution for the academic development of the UHE.
The speakers at the seminar discussed various challenges and opportunities regarding women rights in Pakistan.
Dr Zakar Said, “Instead of debating and drawing conclusion from borrowed western slogans, we have to work to ensure fundamental entitlements and rights of women”.
Dr Kanwal told, “We should first treat women as human beings than as a gender. In order to bracket women as a gender, we deny them most of the fundamental human rights”.
Dr Kanwal, who is an information management expert, also visited the UO main library and reviewed the hardcopy catalogs and digital resources available there for the students. He applauded the Chief Librarian Rashid Maqbool’s efforts to connect the UO library with various national and international academic databases.
