Speeches in Urdu

2014-11-15
I RECENTLY witnessed the seventh convocation of School of Engineering, NUST, Islamabad, on Oct 30 where all the speeches were delivered in Urdu.

Although I have attended various convocations in the last 10 years, I have never heard all speeches in Urdu at any convocation. I felt proud that someone took the right step.

The graduating students` parents also attended the convocation. I saw that they were able to understand every word when the rector, the principal of the school, and the chief guest gave speeches.

Another point worth nothing was that no one delivered a written speech. I hope that others would follow in the footsteps of NUST.
