CUST volunteers program at IPS concludes

The concluding session for volunteer students – who remained associated with IPS as part of a collaborative effort between CUST-VIS (Capital University of Science and Technology-Volunteers in Service) program and IPS’ Volunteer program – was held at the Institute on March 7, 2022.

The session was facilitated by Chairman IPS Khalid Rahman, who highlighted the ways in which young people of Pakistan can play their part in national defence and prosperity, especially through a mature and responsible use of social media in dispersing information, building perceptions, formulating public opinions, and instigating responses. He also informed the students about fifth generation war, while asserting the role that the students and youth can play in confronting the tactics of hybrid warfare being waged by adversaries.

It is worth mentioning that during their two-week long association with the Institute, which lasted from February 22 to March 7, 2022, the volunteering students had the opportunity to participate in various seminars and discussions with subject specialists, and perform certain tasks assigned to them by different departments of the Institute.
