LARKANA: Guests and visitors appreciated different models and charts displayed at a three-day ‘Science and Arts Festival’ that began here on Tuesday at the Government Girls Degree College.

Inaugurating the event, Additional Commissioner-I Ahmed Sultan Khoso said: “Our girls are not less than our MPhil scholars”.

He said that such festivals were needed very much in the hard times of the coronavirus and related problems. He congratulated teachers of geography and Islamic studies for guidance to girls in making the models.

Other colleges should also hold such festivals so that knowledge of their students could also be enhanced, praised and highlighted, he added.

College principal Prof Irshad Abbasi said the institution was one of the biggest and oldest colleges of northern Sindh and it was also followed by other institutions.

She said that today’s festival had proved that local children and teachers had more capabilities which needed to be appreciated.

The principal of Government Girls Degree College, Naudero, said that such festivals enhanced the knowledge of students, which should be regularly held in all colleges of the province for the benefit of the students as the events were a great source of learning.

Prof Rizwan Gul, head of the geography department, said geography was a basic subject of science which was very easy to teach.

He said students had prepared their models after months’ labour, which highlighted physical, human, climate, coastal and other branches of geography.

Professors of Islamic studies and organizers of the festival professors Salma Abbasi and Shabnam Shaikh said they had introduced a new trend through which teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) could be explained through models and charts’ preparation.

They said it was a modern and purposeful method of teaching the students about Islam.
