 The chief guest of this huge event, World Telecommunication Information Society Day 2015, I would like to get permission from our worthy chief guest to start this program. Can I start sir? Thank you so much. World Telecommunication Information and Society Day is an annual event of ITU celebrated on 17th May every year and therefore it provides as a unique opportunity to bring together a uniquely comprehensive audience of the public and a private sector players at the highest level across the globe including Academia. In this respect, variety of events take place in the telecom sector throughout the world. It is an honor and privilege for the Department of Telecommunication Engineering mute to be the part of this worthy event ITU 150th celebration. WTIST is a regular event celebrated by the telecom department in Mehran University. The main feature of the event is a guest lecture by a very sound technical person from industry and in this regard we invite people from Academia, Telecommunication and the IT sector and from the from social organizations as well. The main theme for the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day is telecommunication and ICTs are the drivers of the innovations. This is a current year theme and our worthy key notice speaker from Islamabad is going to be here and give the lecture on the event and the main thing is that we all are going to join the Geneva as our video will be broadcast there in Geneva conference in the event today. Before the starting of the program I would like to request Sariah Sumro for the recitation of the Qur'an. JazakAllah. I would like to request our worthy Dean, Professor Dr. Bhawani Shankar Chaudhry, to come for the welcome speech for this event. Professor Dr. Abdel Karim Baloch Sahib, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Engineering, Sciences and Technology, Shahid Benazirabad. Our speaker from Mr. Vakas who travelled all the way from Islamabad and very short notice. Dr. Ahmadullah Kazi, our alumni, Vice-Chancellor neighbouring university, Isra University, Hyderabad, Madam Nazfisa, Chairperson telecom. The guest from telecom industry, our colleagues from university of sin, faculty members, I think most of the colleagues who travelled from PTCL and other places, they are almost our alumni and they have been contributing to the society as per ITU guidelines and everything. Our students, very good afternoon, As-Salaam-Alaikum. We are having some problem especially in terms of jobs in this country and we have to think about those things and that's what I was discussing. Rather, Vakas was discussing today's speaker with me that whatever engineering we teach, whatever technical things we teach, if you don't have a business component in it, entrepreneurship skills in it and that usually goes to waste and that's how one can see, other day I was reading in a dawn that Pakistan got 4,000 plus patents and then only two patents they have been commercialized. So until and unless there's no business component attached to it, our students, they are lacking in some of these things. I think we have been revising this telecom curriculum but I think special courses, trainings, these could be conducted to achieve that hallmark. So I hope we'll have this good lecture today and I'm again I welcome all of you and I'm grateful that this is one has to show the spread that Sunday and still we are here. Most of our faculty members they perform duty in the morning from 9 till 1 and still they are here but I think it's all to get some better fruit. Thank you very much. Thank you so much sir Bhavani for the kind words. Thank you very much for giving me the honor to come to Jamshorov and share my experiences which are not of that value as the value sitting over here and the value sitting over here it's just a life thought I should be sharing it with my colleagues and the upcoming students so that they can also make a difference in the development of Pakistan, not only in their life but in the development of Pakistan. Go to the idea for which I'm here and actually the core principle of me being here is to share that engineering is not the only thing which will take you through all the ups and downs of the coming ages. It is a necessary component but it is not the only thing we have to realize that and based on the concept of the ITU that telecom and ICT are no more just technologies they are now becoming the drivers of innovation and what does we mean with innovation something which is changing our lives so if technology is not changing our life in one way or the other I think it's we need to redefine our definition of technology so the important thing is that everybody is talking that how technology and ICT is creating role in innovation but I guess the more important is that how we can build that brain power which can convert this technology and ICT into innovation and into changing lives. So we need to build the right brain power and for that I think everybody knows this guy and look what he said surprising words we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them so we do make efforts in creating problems and then we have to make double efforts in solving them and both strategies are different we have to take different adopt different my years different you know actions to actually go to the solution. Thank you so much Mr. Bakas for an interesting session. Now I would like to request our well-being Professor Dr. Bahmani to decorate Ajrak into our chief guest Professor Dr. Adil.
