Globalization in the present
world has created abundant opportunity and at the same time huge competition.
And to last in the competition to grab opportunity the class room based
education is not enough. Therefore, it is necessary to open more learning
process to develop students’ mental faculty, intellectual ability and inner
qualities.
This learning process can bring
benefit when a student side by side with his academic curriculum participates
in co-curricular activities i.e. debate, seminar, symposium, workshop, cultural
program, community services program and games and sports of his own choice and
likings.
With this aim in view,
co-curricular activities of our university have been evaluated and accordingly
the Directorate of Student Affairs has been set up which plays the central role
in the development and growth of students in co-curricular activities. These
student activities are promoted through a number of student clubs. The clubs
are Debating Club, Science and Engineering Club, UIU Theater, Photography and
Journalism Club, Cultural Club, Social services Club, and Sports Club.
The clubs are having student
committees administered by the Moderator (Faculty Member).The club activities
are coordinated by the Students Directorate headed by the Director of Student
Affairs assisted by the Coordinator Student Affairs. The Directorate provides
all sorts of support services to the student clubs. The clubs are engaged in
continuous innovation and intellectual creativity.
