Interaction with Students of the National College of Arts

In May 2022, students of the ‘Governance and Public Policy
(G&PP) Department’ visited the “National College of Arts”
(NCA) to sensitize students there about the water challenges
faced by Pakistan. Apart from spreading awareness, they
conducted interviews with the students. At the end, they briefed
them about different water saving techniques that can be
implemented at their homes. We will have to collaborate with
local governments and educational institutions to support
environmental clubs in schools and to encourage awareness of
the worth of water and the necessity of its protection.
