Social Action Project

The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provide a common blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. These SDGs are also called “Agenda 2030”. We are the 'SDG SCOUTS' of the Department of Governance and Public Policy, National University of Modern Languages Islamabad, working on the SDGs under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Athar Rashid. We are a group of seven of his students (Usama Majeed, Usama Hakim, Nouman Khan, Luqman Haider, Umer Farooq, Soban Alam, Iftikhar Ahmad) and our main focus is on his SDGs 6 to 10. Our goal is to inform, educate and train people about these SDGs and their importance for our daily lives and for future generations. We believe it is everyone's responsibility to do their part to help achieve these sustainability goals in order to save this world

To raise awareness of the SDGs, We visited the Capital University of Science and Technology Islamabad (CUST) to conduct an awareness session on SDGs with formal endorsement from NUML Islamabad. The CUST administrator welcomed us and allowed us to have a session. CUST University is one of the universities in Pakistan that are actively working on his SDGs and it was a great opportunity for our team to interact with them. The administration department of CUST University provided us with a conference room that accommodates 55 students and four faculty members. Before starting the presentation, group members introduced themselves to the students and shared the intentions and goals of the session. Then we started the session. The session lasted approximately one and a half hours and included a question-and-answer session. Students asked questions and we answered them according to our knowledge and ability. We found that the students were very interested in learning more about the SDGs and their implications.

Our vision is to continue this awareness-raising process. Therefore, we have selected some as SDG ambassadors among students and teachers. They are our representatives as SDGs scouts at their respective universities. The aim is to raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and expand the work of her SDGs Scouts in their respective institutions.

As  NUML SDG`S Scout, we help students gain a deeper understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Through presentations, awareness walks, and other activities, NUML SDG`S Scouts have played a vital role in spreading awareness, educating students and influencing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals..
