Dr Osman Hasan, NUST Pro-Rector Academics, and Dr Yasar Ayaz, Professor at NUST School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering, were conferred Tamgha-e-Imtiaz and Pride of Performance respectively for their invaluable services in the field of higher education and research.
On behalf of NUST community, Engr Javed Mahmood Bukhari, Rector NUST, extended heartiest felicitations to the two excelling individuals and expressed deep gratitude for their meritorious services to NUST and the nation at large. Terming them role models for current and future generations of students, academics and researchers, he highlighted that NUST’s standing predominantly draws upon the unremitting contributions of its faculty, whom he called its asset. He maintained that NUST has no dearth of academically accomplished and innovative minds, and hoped that they would continue earning laurels for Pakistan and this acclaimed seat of higher learning. Expressing their views, both the award recipients thanked the Rector and NUST family for acknowledging their achievements, which they ascribed to NUST for providing a conducive and enabling environment for research-based learning.
