Federal Secretary for National Heritage and Culture Asad Rahman Gillani delivered the inaugural lecture titled "Knowing Pakistan: Culture, Society and the Making of an Effective Civil Servant", providing students with insights into Pakistan's cultural and social landscape, the evolution of civil services and the qualities required to become an effective public servant.
