Anti-corruption week: ‘Cheating root of all corruption’
“Cheating in exams is the root of all sorts of corrupt activities,” says Professor.
MINGORA:
Anti-corruption week ended on a positive note at the postgraduate college for girls in Saidu Sharif with an event hosted on Sunday.
“Cheating in exams is the root of all sorts of corrupt activities,” said Chemistry Associate Professor Nargis Ara. “Society will be lined with justice once cheating in examination halls is curbed.”
Students participated in the activities with enthusiasm as, according to them, they had the chance to show off their talents after a long time. Militancy in the region had barred them from hosting and celebrating such events, they said.
The activities highlighted corruption by making it the central theme of the declamation, drawing, and essay writing competitions. A drama directed by a student of FSc, Dua Ali, and a poem recitation by student Maryam Parwa also focused on the same subject.
“We can contribute in making a society good or bad one through our attitude,” said the principal of the college, Talat Qamar. “Gandhi was not born Mahatma, Muhammad Ali Jinnah was not Quaid-e-Azam and Muhammad Iqbal was not Allama; they earned these titles with help of their teachers.”
Lecturer Tabassum Majeed, who also organised the event, said the main objective of the event was to create awareness against corruption.
