GUJRAT: The University of Chenab (UChenab) campus transformed into a vibrant crucible of intellectual discourse, as the Maulana Zafar Ali Khan Character Building Society organized a highly anticipated Open Discussion on the profoundly relevant topic, “Peer Pressure and Moral Compromise.”
The event, a testament to the university’s commitment to holistic education, featured the distinguished intellectual and motivational speaker, Prof Sheikh Abdul Rashid, a renowned orator, captivated the audience with a discussion steeped in eloquent, rhythmic prose and rooted in global philosophical imperatives.
He commenced by defining the modern dilemma:
“The existential labyrinth of the contemporary youth is not merely a struggle for professional ascendancy, but a relentless, often silent, Gordian knot of ethical negotiation against the relentless, subterranean tides of conformity. We live in an age where the Siren Song of social acceptance frequently drowns out the quiet, resolute wisdom of the Inner Compass of Conscience.
To compromise morally under external duress is to surrender the sovereignty of the soul—a forfeiture far costlier than any temporary social exclusion. The true edifice of a resilient character is erected not in the moments of ease, but in the crucible of solitary resistance against the collective drift.”
Ethical Resistance as Intellectual Integrity
He emphasized that resisting adverse peer pressure is not an act of rebellion but an act of self-preservation and intellectual integrity, urging students to internalize their values to become global ethical leaders.
Visionary Leadership Shaping UChenab’s Academic Ethos
The event served to highlight the visionary efforts of UChenab’s leadership. Prof Sheikh particularly lauded Deputy Chairman Mr. Naveed Akbar, recognizing his instrumental role in steering the university’s academic framework. The vibrancy and depth of the discussion are a direct reflection of the vision of Deputy Chairman, Mr. Naveed Akbar.
His commitment ensures that the UChenab campus is not just a conveyor belt for degrees, but an institution where higher education is seamlessly aligned with practical, ethical, and societal objectives, thereby producing not just graduates, but morally fortified future leaders.
Character Building Society’s Commitment to Moral Development
Ms. Areeba Munawar, President of the Character Building Society, extended a heartfelt welcome and expressed profound gratitude to the guest speaker. “Sheikh Abdul Rashid’s profound and insightful deliberation is an invaluable asset for the moral sculpting of our students,” she stated. “His guidance on navigating the ethical ambiguities of the modern world reinforces our society’s core mission of character building.”
UChenab Reaffirms Dedication to Intellectual Growth
The proceedings concluded with Mr. Adeel Ashfaq, Assistant Director of Student Affairs, delivering the vote of thanks. He commended the speaker for transforming the Open House into a “Centre for Thought and Wisdom.” Mr. Ashfaq reiterated the university’s unwavering commitment to fostering such intellectual environments, promising to continue this vital series of open discussions to ensure the continuous guidance and ethical development of the student body.
