Introduction

Every individual has a part to play in the overall growth, development and progress of the society to which he belongs. It is when these individual efforts become so integrated and dependent on each other that they give birth to a broader term, community. The seminar titled ‘Community Development and Mobilization’ was all about motivating the individuals in order to achieve greater mobilization of the Pakistani community. It underlined the fact that the community developers must understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions.

ASHRAE-NEDUET Chapter

ASHRAE is a society that not only works to improve the heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating systems but also focuses on serving the humanity and promoting a sustainable world.

The idea is to instill determination in the people to work for the betterment of their society and for the world as a whole. This, of course, is impossible if people are unmotivated.

The seminar

This one-of-its-kind seminar was organized by the ASHRAE NEDUET Chapter on January 25, 2012 in NED Auditorium in collaboration with the Department of Youth Affairs, Government of Sindh and with United Nation Funds for Population Activity.

Chief Guests

Mr. Saleem Ahmed, Deputy Project Director of Youth Affairs and Mr. Ali Mustafa, Ambassador of Leader One of Young World, were the respected chief guests.
