Re: [pakgrid] $1,044,352,779

I think the main point to discuss will the things that stop the students to go back to their universities after having their degrees. In my opinion in our countries the problem is not with the facilities that are provided to the students, the problem is with the people that are responsible for those facilities. There are always facilities for the students (keeping in mind that we are talking pakistan, so there might be less relative to developed countries), but the relation between the students and the university is over as soon as the student gets his degree.

We should figure out the reasons behind that, and then comes the funding thing and i am sure that every university will get considerable amount of funding if it addresses this issue.

I study in UET and all the positive points you listed of foreign universities we have here in UET and other quality Government Engineering Universities: health services, dining, sports, bookstore, sports, transportation, tradition, etc.

But still the most significant thing missing is Academic Reputation, High H-Index Faculty with strong research publications, Collaboration with industry and academia. Thats why we prefer foreign universities.

I had a very similar discussion earlier today. US universities give their students a lot more (of course they also charge a lot more) than most Pakistani universities; health services, dining, sports, bookstore, sports, transportation, tradition, etc. This leads to a deeper sense of belonging in the alumni.

Also, Western societies do not believe in pampering their children as much as us. Most of us, if we have money to give, will keep it safe for the progeny, rather than giving it for a charitable cause.

This is the amount of money my alma mater Syracuse University collected in its campaign targeting the alumni and their employers.

I wonder if any Pakistani University is thinking about or planning of contacting the alumni and requesting them for donations.
