It was conducted on Tuesday, August 15, 2023, from 12:00 pm- 01:30 pm and attended by the faculty and staff of SCM along with the Year 3 students.
Maj Gen Prof Dr Muhammad Aslam delivered the lecture, who has an experience of more than four decades in teaching and research and has been currently appointed as “Advisor Post Graduate Education & Research” at Shifa Tameer e Millat University.

Gen Aslam takes pride in sharing the journey through Pakistan’s creation with passion using pictures and videos, restoring the essence of independence. He explained all the details in a very energetic and motivational way and encouraged the youth to be optimistic by showing the current standing of Pakistan in the world.
