from @komal_bibliomaniac - Book Review: Since the weather is beautiful today & I am missing my days as a student along with my friends, so I have decided to review this lovely book by one of the most successful vice chancellors of my alma mater; Government College University, Lahore. I did my MS from this university, have countless unforgettable memories & made some amazing friends. The book #AgainstAllOdds (Institution Building in the Real World) by #ProfessorKhalidAftab is a realistic account of how one man's futuristic approach, vision to succeed, honest commitment and dedication can truly build an institution in a way that fulfills its true purpose of creating successful, confident & innovative individuals with upright morals & positive thinking. Prof. Khalid Aftab has done so much for this institution & has the longest association by being its student, teacher, Chairperson of the Economics department, Principal of the college (before it was given a status of the university) & as its founding VC. GCU has gone through so many hardships and problems but he made sure that this institution rises from the ashes and retains its reputation of being the finest of all the other colleges/ universities. In his memoir, he has discussed everything in detail about the golden history of GCU, how it was given the degree awarding status which was rare at that time, various challenges that rise not only from the inner management but also by the government and bureaucracy due to the red tape system in Pakistan, the introduction of new programs and departments, expansion of the existing building, with a special emphasis on research, innovation, student services & generating its own resources. He described the struggles, disappointments, and efforts in a comprehensive manner. It is a very well written book, encompassing everything & you’ll have a sense of pride in being a part of this great institution.
