On April 17, 2012, Rana Muhammad Iqbal Khan (then Acting Governor of Punjab) attended 11th convocation of the University of Central Punjab (UCP) at Expo Centre Lahore. The then Prime Minister of Pakistan, Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani as well as the Chairman of Punjab Group of Colleges Mian Aamir Mahmood were also present at the occasion. During this public gathering, the Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani retreated that the government was utilizing all possible resources for education because a literate society guarantees the survival of the democratic system. The Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani added that education is not only a means for socio-economic development of a nation but also plays a key role in reforming the individual and collective behaviour of people.

“Italy is such a delightful place to live in if you happen to be a man. There one may enjoy that exquisite luxury of Socialism—that true Socialism which is based not on equality of income or character, but on the equality of manners. In the democracy of the caffè or the street the great question of our life has been solved, and the brotherhood of man is a reality. But it is accomplished at the expense of the sisterhood of women.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“From the point of view of literature Mr. Kipling is a genius who drops his aspirates. From the point of view of life, he is a reporter who knows vulgarity better than any one has ever known it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
