The Mahvash and Jahangir Siddiqui Foundation representatives met with the students on their return from the NUS Summer Program on Economic and Enterprise Development. These fifteen students were selected after extensive interview sessions from universities nationwide.
This was a two week summer program being held at the National University of Singapore (NUS) with the students from Pakistan being the 2nd largest group being represented. This year’s program hosted a large multicultural and diverse community of over 60 students from 12 countries, providing an excellent opportunity for participants to learn about Singapore: how the smallest nation in Southeast Asia has progressed into a modern city-state and has grown into a thriving centre of commerce and industry. These students also get an opportunity to learn about creative and innovative ideas to start their own business in future and be an entrepreneur.
The students were also hosted by the High Commissioner of Pakistan in Singapore and the event was attended by the leading Pakistani businessmen and professionals residing in Singapore to support the initiative undertaken by Mahvash & Jahangir Siddiqui Foundation and Sajjad Foundation. The Pakistani students excelled in their work and were highly appreciated by National University of Singapore Faculty and other participants for their valuable participation to enhance the overall learning among all.
This is the 6th year Mahvash and Jahangir Siddiqui Foundation and Sajjad Foundation (Singapore) have been running the NUS Summer program on Economic and Enterprise Development as a continuous effort in making investments into various education initiatives in Pakistan. These Foundations sponsor the cost as their endeavor to invest in education and to initiate and encourage entrepreneurship in the youth of today.
