After 12 years of extensive experience in the field of water, sanitation and hygiene, IRSP knows how crucial and important the
sector is. As IRSP work demonstrates, poor municipal services can badly damage the health of poor communities living in the
rural and remote areas of Pakistan.
Every success buys a ticket to a more difficult journey. Looking back to the previous years makes me a proud man. The outreach,
staff capacities and donors trust clearly indicates that IRSP is moving in the right direction.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Furthermore, the senior leadership of HGISF had had several meetings with leadership of Jamati Institutions
and Senior Government officials, including Chief Scatery to the Government of Sindh to pave the way for
youth-led community development activities and programs in Karachi. Thus created sound forward linkages
at the appropriate level to promote the organizational goals at a wider level. He further stated that during
the period under review, HGISF have developed a project proposal to generate resources for “HGISF
Scholarship Program”. Explaining the potential of indigenous philanthropy SVC urged potential donors to
come forward to sponsor any one or all the given components of the Scholarship program to encourage
access to quality education besides publicly acknowledging and rewarding best performing students of
Hunza, Gilgit region acquiring education in Hunza, Gilgit and Karachi region of Pakistan. For this purpose
HGISF have set the following four goals for this flagship program.
1. To acknowledge and reward primary to Masters level students from GHISF member organization
(i.e. VOs/SWOs) who have scored “A+” and “A” grades during the academic year 2013/2014 in
Karachi Pakistan.
2. Acknowledge and reward primarily to Masters level students who have scored top three
positions in their respective villages during the academic year 2013/2014 in HGISF member villages

respective village level. HGISF will provide technical support and guidance to ensure the same besides
mobilizing required resources.
Furthermore, during the period under review HGISF represented Hunza Gilgit at Talk shows and cultural
programs at ARY, Geo, SAMA and SACH TV channels to promote our culture and the role of youth-led civil
society institutions in community development.Thus, extended the outreach of HGISF in terms of audience.

activities at a wider level. Therefore, it was unanimously decided and agreed upon to launch a combine
official website of HGISF with auxiliary information about its federating units and their office bearers,
projects, programs and activities. For this purpose all member organizations have decided and agreed upon

Challenges/Issues:
1. High expectations of members and federating units regarding service delivery and outreach.
2. Unwated/unexplained delays from Council regarding completion of Cabinet nomination/endorsement
process.
