  1. Waw, it’s really a great job. The organizers are praiseworthy for inviting one of the the leading scientists of Pakistan and a top intellectual for lecture. Our youth must avail this opportunity to give a new dimension to their thoughts.

  2. It is a very good initiative and people of such intellectual and scientific background must be invited as to enlighten the young blood about the recent trends in science and the emerging challanges.
    I really appreciate the efforts of GECA for such kind of activities.
    These kind of activities will definately bring about many positive changes in the youth and will bring them towards something innovative.
    The world of Science is growing very rapidly and many changes take place overnight and knowing about such drastic changes has grown crucial.
    The youth of Islamabad and Pindi will hopefully make an access to this wonderful opportunity for better learning and better understanding of the day to day changes and the up coming challanges.

  9. Great job!!! Congratulations!!

    Last year, when I arrived from Badakhshan to Kabul, I heard that there was the lecture program of Dr Hood Bhai arranged by one of our jamati organizaitons, peoples from the Northern Areas and Chitral in Pearl Continental Hotel, Rawalpindi. Even though, I had some works for three days more in Kabul, but I left those activities in order to reach Pakistan and avail the lecture of Dr Hood Bhai. I lucky enough that I could attend and avail his lecture. Our youth needs to take advantage from the lectures of such great scientists.

    I am grateful to the organizers, and particularly am very much indebted to Prof Dr Hood Bhai for accepting this invitation to grace us with his great knowledge.

  10. WOUNDER FULL JOB, BY THE WAY IS IT NEW ORGANIZATION, IF YES, Y NOT FOR WHOLE HUNZA FOLKS, PLEASE DON,T DIVIDED BY ON LANGUAGE BASES, RATHER IT IS VERY GOOD INITIATIVE TAKEN BY THE SEASON POLITICAL WORKER, MR FARMAN ALI AND OTHER GOJALI, DON,T BE SPCIFIC GOJAL…..

  11. Thanks Mr. Hub Ali for your nice comments and asking about the establishment of Gojal Education and Cultural Association (GECA). This organization name (GECA) is as new for me as you perceive it, but I would like to appreciate the establishment of such organizations at grass root level. I am quite sure that (GECA) could not focus any ethnic or linguistic groups because Gojal is an administrative set-up (Tehsil) and famous for its strategic geo-political position. It is also famous for its multi and cultural and linguistic masses. I would like to give suggestions that in near future, we need strong networking of such institutions at tehsil, sub-divisional, district, national and international level; but the voice should come from the grass root (village) level. I am optimistic that such institutions will increase in our strengths rather threats and weaknesses. So, let us appreciate the struggle of (GECA) for organizing a lecture program of a prominent scholar like Professor Dr. Pervez Hood Bhoy and hope for future endeavor. Well done GECA and keep it up!
    Thanks and regards

  12. These efforts for uniting people may seem the opposite. I think Sharif Bhai has made the point very clear and ofcourse the intent of this initiative is to provide a platform where we build upon the strengths of each other. Just take the example of the lecture programme. It was a GECA programme but people from Hunza, Gilgit and Chitral showed up and took benefit. So lets be postive about it and organizing with the name of an area doesnt mean exclusion of any other language or divisions.
