I own Pakistan Seminar 18th July 2009 at Regent Plaza Hotel

Democracy and leadership are the need of time for Pakistan. In the present scenario of Pakistan where blatant violation of the constitution easily takes place by the government, human rights are violated to the fullest; peace is de-stabled by law enforcement agencies and extremist groups. It is essential that the Pakistani youth becomes aware of their basic rights as individuals and emerge as a driving force of the society. In many developing countries the youth has suddenly emerged as the driving force of the society’s economy all over the world. Even the most of mass communication campaigns have the youth as their major target groups. However, the segment of Pakistan’s population measuring to up to 55 per cent is yet to emerge as the decisionmaker. The decisionmaking power of the Pakistani youth is yet to be regonized in the economic, political and the cultural domains. They need to be informed, sensitized, involved and empowered so as to be able to make informed choices and be the changemakers. The political enfranchisement, financial power (employment) and social recognition must come with an insightful awareness for future.Democracy and Leadership segment of theconference will invite youth leaders and young voluntary activists to discuss and advocate their opinion on democracy and leadership.

The objective for arranging the I Own Pakistan seminar is just a step to motivate individuals to believe in this country and plan and take steps towards the betterment of Pakistan. It is an initiative to bring forward the patriotic spirit amongst Pakistanis. It is the time when every Pakistani needs to take out a minute and think what they as individuals can do to help the country.  It’ll act as a resource of information and will prove to be an inspiration for the young participants.
