Vote of Thanks by Director, Research and Publications

Honorable Chancellor, Vice-chancellors, Deputy Vice-Chancellors, distinguished guests, keynote speakers, honorable faculty members and staff, researchers, paper presenters, audience, volunteers, and my beloved students, Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

I am glad to be a part of this memorable event at IOU. We, the Directorate of Research and Publications initiated the conference but you are the people who actualize this. Congratulations!

I appreciate your tremendous efforts and cohorts to make the event successful. Your team spirit is truly remarkable. I am thankful to the organizing committee and sub-committees, all the participants without whose contributions this event was not thinkable, keynote speakers for enlighten us, and all the guests for attending this conference to make it a success. 

I, especially, thank the Chief Guest for glorifying today’s conference by attending and delivering valuable speech. I also highly appreciate the outside staff and volunteers for their support and cooperation in making the conference a reality, Alhamdulillah.

I cannot but thank the IOU Top management for all sorts of supports including finance and moral support to this conference, all the academic departments and the directorates for their relentless support at every step of this conference.

Humans are not beyond shortcomings. We all have many limitations. So, I beg pardon for all our mistakes and shortcomings that make you unhappy.

May Allah bless you all. Once again, thank you very much for your active participation in this conference. Jazak Allahu Khair.
