They credited their success to the support of the university administration, their coaches, and the Vice Chancellor, Major General (Retd.) Khalil Dar. Their achievement reflects the importance of discipline, dedication, and consistent training in reaching international standards.
To strengthen the connection between academic learning and practical business opportunities, LGU organised a special guest speaker session focusing on final-year projects, entrepreneurship, and incubation. Ms. Nadia Nadeem, Manager of the Incubation Wing at the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), attended as the guest speaker. She guided students on transforming academic projects into commercially viable ideas and aligning them with industry requirements. Students from Cohort 8 and Cohort 9 participated in the session, which aimed to encourage innovation, develop entrepreneurial skills, and strengthen cooperation between academic departments and the incubation sector.
LGU also organised a road safety seminar and a motorcycle riding training workshop for women at the Jinnah Auditorium, in collaboration with the National Highways and Motorway Police and Atlas Honda. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about traffic regulations, responsible driving, and essential road safety measures.

Special attention was given to training female students to ride motorcycles confidently and safely. Following the event, a free motorcycle inspection camp was arranged in the university parking area, where essential components, including brakes, headlights, indicators, tail lights, and side mirrors, were inspected, with free replacement facilities provided for faulty parts.
The university further demonstrated its commitment to students’ professional development by organising a training session under the theme of Industrial Linkages and Outreach.
