The Eqbal Ahmad Centre for Public Education (EACPE) seeks to foster the use of science and reason to understand nature and society and so better enable all citizens of Pakistan to participate fully in the political, social, economic, and cultural life of their society; to exercise their democratic rights and responsibilities; to value human rights, democracy and the rule of law; to promote cultural and religious diversity; to raise awareness of global issues and the natural environment; and to advance the goals of international peace and justice.
EACPE is named to honour the life and work of distinguished Pakistani academic, activist, and public intellectual, Dr. Eqbal Ahmad.
“The EACPE record is very impressive, and hopeful — a rarity these days. About the webpage (design), I don’t have anything useful to say. Have little experience that’s relevant. To me personally, the range and choice of topics is appealing and impressive. I can’t think of any useful way to improve it.”

Not only the future of QAU but the future of this country is threatened. There is no rule of law. Pakistan is a jungle because the institutions have become the tools of tyranny in the hands of the potentate.
In society we also notice alot of greed among people for wealth and possessions. Greed is abasic character flaw, A problem like addiction. How to deal with it? we can analyse it from psychological point of view. Lack of love in childhood, death of parents or living through difficult circumstances give rise to a sense of insecurity, and fear. Parents too, often, prefer to give children material things such as toys or choclates, instead of time and affection. Later in life, people, to cope with the fear for lack, unconsciously, try to acqire and hoard, but never satisfied.
