ISLAMABAD-National University of Science and Technology (NUST) is successfully carrying forward its flood relief campaign in the flood hit areas.
The university has urged the citizens to provide the specific item donations for brothers and sisters of our country who have lost their homes and belongings in torrential rains and floods. The items which are direly needed included quilts (preferably with cover), blankets, pillows, shawls and dry ration.  The contributions can be delivered at relief camps established at Gate # 1 and 2 of NUST Campus, Sector H-12, Islamabad. It is pertinent to mention here that the faculty and students of NUST have also introduced an idea of “Own a Village” for revival of livelihood and shelter for the flood-hit people. 
NUST “Own a Village” concept has to cater for the revival of livelihood, shelter and community services relying on a need-based assessment through engaging the community and local government.
