Speaking on the occasion Mr. Wasif A. Rizvi, President, Habib University commended the efforts of the benefactors and highlighting that Habib University was the only community-owned University in Pakistan said:

The secret ingredient of creating the highest quality possible university which is comparable to any in the world and then making it accessible to students, especially from an underprivileged background, are the supporters of Habib University.

He thanked Shahbaz Yasin Malik and his family for standing with Habib University from the very beginning and supporting its cause.

Mr. Rafiq M. Habib, Chancellor, Habib University, thanked the supporters of the university for their continuous support, thanking the philanthropic belief of the family he said:

Sardar Yasin Malik and his son, Shahbaz, were one of the very first community co-founders of this institution, and their support gave the Habib family confidence, faith, and courage in building this amazing University.

Responding to this dedication Mr. Shahbaz Malik said,

Habib University provides a transformative educational experience to the youth and promotes diversity by supporting students from various socioeconomic backgrounds, which is one of the biggest inspirations for our family to become ambassadors and supporters to this cause.

Pakistan is considered one of the most generous nations in the world, and while primary and secondary education do garner philanthropic support, higher education is neglected. As a result, a large portion of youth is unable to acquire quality Higher Education, primarily because of the high cost of private universities in the country. Habib University, recognizing this national dilemma, has vigorously been striving to deal with this obstacle with the help of a committed community of supporters.
