Nupsa Structure

Initial Structure
Two members from each Pakistani University Society, The President and one other student of the President’s choice will form the initial Council of Nupsa. Once this Council has been formed, Alumni and any other Pakistani students will get an opportunity to join the Council after a method of inclusion has been established by the Council. An Executive Committee, consisting of one president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, publicity officer, web officer and events officer will be chosen through elections from within the Council. Only Council members will be eligible to vote in this election.

The Council will be responsible for any formal changes to Nupsa and decide in what direction to take Nupsa in the future. The Council will communicate by electronic means, and will meet in person as and when appropriate and necessary and develop the Nupsa constitution as progress is made.


History

The National Union of Pakistani Students & Alumni (Nupsa) is an umbrella organisation representing the UK university students & alumni of Pakistani heritage. Nupsa was created in 2007 to provide a unifying voice for students with Pakistani heritage (whether home-grown or international) to represent their true nature of law-abiding, friendly and cultured students and citizens.

Unfortunately Pakistan has been represented in the news particularly negatively in the recent past with issues such as assassinations, military rule, natural disasters, sporting controversies, economic meltdown, terrorism, sporadic suicide bombings, and in some localities even civil war.

However, Pakistan is a country that has almost every type of natural resource imaginable: agricultural, energy and raw manufacturing resources. Pakistanis are a people that are immensely talented, determined, proud of their heritage and diversity.
Nupsa therefore aims to promote the young, educated, and gifted - the future of a country with so much potential and promise.
