Celebrate Mother's Day 2025 with PGC

Every year, we celebrate a special day to express our heartiest gratitude to the most amazing personality of our lives. Yes, I am talking about our mothers! We call this special day Mother’s Day. We also celebrate Mother’s Day this year, like we celebrate it every year. On Mother’s Day 2025, we should plan something extraordinary to make our mothers happy and express our love, respect, and affection for them.

In this blog, we will talk about what Mother’s Day is and why we celebrate it. Moreover, we will share sweet and simple ideas to celebrate Mother’s Day 2025.

Let’s dive in!

What is Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is a designated celebration worldwide to thank our mothers. This day is mostly celebrated on the second Sunday of May every year in many countries, including Pakistan. Mother’s Day 2025 is going to be celebrated this year on Sunday, May 11. This day reminds us to show our love and care towards our mothers.

The purpose behind the celebration of this day is to pay gratitude for the hard work and sacrifices made by our mothers every day. On this day, we need to appreciate our mothers for their immense love and uncountable efforts made for us. They care for us deeply and always look after our needs with love.

Our mothers also make food to feed us, play with us, and help us with school and study tasks. Sometimes we get so busy in our lives that we forget completely to thank them. So, today is the day to remember your mother’s struggles, which she made to make you a better person on earth.

Why Do We Celebrate Mother’s Day?

Mothers have a very big and prominent role in our lives. They are our best friends, our first teachers, and our supreme supporters. No matter how old mothers get, they never stop loving their children.

Celebrating Mother’s Day 2025 is a very small gesture to give back to our mothers’ love. Celebrating it does not mean giving expensive gifts to your mothers. Instead, a simple act of kindness or an honest word is sufficient to show your appreciation. This special day reminds us to:

Thank your mother for all she does.

Do something unique to show your appreciation.

Share memorable moments and enjoy time spent with her.

Make her smile and create memories she will treasure.

Ideas for Students regarding Mother’s Day Celebrations

It is not necessary to buy luxurious or costly things for your mothers on this auspicious day to make them happy. Here are some sweet and simple ideas to celebrate Mother’s Day 2025

Write a Letter or Card

To thank your mother, make a sweet card with colourful paper and a pencil. Decorate it with colourful things to make it attractive. Also, write beautiful, loving Mother’s Day messages inside the card to make your mother feel special. The purpose is to show your mothers your love towards her and how much she is special to you.

Cook for your Mother

It will be a very nice gesture to cook for your mother. It will be a great surprise for her when she wakes up in the morning and you serve her breakfast. You can also make lunch or dinner for her. Baking a cake for her is also a good idea. This gesture shows your care and love for her. The smile came to her face with your little surprise is the most precious thing in this world.

Help your Mother with Housework

The next idea to please your mother is to help her with the house chores. Make her sit, give her rest for the whole day and help her with her task. Wash the dishes and clothes for her. Clean the house and organise the room.

Spend Quality Time Together

Also, you can cut a cake and share happiness with all the people at home. Try to keep a distance from the phone and spend all your time with your mother. Make a loving and constructive conversation with your mother, which makes your bond stronger.

You can also entertain her by watching a movie or any TV show she likes the most. Go for a long drive or walk to show her that she is the only person who comes into your life first.

A PGC Message on this Mother’s Day 2025

Punjab Group of Colleges believes in strong family values and traditions. Mothers are considered our first educators. She is the first person in our lives because she brings us to life. Mothers teach us the difference between right and wrong deeds. Our mothers also give us the confidence to believe in ourselves and chase our dreams.

Why is Labour Day Celebrated?

Posted on April 30, 2025April 30, 2025 by Abiha-Yasir

Countries worldwide celebrate a special day called Labour Day every year on the 1st of May. But do you know what the real context behind the celebration of Labour Day is?

You will learn about the information, history and essence of Labour Day in this blog. Also, about why 1st May is important for all of us, even students and how we can celebrate it.

Let’s begin.

Labour Day 2025

Labour Day, also called International Workers’ Day or May Day, by people. On 1st May, the public holiday is observed in Pakistan to honour all workers out there. This day makes us recognise the value of the hard work of men and women, who are working to make their own and others’ lives better every day. May Day reminds us that every job is important, whether it is a teacher, a doctor, an engineer, a farmer, or a cleaner etc.

May Day 2025 will be observed on 1st May this year. People worldwide, including Pakistan, will celebrate this important holiday. On this public holiday, workers from offices, banks, and schools take a break and spend some quality time with their families.

May Day provides us a chance to learn about the efforts of workers. It also provides us with an opportunity to reflect on our treatment of the workers today. This day gives us a break to think about the dignity, fairness and importance of hard work.

We believe that students at Punjab Group of Colleges should know the actual meaning of 1st May. The true essence of 1st May helps us grow into generous and humble citizens.

The History of Labour Day

Labour Day began in the United States of America in the 19th century. At that specific time, factory workers had to work for very long hours per day, even on weekends. Also, these workers didn’t get sufficient wages without breaks. Moreover, workers, along with their families, had to work in insecure environments.

Because of these unfair working conditions, workers in Chicago started a big protest in 1886. Haymarket Affair was another name for this protest. The protestors’ demand was to reduce working hours to 8 hours only. They want the remaining 8 hours to relax and the other 8 hours to spend quality time with family.

The protest turned violent as some people got hurt. Also, a few workers even lost their lives during the protest. Those who died are remembered as heroes because they stood up for fairness and workers’ rights. This event is marked as a historic turning point for workers’ rights worldwide.

Many countries, including Pakistan, began to celebrate May 1st to honour the bravery of workers who lost their lives while standing for the rights of workers. In 1972, after the successful implementation of Pakistan’s first Labour Policy, May Day was officially recognised in Pakistan. So, this day acknowledges workers and continues fighting for their rights.

The Essence of Labour Day

The true spirit of Labour Day is about giving respect, treating others with equality, and living with unity. It is about ensuring not to treat anyone unfairly because of their job. It reminds us that every worker matters, and we build a better world together. This day recall for better facilities for workers. May Day is also a call for peace and collaboration because society becomes happier and more successful when workers are treated equally.

Why is Labour Day Important?

Admiration for workers

Every job, whether it is big or small, inside the home or outside the home, deserves proper respect. Our world cannot work properly without workers. So, we get a chance to thank the working people on this 1st May, who work daily to make our lives improve and better.

Reminds workers of their rights

May Day helps us remind everybody that workers’ rights must be protected and improved. They should have 8-hour workdays and get weekly holidays. Moreover, the working environment should be safe. Also, workers should be provided with a minimum wage for their hard work.

Give value to hard work

To give importance to honest work of people, Labour Day is best realisation factor. We learn not to undervalue any work. The efforts are equally valuable to someone who is cleaning the street or someone who is running a business. All the working people are putting their effort according to their skills and capacities.

Celebrating Labour Day in Pakistan

In Pakistan, May Day is a national holiday. This day has been marked through seminars, rallies, and various programs intended to promote workers’ rights and address the challenges they are facing.

Various events and parades are organised by Labour unions all over Pakistan, where speeches are delivered by their leaders about Labour Day, its history and its prominence. Street processions are arranged by the workers and unions, which portray unity with workers around the world. Newspapers, radio and TV channels broadcast special programs on May Day.

How do Students Celebrate Labour Day?

Students can also play an important role in the May Day 2025 celebration. Here are some easy things you can do to celebrate International Workers’ Day:

Pay Gratitude

Say kind words to your school’s sweepers, drivers, security guards, and helpers. Your one kind word means a lot for them.

Learn About Labour Movements

Try to gather information regarding Labour Day and its history. You can also read stories or watch short documentaries about it. Also, many child-friendly videos are presented online that describe this in simple ways.

Share a Drawing or Poem

You can make a card, write a poem, or draw a picture and give it to someone in your community. Also, you can post it on social media with your parents’ help.

Talk to Your Family

Talk to your parents and ask about their jobs and what they do. Appreciate your parents’ effort for your happiness and comfort.

A Message from Punjab Group of Colleges

We believe that students at Punjab Group of Colleges are the leaders, doctors, engineers, and teachers of tomorrow. You become more caring and gentler by learning about Labour Day. Also, we encourage every student at our college to treat workers with appropriate respect and always give true respect to all jobs. Let us all make this day meaningful by spreading sympathy.

For more information visit Punjab Group of Colleges.

Final Thoughts

Labour Day is not just a purposeless holiday; it is actually a reminder that every worker needs to be treated fairly, safely, and respectfully. Let’s pay tribute to the workers who built the world we live in. Further, we should make a promise to become better people who care for others.

On this May Day, take a moment to thank workers, learn something meaningful, and spread kindness with everyone. That’s a great way to celebrate.

Lahore SMOG: 2024 with the Worst Air Quality

Posted on October 23, 2024October 30, 2024 by Shaina Mansuri

SMOG 2024 in Lahore

Pakistan and its upper plain areas are facing the worst case of air pollution for the last eight years. Since 2016, every October has come with a coolness in air alongside the black blanket of pollution. With all this pollution, Lahore- The City of Gardens crowned as the most polluted city in the World in 2024! Let’s explore what Lahore is facing in 2024 with the worst air quality in October 2024.

The Fifth Season of South Asia

Across the Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP), every year there comes a season of air pollution with high pollutants, low visibility, and severe socio-economic disruptions. The cities mostly effected are the highly populated areas of Pakistan and India. Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Amritsar, and Delhi are the crucial ones to mention.

Research shows that there has been an insane increase in the primary sources of air pollution in these areas in the previous ten years. The major reasons are cropping residue burning and an increase in the usage of motor vehicles.

Top Causes of Air Pollution and SMOG

In addition to the burning of crop residues, the primary responsibility of severe air pollution lies upon the shoulders of transportation. Contributing to the nuisance of killer air quality lowing down to insane smog around 39% in 2022, and also reported at 83.15% in 2023. Other major factors include the

Emissions from industry,
Energy sector,
Agriculture sector,
Non-combustion industrial processes.
Commercial
Domestic
Waste procedures

All these sectors produce fossil fuels and harmful elements like vehicular emissions, and industrial waste. Furthermore, air pollution multiplies and stays strong because of the lack of wind and rain which could clean the atmosphere naturally to make it livelier and more breathable.

What 2024 Brings to the Table for SMOG?

In 2024, the air quality index (AQI) is already unhealthy for the population at large. Following the trend, the issue is getting worse with every passing day. In October 2024, the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere was around 207.1 µg/m³ which is 41.4 times higher than the annual air quality guideline set up by the World Health Organisation (WHO). This situation makes the atmosphere very unhealthy for the public at large to breathe. Ultimately, the continuation of this pollution crisis can result in serious diseases like stroke, heart problems, and Lung cancer, respiratory issues of acute and chronic nature including Asthma.

It is important to know that SMOG is not only a regional problem, but also a global issue. However, the severity of conditions does vary from region to region. For instance, there are more than 7 million deaths worldwide due to exposure to outdoor and indoor pollution. Furthermore, unfortunately, the Southeast Asia region tops the list with over 2 million bodies.

Is There Any Permanent Solution Present?

It is essential to combat the death blanket to safeguard current and future populations at all costs. For this, it is the need of hour, to come forward on both micro and macro levels to fight back to eliminate this nuisance permanently.

Government of Punjab is taking the following initiatives to handle smog and air pollution effectively in 2024.

SMOG Free Punjab Initiative

By taking many steps, this flagship program seeks to address pollution at its source:

Reduction of industrial smog

Inspection of fuel quality

Banning of tire burning

Installation of smog reducing machinery

Tree plantation drives

Promotion of electric vehicles

Closure of environment polluting industries

Other noteworthy initiatives are Standing Committee of the Cabinet on SMOG Mitigation, Blue Skies (Greener Environment), overall, the government wants to work for better and greener environment in the following ways.

The major sectors under focus include agriculture, industry, energy, households, transport, environment, and public health.

Changes in Agriculture Sector

– Focus on innovative solutions for crop residue management.

– Implement campaigns to control stubble burning.

– Raise awareness at the grassroot level to promote sustainable practices.
