CYBERSECURITY AWARENESS SESSIONS – (2022 – Present)
I believe that in this technological era, it is a societal imperative to educate everyone about cybersecurity, especially in schools. Recently, I started cybersecurity awareness workshops/training sessions for school teachers, parents, and students at domestic schools. The prime objective is to extend this nationwide and to various professionals including lawyers, doctors, etc. Honestly, I got an immense appreciation for this initiative and felt a great sense of accomplishment for giving back to society. This is my little contribution towards building a cyber-secure world.
Presently, I am managing a portal namely CyberWalk.Pk with a mission to educate and empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the digital landscape securely. This is another contribution toward cybersecurity awareness.

DISASTER AND HUMANITARIAN RELIEF – (October 2005)
Besides my academic, industrial, and research activities, I also run a step ahead when it comes to community service as a volunteer. I cannot forget the disastrous earthquake in Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Pakistan on October 08, 2005. I spent two months in AJK for volunteer tasks including management and distribution of supplies for the victims of the earthquake. Being blessed with a universal donor blood group, I donated several times and was always available when there was a requirement.
