GCU houses Dr Salam's Nobel certificate
LAHORE - The Government College University has the honor of housing the original Noble Prize Certificate of Dr. Abdus Salam, the Pakistan’s only noble laureate.
Prof. Dr. Katepalli R. Sreenivasan, the Director of Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Italy, had gifted the original Nobel Prize Certificate of Dr. Abdus Salam to his alma mater, the Government College University Lahore.
Dr. Salam had received the Nobel Prize Certificate from King Carl XVI Gustav of Swede on Dec 10, 1979. The words written on the certificate are “for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including, inter-alia, the prediction of the weak neutral current.”
The certificate has been placed in GCU’s Library Museum, where around 4,000 letters written by renowned literary figures of Urdu are kept. A large number of students daily get inspiration from the great achievement of Dr. Abdus Salam.
Dr. Abdus Salam got education from the Government College from 1942 to 1946 before getting admission in the Cambridge University. Later, after the establishment of Pakistan, Dr. Abdus Salam taught at the Government College Lahore from 1951 to 1954.
