We are pleased to welcome **Dr. Waqas A. Khan** as **Director Punjab at CDCS**. With advanced qualifications in Comparative Education, Quality Management, Law, and Business Administration, he brings expertise in educational reform, sustainable community development, and civic responsibility. Dr. Waqas’s most notable achievement is his transformative work in protecting and reviving the **Changa Manga Forest**, once devastated by the timber mafia. He exposed environmental crimes, mobilized national attention through journalism, and built alliances with law enforcement, civil society, and government institutions. As founder and leader of the Forest Protection Committee, he spearheaded a grassroots movement that removed thousands of illegal cattle, demolished unlawful settlements, strengthened forest law enforcement, and restored nearly 95% of the forest’s green cover one of Pakistan’s greatest environmental recovery stories. His dedication to research, public engagement, and environmental awareness makes him a powerful addition to CDCS’s mission of strengthening communities and promoting responsible development across Punjab.

Welcome to a leading global scholar in our Institute.
