Science society was one of the most active societies of the college. Not only did it arrange lectures, discussions and seminars in which the staff and students participated, it invited experts from all over the country. I have seen and heard Russian and American scientists delivering lectures on their respective subjects under auspices of the Science society. Prof. Mian Ata-ur-Rehman, Prof. Habibullah Khan, Dr. S. M. Shahid and Dr. Naseer Ahmad Khan were among the most enthusiastic supervisors of the science society. In addition to its activities within the college premises, the science society arranged study tours of the industrial areas of the country. It used to take students round Mines and factories to enable them have a more close look at how science was in action.
Among other societies that were active in its field was the Urdu society, Majlis-e-Adab asit was commonly known. Professor Sheikh Mahboob Alam Khalik created great traditions of the Urdu society, which were later maintained by Prof. Nasir Ahmad Parwazi. It hosted annual Urdu Conferences, in which the well known Urdu-writers and poets took part. Dr. Wazir Agha, a rich landlord and a patron of poetry and poets was one of the regulars guests of the society
The college history society once arranged an oversees study tour. My friend Haji (the late Chaudhry Bashir Ahmad of Sheikhupura) used to describe in detail their visit to Irak and other countries of the middle east.
