Overview
History clearly shows that demonstration of high ethical values and character makes a society distinct from others. This is the same virtue by which a society earns the leadership position in its environment. This status of a society depends on its individual members who are just, fair and honest in their dealings. History also reveals that there are examples of both types of societies; those who could not maintain high ethical standing over time, and those who managed to achieve better ethical standing from the low ranks. The factor that makes difference in this regard is the institutional effort to spread awareness and impart training. Virtual University of Pakistan being the federally chartered university having student base all over Pakistan does realize and recognize its very responsibility to produce an individual able to demonstrate high ethical values and character for the progress and prosperity of the society. Establishment of Character Building Society at VU has specifically been proposed as the part of overall strategy to execute the responsibility.
