Need for Quality Residential Facilities
Dr Iraqi emphasized that students come not only from Karachi but also from various parts of the country to pursue higher education. For them, quality residential facilities are nothing short of a blessing. He noted that the University of Karachi is continuously striving to provide the best academic and residential facilities to its students.
Teamwork and Timely Completion
The Vice Chancellor described the timely completion of the hostel as an exemplary result of teamwork, involving the collective efforts of relevant departments and officials. He expressed hope that the establishment of this modern hostel will provide safe, high-quality, and conducive residential facilities to female students from Karachi and across Pakistan, enabling them to focus more effectively on their academic pursuits.
Future Plans for Rehabilitation Center
Dr Iraqi also revealed that a PC-1 proposal is being prepared to convert the Aiwan-e-Liaquat old girls' hostel into a rehabilitation center. He noted that this initiative will play a vital role in promoting health and rehabilitation facilities within the university.
