Data centre opens at University of Turbat

Governor calls for financial self-sufficiency in universities

QUETTA:

Balochistan Governor Malik Abdul Wali Khan Kakar on Thursday said that measures would be taken to improve quality of education in higher education institutions and promote research activities.

He said that if we do not pay serious attention to all the public sector universities in Balochistan to generate their own resources and make them financially self-sufficient, it would be difficult to run all the higher education institutions of the province in the coming years. We cannot move forward without creating harmony with modern science and technology, he added.

He expressed these views while addressing the academic staff, presiding over the review meeting and interacting with the teachers and students on the occasion of his visit to the University of Turbat (UoT).

Vice Chancellor UoT Professor Dr Jan Muhammad, Commissioner Makran Division Agha Faisal, Principal Secretary to Governor Balochistan Abdul Nasir Dotani, senior teachers and administrative officers of the university were also present on this occasion.

Kakar also inaugurated the first phase of the data center and 1,000 kilowatt solar project at the university.

He urged the male and female students of the UoT to use all their hidden abilities to acquire modern education and bring positive change in society.

He said that we needed to create an environment in our educational institutions where the trends of innovation and self-reliance could be made stable to achieve this goal, there was an urgent need to create familiarity with modern technology and make full use of the available resources.
