Dr Mansoor appreciated the efforts and contributions of Plan International, Pakistan and congratulated Dr Zia and her team and students. She said the initiative would be quite fruitful for the development of youth.
“Our vision for 2020 is to produce moderate and enlightened graduates who would contribute to national development and this fits in well with the vision of Plan International, Pakistan,” Dr Mansoor said.
