KU VC thanks CM Sindh for disapproving unjust grant summary for
universities

The Vice Chancellor of the University of Karachi, Professor Dr Muhammad
Ajmal Khan, has welcomed Chief Minister Sindh’s decision to disapprove the
committee’s recommendations for not allocating the grant to major
universities of Sindh. He hoped that all the universities across Sindh will
be provided funds as per their requirements.

The Vice-Chancellor had expressed dissatisfaction over the absence of
grants of four major universities in the recent summary send to the Chief
Minister House. He hailed the decision of Chief Minister of Sindh Syed
Murad Ali Shah for taking immediate notice of this unjust summary and
withholding it.

It has been revealed that the grant of four major universities of Sindh was
not included in the summary. He said that funds allocation as per the needs
of the universities is a milestone for the development of universities in
Sindh.

It is worthy to mention that the issuance of grant for public universities
is directly linked with the enrolment of students around the world.
Therefore, major public sector universities are extremely thankful to the
Chief Minister of Sindh for advocating the position of major universities
and supporting the allocation of funds in line with ‘Base Allocation’.

He observed that the formulated distribution of funds will promote the
research culture in the universities. He stressed that the vacuum in
Pakistan’s education system can only be filled by encouraging the major
universities. “We will only be acknowledged by the world if we promote
research culture.”
