KARACHI: Sindh Governor Mohammed Zubair on Sunday said efforts were being made by both the public and private sectors to improve education system of the province as no country could progress without modern-day education.
He was speaking after performing the ground-breaking of the Malir University of Science and Technology (MUST) on its premises.
“The private sector is playing its part in improving the educational situation of Sindh and this university will be part of the same endeavour,” said Mr Zubair at the ceremony.
The chairman of the advisory council of the MUST, Javed Jabbar, and members Prof Tipu Sultan, Dr Shershah Syed, Dr Sirajud Daula and others were present.
The governor said he was seeing the MUST as a high-standard educational institution in the near future.
“I am saying this because this university has been founded by a family that has tremendously served the humanity in the field of medicine. This family has, once again, proved how they care for humanity by making their 16-acre farmhouse into an educational institution,” said the governor.
“The Atya and Zafar Foundation selected an underdeveloped area to give an opportunity of better education to those who have always dreamed for it, and now they are trying their level best to make it a viable university in least possible time.”
He said everyone would soon see it as a bright example of a group of people’s success in chasing their dream for the benefit of the poor.
He congratulated Dr Tipu Sultan and other founders of the university for offering the people living on the fringes of the city a great gift.
“How many people and families are there who are so generous that they turn their expensive pieces of land into something to benefit the society? This example shows our country is not short of such people. No nation, which is full of such individuals and groups, can diminish.”
He called upon the people with good fortune to take cue from the children of Atya and Zafar and pay back to the society.
Javed Jabbar, a former senator who heads the MUST’s advisory council, said the family of the university’s founders had served the people in the field of medicine.
“A hospital at Kohi Goth, the city’s almost-unknown area, established years ago by this family for poor women clearly shows their good intentions for the benefit of the society,” he said.
Prof Tipu Sultan said some 34 highly qualified doctors belonged to his family were trying their level best for promotion of literacy.
