The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation handed over 10 student point buses to the University of Karachi on Saturday. The KMC Administrator Dr Syed Saif-ur-Rehman visited the campus and met the KU Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi and others to deliver the point buses to the varsity’s transport department.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi and the KMC Administrator Dr Syed Saif-ur-Rehman signed the memorandum of understanding which was held at the VC Secretariat. On this occasion, Dr Saif-ur-Rehman informed the participants that the KMC has handed over four point buses to the University of Karachi in the recent past and given six more point buses to the campus on Saturday.
“We are signing the MoU today, but we had already started the process a few weeks back to provide the fleet of buses to the KU. The KMC will also take part in the road carpeting, plantation drives, maintenance of KU’s infrastructure, and other projects within the premises of the university.”
The KMC Administrator Dr Syed Saif-ur-Rehman said that the varsities have a major role to play in the development of the cities and societies and that is why the KMC is trying to facilitate the University of Karachi as it is doing an extraordinary job despite having limited resources available.
He mentioned that professors are considered as the policymakers around the world and our teaching faculty could also do the same job if they have provided with the basic facilities and confidence that they could design policies for the betterment of our societies.
Meanwhile, the KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi said that it was good to see that our alumnus has come back to help his alma mater and doing wonderful work for the betterment of the campus. He informed the audience that Dr Saif-ur-Rehman has initiated a joint plantation drive on the campus and helped the university in repairing several roads in the recent past.
