Spokesman of the Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB) has said that a few people are spreading misleading propaganda on social media contrary to the facts regarding the financial affairs of the university. In a press release he viewed that, the Islamia University of Bahawalpur is a historical institution of higher learning where administrative and financial affairs are conducted in a disciplined manner under the rules and regulations.
He said that full legal action will be taken against the perpetrators of the false fabrication and anarchy campaign in this regard on social media and those elements who are damaging the reputation of university officials by making very false accusations will be held accountable. In the past four years, the university has taken many fruitful steps to increase its financial stability and income. However, around 800 million rupees have been due from the Higher Education Commission for the last two years.
Despite the non-receipt of this pending amount, the university managed its financial affairs regularly. Among them are 6,000 male and female students with the Benazir Scholarship Scheme, who have been receiving scholarships for three years without interruption. Islamia University Bahawalpur is the biggest partner institution of Benazir Scholarships, where such a large number of students are benefiting from these scholarships.
