"MCCI is very much interested to build a constructive relationship between the industry and academia. The industry-academia linkages are equally beneficial to both sides as the research by universities would help in improving quality of industrial products, services and enhancement of level of technological sophistication."
Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry's Vice President, Syed Iftikhar Ali Shah has said this. Focal person of Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, Imtiaz Waraich, Roomana Tanvir, Member National Commission for Human Resources and Khurram Javed, Secretary General attended the meeting.
Exchanging views with the focal person of university, the MCCI has chalked out a plan for effective and constant interaction between industry, academia, MCCI and university to promote entrepreneurship and encourage the passing out graduates to opt for self employment rather seeking jobs and establish small and medium enterprises. To implement this vibrant idea, it is planned to sign MoUs to institutionalise effective relationship.
Syed Iftikhar Ali Shah stated that Bahauddin Zakariya University is providing quality education and producing entrepreneurs for various segments of the economy. He appreciated Vice Chancellor Professor Dr Khawaja Alqama and his team for their priceless efforts to uplift the education in Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan. MCCI Vice President assured the best possible support and co-operation to Bahauddin Zakariya University.
