Speaking at a meeting of Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) chaired by Fareed Mughis Sheikh, the Vice Chancellor said that BZU was a degree awarding institute in more than 60 subjects, including Pharmacy, Medical, Engineering, Humanities, Business Administration, Law, Art, Music, Computer /IT/Telecom, Agriculture and Languages. He said that Pharmaceutical companies should patronise the pharmacy department of BZU and they must help produce better pharmacists who could manufacture quality medicines.
The VC said that they were planning to establish a medical college of world repute.
MCCI President Fareed Mughis Sheikh said that every year, thousands of graduates join the pool of the expanding workforce, but due to lack of required knowledge and skills, they find it difficult to get jobs in the market. One better way of tackling this problem is to strengthen academia-industry liaison to bridge the gap between demanded skills and supplied skills that will help in absorbing the educated youth in job market. He assured that MCCI would fully assist BZU students in improving their skills in different trades. He said other universities should also adopt this approach so that students should get better knowledge & understanding of the economy and play more effective role in the development of the country.
