Fateh Muhammad Marri said that to change the lifestyle of families, young people should be given educational opportunities and scholarships could provide opportunities for continuing their education.
“The Ehsaas Scholarship is the largest scholarship program in the history of our country through which 50,000 students are meeting their educational expenses,”SAU VC said.
He said that the reputation of the university depends on the ability and hard work of the students so they should not target themselves and their institution on social media.
