FAISALABAD:The University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF) and Tahira Animal Welfare Foundation (TAWF) have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to work together for welfare of stray animals.
The MoU was signed by UAF Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Anas Sarwar Qureshi and the foundation chairperson Tahira Rasool at the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences.
A UAF spokesperson said that the University would engage its veterinary undergraduate students for the internship and pre-internship programme. TAWF will engage 10 internees at a time. Both parties will launch joint venture for the mass rabbis vaccination in Faisalabad. The both parties will also jointly organise seminars, workshops, symposium and other awareness activities.
Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Anas Sarwar Qureshi said that the UAF was holding the best veterinary programme across the country. He said that the UAF graduates were proving their mettle in their respective fields due to their skills, quality education and research work.
Tahira Rasool said that there were no fully equipped clinics for animals in and around 100 miles of Faisalabad.
