KARACHI:Vice Chancellor University of Karachi Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi and the President, Human Rights Youth (Welfare) Organization (HRYO) Tanveer Kaim Qani signed a memorandum of understanding here on Tuesday to empower students by providing support to them in the fields of research, development, education, training, and dissemination of knowledge.
According to the MoU, HRYO would engage the business community to come forward and introduce the research activities to the local and international markets.
Tanveer Kaim Qani mentioned the MoU aimed to bridge the gap between academia and industries so that students could present their creative and innovative ideas and products to industrialists and manufacturers easily.
Vice President of HRYO, Hamza Zulfiqar said that youth were unable to flourish their ideas and products in the markets as the business community did not take the responsibility to own those ideas and products and the HRYO would work on that line so that students could be able to get a solid platform to present research products to the local and international market.
The KU VC said that our industries did not want to collaborate with academia and they wanted an easy salutation rather than focusing on durable answers to their problems.
He mentioned that our neighboring countries had shown faith in youngsters and used their potential for their prosperity.
