In praise of VC

Published February 22, 2017

THIS is apropos the second convocation (Feb 14) at Lasbela University of Agriculture, Water and Marine Sciences. A convocation is a huge ceremony for any university at which graduates are awarded degrees by the chancellor of the university. At the Lasbela University convocation the Balochistan governor, Mohammad Khan Achakzai, was invited to award degrees to 299 graduates.

The credit goes to the Vice Chancellor, Dr Dost Mohammad Baloch, who conducted the convocation.

A hardworking, loving and devoted leader, he has developed the university infrastructure. The Balochistan governor praised the efforts of Dr Dost Mohammad.

I would request the authorities concerned to extend the tenure of Dr Dost Mohammad for another term in appreciation of his services to education in Balochistan.
