The Bahawalpur Islamia University has decided to charge no fees and dues from the students belonging to Balochistan and the tribal belt of the country.
The decision has been taken in the line with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s policy of encouraging youth to acquire higher education.
The federal government and Islamia University Bahawalpur each will bear 50 per cent of the expenses on account of the education of these students, the PM Office said Thursday.
The decision is aimed at promoting national integration and nation-building by facilitating the youth from Balochistan and ex-FATA.
On the directive of PM, the students expelled from the university have also been restored and the notices issued to them have been cancelled. Shehbaz Sharif provided similar incentives to the students during his tenure as Punjab CM.
