He said that this day is a day of celebration for students, their parents and teachers. Mehran University is my effort to run the university according to the vision of 2030, which includes sustainable development, hundred percent digitization of the university, connecting the university with the world’s alumni.

Speaking on this occasion, the Secretary of the Department of Universities and Boards, Muhammad Abbas Baloch said that this day is the result of the hard work of the teachers and the investment made by the parents, who are taking more than one thousand engineering degrees.
