PESHAWAR
\nKhyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Muhammad Sohail Afridi has reaffirmed the provincial government\u2019s commitment to ensuring that no child in the province abandons their education due to financial difficulties. He said the government stands firmly with students and will continue to support them in every possible way.
\nThe Chief Minister expressed these views during his visit to the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIK), Swabi, on Wednesday, where he formally inaugurated newly constructed faculty apartments. On the occasion, he also announced 20 special scholarships for students from the merged districts currently enrolled at the institute.
\nAddressing students and faculty, the Chief Minister urged youth to come forward with innovative ideas, assuring them of full government support for initiatives that could contribute to the progress of the province and the country. He said that strong institutions are the foundation of a strong state, and strengthening them must remain a top priority.
\nWelcoming students from across the country studying at GIK, he said they should consider the institute their home. He expressed satisfaction that GIK has become a symbol of national unity, with admissions based strictly on merit and transparency, providing equal opportunities to both male and female students. He particularly appreciated the fact that more than 500 female students are currently enrolled in engineering programs, calling it a matter of pride for both the institute and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\nHighlighting the global achievements of GIK graduates, Afridi said their success brings honour to both the institute and Pakistan. He advised students to remain focused, noting that achieving any goal requires intention, direction, and effort. When individuals and institutions work with sincerity and clarity of purpose, he remarked, positive results naturally follow.
\nThe Chief Minister also praised the Board of Governors, administration, and faculty for maintaining GIK\u2019s high standards and assured them of the provincial government\u2019s full support in their ongoing efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
