Karachi:As compared to public sector universities, the private sector educational institutions do not have large number of classrooms and space but they managed to run more programs. The only reason behind it is the fact that they utilize all available resources and the administration of the public sector universities should also adopt that model.
Each and every stakeholder must perform as a unit and we have to defuse the misconception that the vice chancellor of the university runs the entire affair. The fact is that the vice chancellor needs commitment and assistance from all concerned offices as he cannot do everything alone.
These views were expressed by the Vice Chancellor, University of Karachi, Professor Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi, on Monday after inaugurating the newly constructed Audio Visual Lab at the Department of Psychology.
He expressed that the development of faculties and good quality cooperative relationship among the faculty members are some important key factors which play major role in improvement of the higher educational institutions.
“The KU Administration is determined to provide best available facilities to its departments and staff and would use all available resources to fulfill their needs on priority basis so that they could produce results better than before.”
He said that studying psychology is necessary as it is one of the easiest ways to understand the human’s nature and mind. He also said that psychological problems are increasing in the society due to various factors and to handle and address them we need educated and qualified psychiatrists.
The KU VC Professor Dr Khalid Iraqi appreciated the academic and research facilities available at the department and said that enrolment is growing in the department of psychology during last few years.
Meanwhile, the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, KU, Professor Dr Nasreen Aslam Shah, expressed that teamwork is necessary to achieve the desire results. Earlier, the Chairman, Department of Psychology, Professor Dr Farah Iqbal, while shedding light on the department’s progress, shared that owing to increase in the enrolment, the department had decided to establish audio visual lab.
