Speaking at the event, Dr Marri commended the efforts of SAU faculty and alumni in extending scholarships and supporting students. ‘The contributions of Dr Kazi Suleman Memon, both during and after his tenure at SAU, have been instrumental in building scholarship and endowment funds,’ he said. He also urged sponsors to contribute further to expand financial aid programs and foster capacity-building initiatives for students.
Memon expressed his gratitude toward his alma mater and emphasized the role of merit-based scholarships in enhancing academic performance. ‘Giving back to the institution that shaped my educational and professional growth is a matter of great pride,’ he remarked.
The event was attended by prominent figures, including Dr Inayatullah Rajper, Dean of the Faculty of Crop Production; Dr Altaf Ali Siyal, Dean of the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology; Prof Dr Muhammad Ismail Kumbhar, Director University Advancement; and other academic and administrative heads.
