The feasibility of this city is under progress and soon the project would be executed.
Under its recruitment program, the Sindh government has sent to IBA over 1200 government servants for training. This, as the minister says is one of the programs that his ministry has initiated to improve the capacity of its officers.
Asad Rehman, the Chief Organizer HUPEC 2018 said events like HUPEC were meant to aware students of what was going on in the industry because they studied in the universities but never knew about practices in the industry. It is essential to guide them into practical engineering in the industrial atmosphere. Usually, graduates do not know about the industry thus these events update them of requirements of the industry. ‘It is necessary to improve industry-academia linkage so that the fresh graduates do not confront problem while entering the industry.” – By Abbas Mansoor
