He stated, "Till a few years prior, we had been giving training to our understudies from grade school up to Intermediate. Afterward, we began degree schools with under-graduate courses. At introduce, we have 30 degree schools with more than 3,500 understudies. In the following stage, we need to prep them as post-graduates by setting up our own particular college. In this manner, we need to enable our understudies with advanced education so they confront any difficulties on the planet and rival some other social gatherings."
