Islamabad: Founding Vice Chancellor of National Skills University Islamabad Prof. Dr Muhammad Mukhtar on Friday highlighted the pivotal role of women in shaping the nation's future.

"Daughters, like sons, are blessings from the Almighty Allah, and as a fatherly figure, I am immensely proud to see daughters from across the country thriving in technology programs at the National Skills University Islamabad. These young women are the nation's future and will play vital role to the country's much-needed technologically skilled workforce," Prof. Dr. Mukhtar said during a special ceremony of the university to bid farewell to its outgoing female students from various technology programmes.

Zara Obaid, the hostel warden, commended the university administration for its forward-thinking approach. "Having a specified, secure space solely for girls and female faculty members is a unique and empowering initiative. It reflects the administration's commitment to the well-being of its female students."
