The MoU was signed electronically by IMC CEO Ali Asghar Jamali and UNAP President Moohi Shaheen, it added.

Under the terms, UNAP will train around 50,000 students across the country, with the objective of creating awareness on the importance of environmental protection through Toyota’s world renowned 5S Philosophy.
