QUETTA (November 12): Deputy Commissioner Quetta Meharullah Badini has directed the authorities concerned to accelerate the remaining work on a modern information technology laboratory and e-commerce center at the University of Balochistan, with the facility expected to become operational soon.
He issued the instructions while chairing a review meeting on the project, where officials briefed him on the current implementation status and informed him that construction and administrative arrangements had reached the final stage.
The proposed facility is intended to provide university students and young people with hands-on training in information technology, e-commerce and other digital competencies, enabling them to pursue employment, entrepreneurship and online business opportunities.
Badini emphasized that practical digital education was increasingly important for preparing young people for a technology-driven economy. He directed the departments concerned to complete all outstanding infrastructure and administrative tasks promptly and ensure that the center was fully prepared before its launch.
The deputy commissioner also stressed that the facility should be equipped and organized in a manner that allows students to gain meaningful practical experience rather than limiting training to theoretical instruction.
Officials informed the meeting that Badini would personally inspect the completed facilities before the formal inauguration of the center.
The initiative is expected to provide students with greater exposure to emerging digital fields and create additional avenues for skills development, employment and entrepreneurship.
