Published December 25, 2004

HYDERABAD, Dec 24: Air Chief Marshal Kaleem Saadat, the Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force, along with Professor Dr Atta-ur-Rehman, Chairman, Higher Education Commission, visited the Sargodhian Spirit Trust Public School , Rashidabad, Tando Allahyar.

The aim of the visit was to see the efforts being made by the Sargodhian Spirit Trust in collaboration with the Rashid Memorial Welfare Organization for promotion of literacy and education in an under-developed area of the country.

The Chief of the Air Staff, while complimenting the Sargodhian Spirit Trust for its mission to replicate institutions like the PAF Public School Sargodha, in other parts of the country, said: "It is through such venture that the old Sargodhians are seeking to repay in kind what the nation gave them while they were studying at the PAF Pubic School, Sargodha, as young cadets."

He said: "We chose the interior of Sindh on the understanding that many talented students here are deprived of quality education due to non-availability of good institutions.

"Now these neglected students will, Inshallah, have access to a quality institution at their doorstep, where they will be trained and groomed by an accomplished and dedicated faculty in a supportive environment."
