PhD law seats

Published October 21, 2016

IT is unbelievable but it is a fact that for the population of more than 20 million there are only five seats for PhD in law at Karachi University. We are living in the modern world where education and technology are basic needs but we are lagging far behind in these fields.

Higher education and research bring prosperity.

I request the prime minister, governor and chief minister to increase PhD (law) seats to at least 40 in the interest of justice.
