COLLEGES: Five polytechnic colleges are being established in five districts of Northern Areas to impart job-oriented education to the youth.
The educational authorities told Dawn here on Saturday that each college would be completed at a cost of Rs120 million.
They said when PC-1 of the project had been proposed there had been only five districts in N Areas and due to this reason Astore district, carved out later, was not been included in this programme.
