He described the college as one of the oldest educational institutions in the entire province, calling it a pride of the past, an identity of the present, and a guide toward a brighter future.

He vowed that the government would restore the degree college to the path of academic and technical development.

He said the government is committed to equipping the historic institution with modern facilities. He added that the vision is to align the college with current educational and industrial standards and introduce skill-based training.
