A state-of-the-art greenhouse was inaugurated at Sindh Agriculture University (SAU), Tandojam, on Saturday in collaboration with the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA).
The inauguration was conducted jointly by TIKA's Head for East and South Asia, Pacific, and Latin America, Dursun Ali Yasacan, and SAU's Vice Chancellor, Prof Dr Fateh Marri, along with other dignitaries.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Marri said the facility aimed to enhance crop production and provide protection against plant diseases. He emphasized the need for innovation across all sectors in Pakistan due to the country's growing population and limited resources.
Dr Marri revealed that under an agreement between Pakistan's Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the Turkish Embassy, about 5,000 students would pursue higher education in Turkey in fields such as agriculture, technology, and health. The VC further elaborated that the newly established greenhouse at SAU, developed with TIKA's assistance, was equipped with advanced technology for seed development, plant protection, and environmental control tailored to seasonal requirements.
