The University of Karachi Alumni Association Baltimore Washington DC had raised Rs. 3 million for the installation of the 30 KW solar system for the first block of the Arts Faculty – a project that had been initiated in October 2020.
A good initiative by the university alumni. I hope the university administration takes responsibility for maintaining the system so that it doesn’t become useless after a few years.
