GCU LAHORE VICE CHANCELLOR SLASHES HOSTELS FEE BY 35PC

 

GC University Lahore Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Muhammad Khaleeq-ur-Rahman slashed the university’s hotels fee by 35 percent to facilitate the students. The Hostels Committee of the GC University Lahore has issued the notification of revised dues for Quaid-i-Azam Hostel and Allama Iqbal Hostel. The GCU Vice Chancellor has waived off the hostels’ admission fee, miscellaneous dues and welfare funds.

 

Chairing a meeting of GCU Hostels Committee, GCU Hostels Committee Chairman Prof. Dr. Khalid Pervaiz said that it might be the first time in the history of any educational institution that the fee is reduced. He said that GCU Hostels already have very nominal fee and in wake ongoing rocketing inflation and education budget cuts, it was fairly difficult to provide students any relief, but the Vice Chancellor took a very bold step by reducing the hostels fee by 35 percent. 

 

The Vice Chancellor also directed the hostels superintendents that not even a single facility being provided to the students should be affected due to the reduction in dues. The Vice Chancellor said that “students who come from far areas to seek knowledge deserve our special attention”. He pledged that the University would also increase scholarships for the deserving students through its Endowment Fund Trust.

 

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Khaleeq-ur-Rahman also appreciated efforts of the newly-appointed Superintendent Quaid-i-Azam Hostel Abdul Waheed and Superintendent New Hostel Khadim Ali Khan for the welfare of students. The GCU students have expressed gratitude to the Vice Chancellor on reduction of hostels fee.
