KARACHI: A Sindhi language course and Sindh Studies Centre were formally inaugurated at the Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (Szabist) at an event organised on Thursday evening on the institute’s premises.
President of Szabist Shahnaz Wazir Ali in her speech acknowledged the services of dean of Faculty of Social Sciences Dr Riaz Shaikh for taking “this remarkable initiative” and reviving the Sindh Studies Centre through a reinvigorated programme which will begin with the study of the Sindhi language.
She highlighted the fact that Szabist has been very committed to the cause of advancing knowledge and appreciation of Sindh, its language, its culture and its history. “The idea of establishing a Sindh studies programme was initiated by the late Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed.”
