The students developed this project during their Entrepreneurship class with day/night efforts and guidance of Mr Manqoosh-ur-Rehman.
It is worth mentioning that UMT students clinched top positions in Entrepreneurial Business Plan competitions being held by different authorities in a span of just 1 year, besides clinching 8th Inter-University Cricket Championship trophy.
“I think and believe that, this is just a marvelous performance institute could have produced in such a short period of time. With this, I thank again everyone at UMT for providing the required support again, especially to the faculty for grooming the students, for staff to make the things rightly available, when and where ever it has been required. And at most, Rector, Dr. Hasan Sohaib Murad to guide and encourage the students to achieve the set goals”, said Mr Rashid Hussain.
The Rector and the UMT community congratulates you all for this achievement once again.
UMT Zindabad!!!
