Danish Technical University to be set up near Ring Road

LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif has said that a suitable site has been selected on the Lahore Ring Road for setting up the most modern information technology university of Pakistan.

Addressing the inaugural ceremony of the website of a computer company CAR4U regarding traffic management, Shahbaz said that the Punjab government was setting up the Danish Technical University to provide international standard computer education to Pakistani youth.

He said the university was being established with the collaboration of Turkey’s Middle East Technical University, and its first campus would be set up at the Arfa Software Technology Park.

“This university will set new educational standards in Pakistan with regard to providing education of international level in computer and other science subjects,” he said.

“The Punjab Cabinet has already given approval in principle to the establishment of this university while the formal approval will be sought in the next cabinet meeting.”

The CM said that availability of computer technology experts would help the country improve the infrastructure of governance.

“Similarly, these experts, by designing modern software with the help of software houses, will be helpful in earning foreign exchange for the country,” he said.

Lauding the website designed by Sakib Berjess Tahir for providing guidance in traffic management, he said that Pakistani youth were talented and would put the country on the road to progress and prosperity by ridding it of problems.
