\nThe delegation highlighted the lack of infrastructure at the university, including designated spaces for practical activities, display centers, and classrooms, which has hindered research and practical work for the students.
\nThey informed the Governor about a proposal sent to the Higher Education Commission, JICA, and the Museum Department, adding the HED also had not seen any progress since 2021 in this regard.
\nAdditionally, the delegation proposed establishing a Biennale 3D Installation Exhibition in Peshawar.

\nShe detailed her accolades, including being the top athlete in inter-provincial games in 2020 and 2021, the best athlete in the province in 2022, and the fastest female sprinter in the National Games 2023.
\nTamim holds national records in 100 and 200 meters and was the first female sprinter from the province to represent the country in the 2023 Asian Games.
\nShe is also set to compete in the Athletics Championship at the SAF Games in India this October.
