LAHORE: Providing equal opportunities in higher education for minorities and special persons is the responsibility of the society and the need of the hour. The government’s allocation of quota for minorities in colleges and universities is a good sign for the development of higher education.

In her inaugural address at the conference, Dr. Kanwal Amin, Vice Chancellor, Home Economics University, said that there was a need to ensure equal opportunities in higher education.
