Emphasizing the pivotal role of SAU's 10,000 students, Dr. Mari referenced recent collaborations with outstanding farmers during the Mango Festival in Mirpurkhas.

The proposed establishment of an agricultural foundation by SAU's Vice Chancellor, Dr. Fateh Muhammad Mari, signifies a significant step towards enhancing agricultural development in the region. With a focus on leveraging the expertise of retired professionals and engaging students in practical initiatives, this initiative holds promise for fostering sustainable agricultural practices and benefiting farmers across Sindh and beyond.
