The CM also lauded the services of the college management and expressed the wish to see similar standards of education and facilities in other colleges in the province.
The CM congratulated the Principal Cdre Mushtaq Ahmed SI (M) for receiving the Award of Excellence from the Higher Education Commission (HEC). He appreciated the cadets’ efforts for the annual parade, horse-riding, ten-pegging, gymnastics, PT show, and physical fitness.
Earlier, the principal welcomed the guests and presented the annual report of the college. He highlighted the remarkable performance of the cadets in academics, sports and co-curricular activities.
