No university can now claim to have no funds for research. In keeping with the needs of the times, the government is now applying digital technology in the education sector as well. Everything from payroll to money allocation is now being brought online. APA has formed the Program Formulation and Accreditation Council with the aim of improving overall quality of educational environment and administrative structure. For that purpose, the government is giving importance to the implementation of the strategic plan of the universities by 2030. Our departments have to prepare accordingly.”
