MANDI BAHAUDDIN: Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art teaching hospital at Rasul and said admissions to Rasul Medical College would commence from January 2027.

Addressing a laptop and Honhaar Scholarship distribution ceremony at the University of Rasul, the chief minister congratulated students and their parents, saying the sacrifices of parents had enabled their children to pursue higher education. On her request, participants stood up to pay tribute to parents.

Maryam said the University of Rasul had been under construction for around two decades and only 149 students were enrolled when she took charge, while the number had now risen to around 3,000.
She said billions of rupees had been invested in establishing new departments of social sciences, life sciences and business management so students would not have to travel to other cities for higher education.
