A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD) and Government College University Faisalabad to strengthen collaboration under the “Each One Teach One (EOTO)” Literacy Program.

The MoU was formally signed by Vice Chancellor Government College University Faisalabad Prof Dr Rauf-I-Azam and Mr. Ali Asghar, Director General, NCHD. The signing ceremony was also attended by Mr. Sajid Ali, Director Operations NCHD, along with his team.
