Message of the Director
Every Woman has the opportunity to earn a dignified livelihood. The establishment of this Women Development Studies Center (WDSC) is to increase opportunities for income generation among Women of Pothwar Plateau, by strengthening their skills, business capacities and market linkages, thereby facilitating them in accessing better economic opportunities and improving their quality of their life and that of their families. There is a dire need, to support the step of young university female graduates as an “entrepreneur” in to job creation and market.
Being one of the leading members of my team, I am confident that WDSC enables our students to become “entrepreneurial” in order to seek more self-creating job opportunities through the strong market linkages.
