Usama Cheema Faisalabad Corruption in VarsitySindh University is one of the largest university of Sindh province. Recently, it has 32,000 students enrolled. But it is still facing basic facilities (e.g; potable water, lack of chairs in
classrooms, fans, hostile issues, infrastructure and WiFi connection) due to corruption. Currently, V.C and other staff is charged with corruption of 73 crore which is reason behind bad reputation of varsity. More than 60 departments are being offered by university for Graduation, Masters, M.Phil and Ph.D level. But mostly departments in University are facing shortage of classrooms and management. No proper attention is given to university for its prestige and advancement in today's 21st century of education. Consequently, Students and teachers are facing unbearable situations. Therefore there should be proper probe in varsity. Those involved in corruption should be sent behind bars and be given
vigorous punishment so as to prevent future like-minded acts.

party. For instance, a federal minister from Lahore holding two portfolios has number of such dubious appointments to his credit such as Chairperson Board of Governors of Alhamra Art Council Lahore, Chairman Central Board of Film Censors, Islamabad, Incharge and Aet Advisors at PNCA’s Shakir Ali. Museum Lahore. Appointment of the incumbent lady Director General of PNCA some months back also leaves much to be desired and is in utter denial of for what people had voted PTI in power.
