The chancellor of the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET), Jawaid Anwar, on Tuesday inaugurated the Z A Nizami Block at the university campus.

“To enhance the quality of research and to develop a research-friendly environment at the campus, the Office of the Research, Innovation and Commercialisation has been formed to hunt for new ideas.”
