The Senate Standing Committee on Federal Education and Professional Training has taken decisive actions against the Pakistan Institute of Fashion and Design (PIFD) and the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) due to alleged rule violations and financial mismanagement. The committee, chaired by Senator Bushra Anjum Butt, declared a recent PIFD meeting 'null and void,' citing 'malafide intent' and the absence of necessary presidential approval, as reported by Daily Times and Geo News. This decision follows concerns about the tenure of PIFD's vice chancellor and the release of over Rs2 billion in funds, with Butt emphasizing, 'We cannot allow public institutions to be run as private enterprises' (Business Recorder).
