Eleven -member students' delegation of Sargodha University has left China for taking part in a cultural and academic exchange program at the Civil Aviation University of China (CAUC). The delegation was led by Prof. Dr. Ahmad Raza Bilal, Director of the Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) of the University. It includes participants from multiple academic disciplines, reflecting the university’s emphasis on broad-based academic development, Gwadar Pro reported.

During their stay at CAUC, the students will engage in technology-focused workshops, mentorship sessions, industrial visits and cultural exchange activities. The program will conclude with a formal graduation ceremony organized by CAUC to recognize the achievements of the University of Sargodha students. The delegation also includes three female members, highlighting the university’s commitment to gender inclusion in international academic programs.

The exchange builds on earlier agreements reached in October 2024, when Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Qaisar Abbas had a visit to China aimed at expanding academic collaboration and technological innovation. During that visit, the University of Sargodha signed cooperation agreements with several Chinese institutions, including CAUC, to initiate faculty and student exchanges.
