According to the ISPR, Chief of Army Staff General Raheel Sharif during his visit to Swat inaugurated a post graduate college and a paramedical institute at Saidu Sharif.
The projects were completed by Pakistan Army Engineers as part of the post operation reconstruction phase under the UAE Pakistan Assistance Programme (UPAP).
52 education and 7 health projects have already been completed in FATA/KPK during the last few years by the Army Engineers in Malakand and Swat which has helped in bringing normalcy in the area and relief to the local population, directly benefitting approximately 5 million people.

COAS thanked the government and people of UAE for their support in this noble cause, as these projects will significantly contribute in socio-economic uplift in the areas badly affected by terrorism.
Appreciating the quality of construction work by the Army Engineers, COAS reiterated that Army would continue to play its role in rebuilding the area and contribute towards long term peace, stability and social development.
