Women Institute of Learning and Rehabilitation Sciences (WIL/ WIRS):

The Women Institute of Learning was established in August 2005 with the purpose of promoting professional education in the country, especially for the female population.
A very large number of families in our society are reluctant to send their daughters to co-education institutions, resultantly a large number of female population is denied professional education.
Our first project in the shape of Women Medical College has received an overwhelming response in Pakistan and abroad.

Our second project by the name of Women Institute of Learning is in the field of Pharmacy, Psychology and Education departments and has received great response throughout the country.
