Mr. Asif Shah, Honorary Consultant of Pakistan Luban Workshop and Executive Board Member of Punjab Agricultural Research Board, recently visited Tianjin Modern Vocational Technology College (TMVTC) to enhance cooperation in agricultural machinery. The visit included participation in a seminar focusing on the integration of industry and education within the Pakistan Luban Workshop agricultural machinery training project.
In his role as honorary consultant, Asif actively advocates for the advancement of the agricultural machinery project in the vocational education sectors of both Pakistan and China. He emphasizes the seamless integration of the training project with local agricultural talent development in Pakistan.
During the seminar, Asif highlighted the training project’s significance in addressing the urgent need for technical expertise in the local agricultural mechanization development in Pakistan. He stressed the project’s pivotal role in fostering agricultural growth, earning praise from experts, scholars, and local farmers in the agriculture and education fields.
While attending the “China International Agricultural Machinery Exhibition 2023” in Wuhan, Asif engaged with multiple enterprises to explore potential collaborations in the agricultural machinery training program. This provided him with a comprehensive understanding of China’s achievements across the entire industrial chain of agricultural mechanization.
In acknowledgment of TMVTC’s contributions to agriculture in Pakistan, Asif presented a letter of appreciation to Mr. Kang Ning, Party Secretary of the college. The letter, signed by Prof. Ali, Vice Chancellor of MNS Agricultural University, the partner in the agricultural machinery training project, expressed gratitude for TMVTC’s efforts.
Looking ahead, the Pakistan Luban Workshop agricultural machinery training project plans to gradually introduce courses on the automation and intelligentization of agricultural machinery manufacturing. This initiative aims to support the transformation and upgrading of agricultural mechanization in Punjab Province, according to TMVTC reports.
