The National Commission for Human Development will set up 210 adult literacy centres in Kohat district.
Inaugurating one such centre in Nasrat Khel area, MPA Dr Iqbal Din Fana said that getting education was duty of every Muslim like fasting, offering prayers and giving Zakat.
He regretted that Muslims ruled the whole world through education for centuries but now they were completely dependent on foreign funding for educational projects.
Speaking on the occasion, the general manager of NCHD, Col (retired) Wajid Ali Khan, said that initially 210 education centres for adult people were being established in 32 union councils of the district. The number would be increased gradually, he said.
The elders of the area including Maulana Abdullah Jan, Haji Roshan Gul and Manzoor Ahmed Feroze also spoke on the occasion and encouraged people to join classes in those education centres.
