From the
Virtual University website:
The launch of the Virtual University is a historical milestone for Pakistan not only in the field of Information Technology (IT) but also in the sector of science and technology education. It is expected to make a great impact on the socio-economic growth of Pakistan. The idea of the Virtual University is to extend the quality education to remote areas of Pakistan where qualified faculty is not available based on the excellent existing telecommunication infrastructure. This will combine television broadcast and Internet. The feasibility study of the project was carried out two years ago for a Virtual IT University (VITU) in Pakistan. The Ministry of Science & Technology and the Minister Prof. Dr. Atta-ur-Rahman, then took up the project with keen interest for its implementation. Present Government has put it as a high priority project in its current IT action policy. Now the project is in its implementation phase. In the following, I will highlight the working of the University and the inspiration behind the project.The "virtual campuses" are organized according to Pakistani cities.
The list is a good reference tool for the (correct) spelling of Pakistani names. Interesting that all students are referenced to the father's name.
