President Hyderabad Chamber of Small Traders & Small Industry (HCSTSI), Muhammad Saleem Memon, has expressed sincere gratitude to Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, for taking prompt notice of the Chamber’s request regarding the proposed relocation of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (BISE) Hyderabad to Jamshoro. The Chief Minister has referred the matter to the Universities and Boards Department for further action in accordance with relevant laws, rules, and policies.
HCSTSI President stated that this response from the Chief Minister reflects the government’s serious approach toward public concerns and its commitment to making informed decisions after considering all viewpoints and facts.
He emphasised that the relocation of BISE Hyderabad would not only affect the currently enrolled students but also the entire population of the nine districts that are administratively and academically linked to the board. He added that on a daily basis, not only students but thousands of citizens also need to approach the board office to obtain degrees, certificates, mark sheets, verifications, and other academic documentation. Relocating the board will cause unnecessary travel, delays and additional financial burden for the people.
The President further stated that Hyderabad holds historic, academic, and administrative significance, and relocating the BISE office from this central location is against the public interest. He pointed out that the Board has been operating from Hyderabad since 1962 and that, as a divisional headquarters, shifting such a key institution to one of its own districts (Jamshoro) is not a logical or strategic move.
He expressed hope that the Government of Sindh, particularly the Chief Minister, would take a final decision after carefully reviewing the ground realities and the needs of the affected population, especially students and educational institutions.
In conclusion, Saleem Memon said that the people of the region have full confidence in the leadership of the Chief Minister and trust that a public-friendly, practical and balanced decision will be made that ensures ease, access and continuity for hundreds of thousands of students, parents and academic stakeholders across the nine districts served by BISE Hyderabad.
