PMU director, Dullah Muluk said it was PMU’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, which was organised by the Mathematics, Science and Computer Department (JMSK), where the staff jointly contributed to the cause.
He added the primary objective of the programme was to enhance friendship and rapport with the local community and those in the public sector.
