We had the honour of hosting the Minister of Federal Education and Professional Training, Honourable Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, at the National College of Arts on 14-06-2024. He was warmly received by the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Murtaza Jafri. During his visit, he appreciated the NCA's permanent art collection currently on display at the Zahoor Ul Akhlaq Gallery, explored the historic Tollinton block, and took a comprehensive tour of the campus. He also visited the under-construction Graduate block, demonstrating his keen interest in the college's facilities and infrastructure development.

Dr. Siddiqui remarked, "The National College of Arts stands as a beacon of artistic excellence and cultural heritage in our country. The dedication and creativity of the students and faculty here are truly inspiring. The preservation and promotion of our rich artistic traditions are evident in the outstanding works displayed in the Zahoor Ul Akhlaq Gallery. I am confident that NCA will continue to nurture and produce artists who will make significant contributions to the artistic landscape of Pakistan."
