PESHAWAR – After entire renovation, the Frontier Corps (FC) has formally handed over the administration of Govt. Girls Degree College, Wana to the district administration which is ready to hold classes of FA, FSc and BA.

In his speech Commissioner DIKhan Division said, ‘We are extremely thankful to the FC for revamping of the vital educational institution. It is, indeed, a leap forward towards improving education for neglected segment of society and for viable social prosperity in the region’.
