Urdu Calligraphy on degrees in Karachi University might discontinue

Urdu calligraphers Amir Ilyas and Rehan Mustafa inside a busy office sit in a corner on a mattress placed over a wooden pallet at the University of Karachi’s examination department.
KU is perhaps the only university in Pakistan that has calligraphers to write degrees.
But due to the demand of the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) and the lack of competent calligraphers, the university’s examination department is planning to issue computerized degrees.
