Chaudhry Muhammad SarwarGovernor Punjab/Chancellor

My dear students

I am fully convinced that you are the future architects of prosperous Pakistan. If you want a thriving Pakistan then it has to be a knowledge based Pakistan. You therefore enter the University to seek knowledge and leave to disseminate knowledge. In today's world high

stexpectations and demands are placed on the centres of higher education. The 21 century calls for new approaches to learning, innovative thinking, the acquisition of specific knowledge not just about the discipline that they belong to but also about the environment, health and citizenship, and the promotion of ethical values and attitudes. In our rapidly changing and interdependent world, the universities not only have to ensure that students acquire solid skills in basic subjects, but also that they become responsible local and global citizens, at ease with new technologies and able to make informed decisions about health, the environment and other local and global challenges. Going glocal is the recipe to international peace, harmony and prosperity. Furthermore, remember one thing; education and all its forms crown those who cultureth her. Character building is an important aspect of education. It is our social capital. Strength of character includes faith, discipline, tolerance, patience, sharing, caring and compassion. Development of these qualities in our institutions will help us reduce trust deficit and intolerance which exist in our society today.

Let us therefore, work together to build knowledge based prosperous Pakistan.

The City MultanMultan, the city of saints, has been a center of learning, culture and civilization for centuries . It is one of the oldest living cities of the world. Its original name as described by Hiuen Tsang, a Chinese traveller, who visited the city in October 641 A.D., was Mu-lo-san-pu-lu, which is believed to be a translation of Mulasthana-Pura. Al-Beruni, who came to South Asia in 1015 A.D. alongwith his Master Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, writes about the town as Mulatana. He visited Multan the same year and recorded that Multan was originally called Kasyapapura, then Hansapura, then Bhagapura, then Sambapura and then Mulasthana. Sir Gen. Alexander Cunningham, after conducting excavations in the old fort in 1853 A.D. and 1864 A.D., further adds to these names those of Prahladapura and Adysthana. The first recorded event in the history is the invasion of Alexander the Great in February 325 B.C.

Several other important historians visited Multan including Masudi (915 A.D.), Istakhri (951 A.D.) and Ibn Batuta (1334 A.D.) and they all wrote about the social, cultural and educational activities in Multan. Multans importance has always been acknowledged and it has always maintained its distinguished and honorable position among the cities of this region.

The city (740 ft. above sea level) is located almost in the center of Pakistan. It is at a distance of approximately 950 km from Karachi and 630 km from Islamabad, right on the main highway and about six kilometers from the mighty Chenab, in a bend created by the five confluent rivers. The vast plain of Multan Division is dissected by rivers, canals and narrow water channels, forming an ideal agricultural base for the economic development of the region.

The UniversityMultan has always remained a centre of excellence in education. Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya (1172 - 1262 A.D.), a Muslim religious scholar and saint, established a school of higher learning in theology in Multan; where scholars from all over the world came for studies and research. Multan has maintained its central position and centuries old cultural heritage and therefore suited ideally to become a center of learning. Thus the University of Multan was established in 1975 by an Act of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. To pay homage to the Great Saint, the name was changed from University of Multan to Bahauddin Zakariya University in 1979.

The University is located at a distance of 10 km from the city center. The main Campus is spread over 960 acres of land. The University has a fleet of 28 buses and 3 coaches which provides transport facilities to students and staff. The University started functioning in 1975 in rented buildings with 8 departments. Presently, it has more than 30 departments/institutes/colleges. Out of its 523 faculty members, 175 hold doctoral degrees and among its around 14,000 students, half are female.

The University offers a wide range of programs: M.A., M.Sc., MBA, M.Com., MCS, M.Phil, and Ph.D. Additionlly, in recent years, the University has taken a lead in introducing 4-Year Undergraduate programs in Science, Commerce, Business, Pharmacy, Engineering, and English Literature and Linguistics. Various short-time courses and diplomas have become popular with the general public and are offered from time to time.

The University is widely known as an institution of strong performance and high ambition because it has continued to

make excellent progress toward its goals. It plays a significant role in developing indigenous human resources through its highly productive achievements, both in sciences and humanities.

The University through different phases has made tremendous progress, but some recent developments are remarkable. To promote the activities of art and culture, Multan College of Arts was established in 2003. In order to cater the needs of textile industry, which is a major industry of the area, the University College of Textile Engineering was established in 2004. The University has also established three sub-campuses at Sahiwal, D.G. Khan and Layyah to provide education facility at the doorsteps of the people as part of the policy of the Government. Steps have been taken to establish the University's linkages with the community and Industry. There has been significant enhancement in students' enrollment. To ensure quality in academics and research, Quality Enhancement Cell has been established. A large number of buildings are under construction. These buildings will provide better facilities to the students. The University has implemented semester system in almost all the departments and organizing international conferences and seminars has been a routine academic activity. A significant number of faculty members have been awarded post-doc research fellowships. The establishment of the Saraiki Area Study Centre, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology and Faculty of Veterinary Sciences are some recent developments.

The Bahauddin Zakariya University is the fastest growing public university in Pakistan, and it will continue to play a vital role in the development of the country.
