Vice Chancellor’s Message

My aim as Vice Chancellor Gandhara University is to create an environment for the students where they can be transformed, from mere bookish learners, to highly motivated professionals with determination and love to serve the mankind.

Gandhara University takes pride in its being an institution having full recognition from healthcare and education monitoring bodies both nationally and internationally. Kabir Medical College and Sardar Begum Dental College have full and secure recognition from Pakistan Medical Commision and Higher Education Commission, and Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations and Coordination (NHSRC), Islamabad. We have approval from the World Health Organization, ECFMG (USA) and ), General Medical Council, and General Dental Council (U.K). Our attached paramedical institutes are fully acknowledged and recognized by their respective regulatory bodies.

Our focus is to impart the qualities of leadership into our students so that they are able to bring about positive changes in the society. It’s my desire to make the environment at the university more conducive for effective transfer of knowledge from teachers to learners, both of which are highly valued stake-holders in any educational system. Our faculty comprises of highly qualified skilled professionals with the highest level of qualification required for their jobs, including PhD’s, M. Phils, MDS and Fellows in medical and dental disciplines, from Pakistan as well as abroad. I believe that students are our most valuable assets and we have to make sure that they are not only transformed into skilled health professionals to compete with and satisfy the needs of the market, but also to ensure their character-building and personality development, to help, serve and construct the society.

The need for an experienced IT Department in educational institutions cannot be overemphasized, especially in the current pandemic of Covid-19, when there are partial and complete lockdowns of cities and closure of schools and colleges. Gandhara University has an experienced IT team, by virtue of which we have adapted a hybrid model of teaching and learning, with online classes, thus facilitating our students to continue learning and saving their precious time. I intend to make the IT Department of Gandhara University the best among the sister institutions for sheer benefit of my students.

I am a strong believer in positive interaction, coordination, and cooperation among all the stake holders (management, faculty, students and all the support staff) for the uplift of this premier institution, as Allama Iqbal RA narrated:

موج ہے دریا میں اور بیرون دریا کچھ نہیں

I welcome you all, dear students, who choose to seek admission in Gandhara University and to be a part of this leading institution, and wishing you all that is best for you. Your excellence in the field of education and training will be my pride (in sha Allah).
