Philanthropy is an origin in this contemporary period, it is philanthropy which it can dissolve the problems of the people, and philanthropy shows the direct and successfulness way for all people. And Allah Says in holy Quran which the all Muslims people are brothers. Different information about the social life has described in “Olfat” proses, and his proses express the social, economic, and political states ,which they have connection with philanthropy and humanity, so all these give very good information for us, and we can find the way of the life by philanthropy. The good way and the successfulness way do exist in the philanthropy, which all they are the inheritance of the GulPacha “Olfat”. So “Olfat” has pointed in his proses to every good way. And also I have decided which I must write anything under the title of the philanthropy, because we must live in the space of affection, and in the space of sympathy. So this topic can give very good counsel for all people, till the people take decision for the making and for progress of their country and society.

  • Kandahar University Strategic Plan (2017-2021)
    Islamic Republic of Afghanistan Ministry of Higher Education Kandahar University Kandahar University Strategic Plan (2017-2021) Chancellor’s Message of Kandahar University It is a pleasure for me that Kandahar University has implemented two strategic plans each with five years length of time to the possible extent, meanwhile the quality assurance programs have also been initiated practically in different universities of the country prompting great outcome. It is very hard to expect such a progress in a community where a clear procedure for positive competition is lacking; Afghanistan can be a prime example of such a circumstance. As our country is lagging behind in many ways in comparison to other countries, great efforts and progressive steps are required to move parallel to the possible limit with these countries. By doing so, if we were not able to be equal with other countries in a short time, at least we would have pinpointed the right path for progress. This is also a fact that we lack while other countries of the world possess those facilities that are vital for the progress and improvement especially in higher education and research area. In spite of all the limitations and challenges, we are required to benefit from the limited available national and international aid resources to a great extent. This strategic plan for five years have been prepared after the revision and consultation of all responsible and prominent personnel of Kandahar University and it is prepared in concordance with the strategic plan of Ministry of Higher Education and with governmental national progressive strategy of Afghanistan.
