To answer the demands of a changing society, Pakistan's higher education system needs to shift its focus from individuals who simply absorb knowledge to those who are able to creatively utilize knowledge to excel in unfamiliar situations. These creative individuals should be able to tackle situations from new perspectives, break into new fields, excel in crisis management, and be rich in ingenuity. The role of a university is to diligently perform the duty of imparting high quality education while at the same time maintaining strong links with society. Stress on the high quality education is of the essence because the battle of life cannot be won with cheap degrees which are like wooden armour. Private universities should therefore devote themselves to nurturing creative individuals and must continue in this tradition, raising leaders who are able to carry Pakistan into the future. I am confident that the Sarhad University has geared its programme towards this end. There are no shortcuts to success. We have to develop high standards on ethical, social, economic and scientific fronts. Such developments do not take place spontaneously; these demand hardwork, discipline, dedication and commitment. I hope that the Sarhad University is taking all measures to inculcate these values in the students. Mamnoon Hussain 2 Message from the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ever since the current century dawned, we as a nation have been witnessing a steady growth in Higher Education. It brought a pleasant change on every count. Whether it is viewed from social aspects of life or evaluated from economic point of views, this sector has been ushering quite an encouraging progress and returns both to the country and the society on long term basis. Being a multi-prong approach, one may view the outcomes from the changing scenario in the quality of life of the people in the country as well. Since, it requires constant efforts; sustenance in resource mobilization; generating new avenues for economic growth; capacity and capability building to develop partnerships internationally and a well-judged approach based on scientifically gathered data for ensuring result orienting expansion, therefore, an efficient monitoring and guiding mechanism at every level proves helpful for decision makers. Al-hamdo Lillah in this particular discipline we, as a nation are heading forward with a visible progress. The culture of research and orientation to new horizons is indeed taking place at the campuses; pleasant state of partnership is there amongst the public and private sectors and the ratio of graduating lots in various disciplines is in the increasing trend with every passing academic session. With these realities in the back drop, one may find it a right time to focus upon the very ingredients required to ensure quality on every count and direction. Amongst various avenues in waiting for new corners, the indigenous resources mobilization brings better outcomes for every society. While our graduating individuals and the institutions are found struggling hard to be competitive internationally on the one hand, need to focus upon ensuring a balanced approach to developing a matching scenario within the country is also there. While writing these lines for the prospectus 2017-18 of the University, I expect an improved headway and wish the new comers a better future. Good luck to everyone. Engr. Iqbal Zafar Jhagra 3 Message from the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education and mere education is the only mean, through which we promote national and international harmony, maintain our national values and ensure socioeconomic, scientific and technological development of the country. This is the only way through which we can effectively create a human capital, the most essential tool to keep pace with the developed world. Higher Education is today recognized as a capital investment and is of paramount importance for economic and social development of the country. Institutions of higher learning bear the main responsibility of equipping individuals with advanced knowledge and skills required for positions of responsibility in government, business and other professions. Only highly educated manpower can tackle today's complex problems. Thus, without the participation of highly qualified human resource, the process of economic development is very difficult to accelerate. That is why; education is considered the most important factor for development of a nation. Indeed the private sector Universities of the province are actively engaged to share the burden of the public sector by catering to a greater proportion of science education which is of great significance in the prevailing circumstances. The Sarhad University of Science & Information Technology is no doubt playing its due role, much in relation to the above said goals and expectations of our society. The University will have to continue taking bold initiatives in order to meet the ever changing need of the job market. I whish Sarhad University a great success. Pervaiz Khan Khattak 4 Message from the Chairman Higher Education Commission The Government of Pakistan gives highest priority to higher education in the country. In order to meet the ever-growing demand of the society, especially in higher education and research. The universities in Pakistan both public and private sectors are being encouraged to make their contribution through good quality, learning and research for the development and progress of Pakistan. For the last 12 years, the Higher Education Commission, (HEC) has launched a number of programs and reforms to enable the Universities to pay an effective role in the socio-economic development of a country. The parents and students certainly expect quality education development of a country. We must, therefore, focus on imparting quality education for building economy of Pakistan on knowledge, and compete globally. It is heartening to know that Sarhad University of Science and Information Technology, Peshawar, has been placed in category “W-3” by the Higher Education Commission, in relation to the fulfillment of requirements prescribed by the HEC. SUIT, Peshawar has no doubt achieved remarkable landmarks in a short span of time by providing state of the art laboratory facilities, launching of contemporary degree programs in the field of Engineering, Pharmacy, management Science, Computer Science, Information Technology and Social Sciences and establishing industrial linkages are well thought out step taken by SUIT, Peshawar in the direction. Distance Education Program launched in Khyber Pakhutunkhwa and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) is yet another achievement of Sarhad University, through which its is imparting quality education to the youth, who cannot afford regular education. Such efforts of SUIT, Peshawar will not only benefit the un-educated youth academically, but will also help them financially to earn their livelihood with respect and dignity. I hope the university will uphold the trust held by students and their parents. I further hope that the university will continue with its efforts for promotion of high standard higher education and research. Prof. Dr. Mukhtar Ahmed 5 Message from the President, Sarhad University It has been my life-long desire to reach and serve people from an area that direly needed my services and contributions in the higher education sector. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province suited my objective more than any other neglected areas of Pakistan due to its close proximity to my base-station and the energetic segment of students of KP, who otherwise have all the potentials to be in the driving seat of this developing country. I chose education as my favorite objective and the young generation as my prime target as no society in the civilized world could ever progress without educating upcoming generation. It is unique imagination and a marvelous experience that a journey I started in the year 2001, is now unfolding its colors in many ways. The launching of Sarhad University with a humble start of programmes in computer science, IT and Management Sciences from ab-initio was a gigantic task which I could not have accomplished alone. It was my team which worked with unmatchable hard work and dedication as the resources were meager and our resolve to reach the students was unflinching. Please permit me to share that people travel to acquire education, we on the contrary, opted to travel from the posh and metropolitan Islamabad to Peshawar to offer our services to our brethren from the province of KP. Dear students, Sarhad University with state of the art buildings housing classrooms, scientific and research laboratories, a huge library with latest books, auditorium, dedicated parking space along with sports ground is now fully functional to offer academic programmes in various disciplines. In the wake of latest developments we have put in place a robust security system backed by CCTV cameras, walk through gate and metal detectors with recording facilities through DVR system to maintain a secured environment at our premises. Allow me to share on a healthy note that Sarhad University has excelled in the fields of Engineering i.e Electrical, Mechanical & Civil, Business Administration, Computer Science & IT, Sports Sciences, Textile and Fashion Design and Life Sciences under supervision of extremely experienced supervisors from PhD, M.Phil / MS degree holders.
