QUAID’S MESSAGE “You know that the importance of education and the right type of education cannot be over-emphasized. Under foreign rule for over a century, in the very nature of things, I regret, sufficient attention has not been paid to the education of our people, and if we are to make any real speedy and substantial progress, we must earnestly tackle this question and bring our educational policy and program on the lines suited to the genius of our people, consonant with our history and culture, and having regard to the modern conditions and vast developments that have taken place all over the world. There is no doubt that the future of our Stat will and must greatly depend upon the type of education and the way in which we bring up our children as the future servants of Pakistan. Education does not merely mean academic education, and even that appears to be of a very poor type. What we have to do is to mobilize our people ad build up the character of our future generations. There is immediate and urgent need for training our people in the scientific and technical education in order to build up future economic life, and we should see that our people undertake scientific commerce, trade and particularly, well planned industries. But do not forget that we have to compete with the world, which is moving very fast in this direction. In short, we have to build up the character of our future generations which means highest sense of honor, integrity, selfless service to the nation, and sense of responsibility, and we have to see that they are fully qualified or equipped to play their part in the various branches of economic life in a manner which will do honor to Pakistan.” Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s message at the First National Education Conference, Karachi, 27 Nov-1 Dec 1947 BACHA KHAN’S MESSAGE

Abdul Ghaffar Khan was born on February 06,1890 in Utmanzai, Hashtnagar, and was died on January 20, 1988 at the age of 97 at Peshawar. He is known as Bacha Khan. He was a Pashtun independence activist who worked to end the rule of the British Raj in India. He was a political and spiritual leader known for his nonviolent opposition; he was a lifelong pacifist and devout Muslim.. His success triggered a harsh crackdown by the British Raj against him and his supporters, and they suffered some of the most severe repression of the Indian independence movement.

Bacha Khan founded the KhudaiKhidmatgar movement in 1929. It was a Pashtun non-violent movement against the British Empire by the Pashtun people of the North- West Frontier Province (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) of British India (now in Pakistan) also called Surkh Posh or "Red Shirts", this was originally a social reform organization focused on education and the elimination of blood feuds; it was known as the Anjuman-e-Islah-e Afghania (society for reformation of Afghans). The movement was led by Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, known locally as Bacha Khan or Badshah Khan.

4 CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE In the wake of globalization, it is heartening to witness the institutions of higher learning in our beloved motherland, struggling hard to keep pace with demands of market internationally. Indeed, the public sector universities in our province, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa also bear no exception in this respect rather seem to be comparatively more ambitious towards attainment of the goals, in line with their charters, despite being faced with difficult circumstances. Beyond doubt quality always prevails when it comes to competition in every field of life and we wish that the graduates coming out from our seats of higher learning may be second to none in all respects. The establishment of Bacha Khan University, Charsadda is no doubt a challenging way forward in our quest to abreast our youngsters with knowledge of desired standards. I am also cognizant of the fact that since its establishment in 2012, some progress has been attained both in respect of infrastructure and academic development but a lot still needs to be done which is a challenging task. I wish every success to the institution, its management, faculty and the students, alike to find congenial environment or peace, tranquility and unity in coming up to the expectations. MESSAGE The 21st century is marked with globalization, making knowledge also a shared and joint asset. Basic information and the present bases of knowledge and advance research work is now available on the internet to all and sundry around the global village. One only needs to have possession of the basic information technology and elementary knowledge of operating the same, for getting benefit from the vast bank of knowledge available. The Higher Education Department (HED) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is serving the nation and producing Scholars and Scientists for the country. The thematic vision of the Department is “Education for all” without distinguishing religion, cast and states. The Higher Education Department (HED) not only producing curricular activities but also polishing the generation by extra-curricular activities.
