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. A new education philosophy evolved and the curriculum was developed to suit the needs of the multi ethnic, multi religious and multi lingual society. The aims of education took a different dimension of developing a balance personality in a pluralistic society. New innovations are being added to the system providing educational opportunities, opening a gateway to the student population to cope with the developments of the 21st century, knowledgeable society. Today the development of technology, particularly the application of Information Communication Technology (ICT) has revolutionized learning methodologies. It has immensely facilitated the dissemination of knowledge, enabling to usher in a learning society. The government is keen on using this technology to introduce e-governance which will bring government services to the door- step of the people. The improvement of Information Communication Technology (ICT) education is a priority. New models of Results Based Management (RBM) highlighs the importance of the outcome of the educational activities are being introduced to the system gradually in keeping with the modern trends of education. 5 MESSAGE FROM VICE CHANCELLOR Welcome to the Bacha Khan University, Charsadda. Where academic excellence is nurtured and pursued rigorously. We are imparting quality education and conducting research, working to create positive change for a better world.

  • Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, Northern Pakistan
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Michael D. Hylland for the degree of Master of Science in Geology presented on May 3. 1990 Title: Geology of the Southern Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills. Northern Pakistan Abstract approved: RobeS. Yeats The Gandghar Range and Kherimar Hills, located in the Hill Ranges of northern Pakistan, contain rocks that are transitional between unmetarnorphosed foreland-basin strata to the south and high-grade metamorphic and plutonic rocks to the north. The southern Gandghar Range is composed of a succession of marine strata of probable Proterozoic age, consisting of a thick basal argillaceous sequence (Manki Formation) overlain by algal limestone and shale (Shahkot, Utch Khattak, and Shekhai formations). These strata are intruded by diabase dikes and sills that may correlate with the Panjal Volcanics. Southern Gandghar Range strata occur in two structural blocks juxtaposed along the Baghdarra fault. The hanging wall consists entirely of isoclinally-folded Manki Formation, whereas the footwall consists of the complete Manki-Shekhai succession which has been deformed into tight, northeast-plunging, generally southeast (foreland) verging disharmonic folds. Phyllite near the Baghdarra fault displays kink bands, a poorly-developed S-C fabric, and asymmetric deformation of foliation around garnet porphyroblasts. These features are consistent with conditions of dextral shear, indicating reverse-slip displacement along the fault. South of the Gandghar Range, the Panjal fault brings the Gandghar Range succession over the Kherimar Hills succession, which is composed of a basal Precambrian arenaceous sequence (Hazara Formation) unconformably overlain by Jurassic limestone (Samana Suk Formation) which in turn is unconformably overlain by Paleogene marine strata (Lockhart Limestone and Patala Formation).

  • Seismic Data Interpretation and Fault Mapping in Badin Area, Sindh, Pakistan
    Sindh Univ. Res. Jour. (Sci. Ser.) Vol.46 (2):133-142 (2014) SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL (SCIENCE SERIES) Seismic Data Interpretation and Fault Mapping in Badin Area, Sindh, Pakistan A. MUNIR, S. ASIM++, S. A. BABLANI*, A. A. ASIF** Department of Earth Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan Received 12th June 2013 and Revised 9th March 2014 Abstract: The purpose of this research is to study structural variations of subsurface using seismic and well log data of Badin area. 2D seismic reflection data of ten lines after correlation with five wells of the area reveal that extensive structural and depositional changes have occurred as a result of major & minor tectonic events. Seismic interpretation confirms Horst & Graben geometry in the studied area. Grabens are main areas for generation of hydrocarbons. Primary structuring is defined by structural style at Middle Sand level. Compensating faults are increased at shallower level (Top Lower Goru) due to variation in rock mechanics and applied forces. The variable throw at different levels describes structural evolution through the geological time. Contour maps in two way time and depth domain show faults having northwest to southeast trend in the studied area. Seismic and well data is used to establish stratigraphic correlations of different wells in Lower Indus Basin and also to elucidate the source of sediments and depositional centers during different geological time periods. Structuring in the area provides basic elements of requirements of petroleum system as proven by number of oil and gas discoveries in the area. Faults act as conduits providing migration pathway from source to reservoir rock and seals in trapping mechanism for hydrocarbons.

  • Point of View
    Centre for Mediterranean, Middle East & Islamic Studies University of Peloponnese www.cemmis.edu.gr 26 January 2016 PointPoint ofof viewview Why Bacha Khan University? Antagonism against Modern Education! Iftikhar H. Malik * There are many reasons to condemn and agonise over Pakistani Taliban’s wanton attack on Bacha Khan University in Charsadda on 20 January, causing twenty-one deaths and injuring more than thirty people, but two definitely stand out singularly. This private institution of higher learning was named after a great humanitarian and eminent freedom fighter, who avowedly believed in non-violence that he practised even before Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) made it into his unique creed. Khan, a towering and no less charismat- ic personality, began his long political career during the stormy day of the Khilafat Movement when Indian Muslims were deeply astir over events in the Ottoman caliphate. Exhortations for tolerance, non-violent resistance, modern education and an austere life endeared Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (1890-1988) across South Asia besides earning him a well deserved title, Bacha Khan—the King Khan. Charsadda was his birth place though the illustrious Khan willed to be buried in Jalalabad underlining his lifelong desire to solidify his ideas among fellow Pashtuns--often derisively called Pathans by the Raj and others. Not only this massacre of two teachers and nineteen students happened on Khan’s death anniversary, it callously took place in his very town as well and presumably the four perpe- trators and their backers claiming responsibility for this heinous crime happened to be fel- low Pashtuns for whom he had devoted his entire life.

    Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 19, Number 3, 2016 Interplay of Two Socio-Political Movements: Khudai Khidmatgar Movement and Independence Movement Nauman Reayat Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan, Pakistan Anwar-ul-Mujahid Shah Bacha Khan University Charsadda, Pakistan Usman Ali Quaid-i-Azam University, Pakistan INTRODUCTION The North West Frontier Province lies in the North of Pakistan, with Afghanistan to its West, Punjab and Kashmir to its East, and Baluchistan to its South. The region “designated” by the colonial rulers of India as the North-West Frontier Province has played a significant role in the making of Indian history. From the annexation of the Punjab in 1849 until 1901, the Pashto-Speaking Frontier districts of Peshawar, Kohat, Banu, Hazara and Dera Ismail Khan remained within Punjab province. The Punjab had also control over the border tracts of Malakand, Khyber, Kurram, North Waziristan and South Waziristan. Lord Curzon the Viceroy of India had the knowledge of the area. He was well aware of the fact that for better administration, NWFP should be separated from the Punjab. Thus, as a result of Curzon’s initiative, on 9th November, 1901 the North West Province came into being(Bakhsi, 1992). The Khudai Khidmatgar movement emerged as strong political force in NWFP. It was founded by Abdul Ghaffar Khan commonly known as Bacha Khan. He was born in 1890 at Utmanzai (Charsada) in the Peshawar district. He was the fourth child of his parents(ibid). His father Bahram Khan was a well-to-do landowner of Mohammadzai clan. He received his early education in Peshawar.

The structural evolution records of this area indicate that it consists of tight anticlines and broad syncline structures. Previous studies show that the structural pattern of this area has been produced due to multiple episodes of deformation. In the present research, 2D seismic data has been integrated with our field surveys to clarify the role of active strike-slip faulting in reshaping the surface structures of Shakardarra, Kohat. At the surface, doubly plunging anticlines and synclines are evolved on evaporites as detachment folds, truncated by thrust faults along their limbs. Seismic data show that the thrust faults originate from basal detachment located at the sedimentary-crystalline interface and either cut up section to the surface or lose their displacement to splay or back thrusts.
