Peshawar University is situated in lush green environment of the famous City of Flowers Peshawar besides the historical Islamia College Peshawar. It has vast green flowered surroundings and habitat that is very thoughtful and poetic for teaching and learning.
Initially it was founded in early fifties, perhaps in 1950, in the vicinity
of the leased area of Islamia College Peshawar with the intent of acquiring
regular building for it in future. It gradually started and established many Centers
of excellence like medical, biological, botanical, history and culture etc. Where
one can get the utmost knowledge and degrees and doctorates. Right from the day of its establishment it
earned a good name in the list of highly famous universities of the country
Pakistan.
Like other famous universities of the country it is headed by a Vice
Chancellor mostly having doctorates in their fields of sciences and arts.
Governor of the province is its honorary Chancellors who almost always took
interest in its fabrication and development. The Chancellor of the university
takes a pride to head the delegation or gathering in its green gardens. The
pavements and road within nit are tarmac and cemented.
On a visit one would see many young men and women in traditional
uniforms and regular tribal clothes depicting their nature of studies. The
months of admissions to various of its department are the occasions of rush to
and fro the university. During the months of extra-curricular activities, the
lawns and large grassy grounds around it are worth seeing. It harbors both
genders of students taking part and watch the annual games organized by the
administration of the university.
One of the spectacular things that can see is the transport facility
run within the university for staff and students having a vast area traversing
the university.
Apart from its greenery it harbors botanically gardens where trees
of various verities go upwards and make the environment lush and green through
the year. Even in cold weather of a autumn one can see ever green plants and
trees in the university. To nurture the botanical gardens and trees the
administration has employed many class-IV/malies who look after their duties
very honestly. Annual day of Roses and Jasmin along with Gule-Dawoodi is a
landmark of this university. People pay visits during those days in large number
which show their interest in nature and natural environments. The green and
then yellow oranges grown on ever green trees around major departments give a
marvelous look and sight capturing.
Of late we have 6 major faculties and 40 postgraduate departments in
it. Wherein thousands of students are studying and upon completion of studies
go forth to serve the nation. Faculty of
Chemistry and Physics are the unique ones. Besides the agricultural faculty the
engineering faculty play an important role in creating qualified engineers for
upbringing of the industry and architecture. The faculty of history is also the
famous one. The Library it has is of the higher grade with thousands of famous
historical and other books of science and arts. The students usually borrow
books from this library in cases of their inability to purchase from open
market where such books are rather cost and unavailable.
Apart from it has got 8 research centers that provide a cossy
atmosphere to the students to make researches and get master and doctorates in
their areas of choices. The university is known to be offering scholarships to
the entitled students having exemplary status in studies. It also compels other
departments to come forward and help students studying in this university and
borrow their services in the time of their needs.
Peshawar university is regarded as the best one in the whole Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. However, in the time of its inception there were no other one
university so it provided teaching and learning environments to local populace
as well as the whole province. Mostly the university offer residential hostels
to the distant students where the climate is very knowledge-friendly. The staff
meant for controlling its residential accommodation is very disciplined.
The university has local bank branches, post office and other civic
amenities at the door steps of the students. The administration is known to be
stiving for its autonomous status to be self-financed self-propelled study center.
The student as well as the visits and
parents like the Coffee shop where most of the items are fresh, hot and
economical. The sitting areas is also wide and family fashioned. After the hectic
studies when the sugar levels of most of the students is low, they visit coffee
shop to replenish their energies on very economical price.
A few years back the administration delivered laptops to its student
s studying in Masters in all of the disciplines. That activity was very fruitful
for the students as well as parents in which they saved colossal expenditure
and thus their socio-economic uplifted. The scheme is considered fruitful to
all of its students in this era of sophistication of technology. It is learnt
that sometimes the administration fees financial hardships in paying the monthly salaries and pensions of the low-paid
employees which is considered as alarming one for the province, the provincial
administration through THE LEADERSHIP OF Chief Minister and Governor must give
due importance to its issues and redress the grievances before it start
retarding the teaching – learning processes.
