Vice-Chancellor‟s Message
The recent velocity and profundity of our country‟s
economic downturn has presented an extraordinary
experience for many of us due to global recession
and shortage of energy resources resulted in lack of
industrial and agricultural productivity. The economic challenges that we are
facing now and which we will most likely continue to face in many years to
come had tremendous impact on our university. In addition to that, the vacant
post of Vice-Chancellor for more than six months hampered the efficiency and
performance of the university. We, however, struggled against all odds to
strengthen our University.
During the last one year particularly, the BZU has continued to provide quality
education as per the expectations of the students‟ and the research grant was
increased considerably having exponential increase impact on the
International publications of the university. It was supported by world class
cutting edge research for which the University has been highly commended
by the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan.
Due to the untiring efforts of my colleagues, the Higher Education

Commission ranked BZU 3rd in the General (large) universities of Pakistan in
2011. All our achievements whether in academia, research, construction or
administration have virtually no limits.
Our lush green and environment friendly campus, dynamic faculty, well-
equipped class rooms, modern laboratories and Quality Enhancement
Directorate are an indication of the overall dynamism of the B.Z. University.
We should be proud of our continued growth which has made this year
rewarding and the credit goes to my brilliant colleagues whose sincere
devotion have made our success possible.

History of the University
Multan has always remained a centre of excellence in education. Hazrat

Bahauddin Zakariya (1172 – 1262 A.D.), a Muslim religious scholar and saint,
established a school of higher learning in theology in Multan where scholars
from all over the world came for studies and research. Multan has maintained
its central position and centuries old cultural heritage and therefore suited
ideally to become a centre of learning. Thus the University of Multan was
established in 1975 by an Act of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. To pay
homage to the Great Saint, the name was changed from the University of
Multan to Bahauddin Zakariya University in 1979.
The University is located at a distance of 10 km from the city centre. The main
Campus is spread over 960 acres of land. The University has a fleet of 22
buses and 3 coaches which provides transport facilities to students and staff.
The University started functioning in 1975 in rented buildings with 8
departments. Presently, it has 54 departments/institutes/colleges. Out of its
502 members of the faculty, 189 hold doctoral degrees and it has strength of
almost 19000 students.

Bahauddin Zakariya University believes that economics of the university

lies on its research output. Therefore BZU has a specialized Directorate

researchers and scholars to proceed for research without any financial or
administrative hindrance. The ORIC office is actually the strengthen
shape of the Directorate of Research with extended scope to take care of
technology incubation activities, Patent matters and generate new
initiates for research collaboration. There is an immense need of
establishment of ORIC at BZU for which work is going on for its proper
approval from statutory bodies. All the academic and administrative
departments have been encouraged to actively take part in research and
consultancy activities. Faculty of Agriculture and Science is actively
engaged in consultancy services to the formers and few projects with the
help of foreign agencies are in process by the university. The activities

all the interested researchers are provided funds by the
university from its own resources.
All the researchers are treated on duty during the research and
consultancy project period.
The Professors and Associate professors who are actively
involved in research and consultancy activities are given
lesser teaching work load. Professors are supposed to
participate in 75% of their work load in research and
consultancy and only 25% work load is for teaching. Similarly
Associate Professor and Assistant Professors are supposed to
share 50% of their work load for their research and
consultancy.

Chapter-9: Universities Building Communities
9.1 University-community Interaction
BZU signed Agreement with PSIC
Mr. Farhan Aziz Khawaja, Managing Director of Punjab Small

Industries Corporation (PSIC) visited the BZU in May 2012 and called
on the Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Syed Khawaja Alqama in his office. An
MoU was signed between University College of Arts and Punjab Small
Industries Corporation for making joint efforts for promotion of local
handicrafts, provision of facilities of marketing of local products and
imparting training to local youth in these particular arts. Besides, BS
designing/handicraft programme will be initiated soon.
9.2 University’s role in building community
Community is one of the biggest stakeholders of the university

education. It includes parents, general public and employers. The
community can play vital role in educational policy development and its
execution. The inputs from various stakeholders of the community are
essential for quality education to meet the national and regional needs.
Again, unfortunately this is one of the week areas that needs to be
strengthened. This university organizes annual meeting and student
week and parents are encouraged to participate but their participation
is not encouraging. An awareness program for community participation
is needed. In future university has a policy to actively engage the
community in providing feedback to the institution.
Page 73/106
9.3 Alumni Affairs: Outstanding Achievements etc
Alumni of the university is considered to be the true ambassador

working free of cost and providing financial and academic support
through their feedbacks. Alumni wish to contribute to the enrichment
and enhancement of the quality of education being received by the
students and also make contribution to the society at large. They
associate and involve in fostering professional, academic and social
links with the university. The alumni as a stakeholder is significant
during the different stages of institutional activities such as need
analysis phase, curriculum design phase, implementation phase and in
evaluation.
Alumni continue to be the largest source of private contribution to

education in analysis and evaluation of the existing policies of the
university. They are instrumental in gaining valuable insights about
various industries, employers and society. They identify what kind of
experience and skills are needed to obtain specific position in
profession. They provide feedback through which the institution can
update academic courses most relevant to current requirements.
Besides they identify career opportunities available in a particular field
based upon which academic programmes can be decided. The alumni
can help the institution during curriculum development and revision
with a view to include courses on entrepreneurship skills and
leadership qualities for students by giving the feedback periodically.
They help to identify the currently appropriate requirements for
development relevant to successful employment, ensuring the inclusion
of essential skill elements. They also help to identify the professional
organizations which are useful to the particular field and to know what
type of skills is most important for industry. Alumni can involve
themselves in providing orientation programmes and providing funds.
The alumni may institute awards prizes and contribute books to the
Page 74/106
library or establish book bank. Fund can be raised to cater to the needs
of the genuinely deserving candidates. They can provide financial aid
to support the poor, needy and meritorious.
Bahauddin Zakariya University is composed of around 50 departments

and there is no centralized alumni data bank as a result strong alumni
infrastructure does not exist. However, individual departments are
maintaining record of some ex-students. The university is try its level
best to set up a centralized data bank for alumni and hope that in future
this university would be able to get all the benefits associated with the
alumni. Some departments like Institute of Management Sciences,
Institute of Bank Alfalah and Department of Physics are leader in
establishing the alumni infrastructure.
