We are living in a time of unprecedented scientific, technical and technological advancement, yet we are faced with critical issues that threaten our welfare, development and survival. Shaping human attitudes and behaviors towards resolving issues, restoring hope and building community within a given geographical sphere is a global challenge. It becomes particularly urgent when society at large... is being driven to a state of extreme hopelessness. In such a situation, the community will welcome any initiative aimed at the improvement of their livelihood and promises solution of their local problems.
Mere acquisition of resources don’t drive economies and impact people’s life standards any more. It is the investment in higher education sector and applied scientific research that impacts people, drives economies, sustains growth, inculcates positive changes in attitudes and ensures all round development within a society. The higher education institutions play a decisive role in leading the nations towards position of honor, prestige and strength. The depth and interdisciplinary nature of research at institutes of higher learning sparks creative, imaginative and inventive insights and offers solutions to real life problems.
The establishment of University of Haripur (UoH) is an important milestone in the history of higher education in Hazara region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan; a region which entails the international Karakorum Highway. There was a strong motivation to establish UoH and a significant coherence among the potential stakeholders regarding the direction that such a project should take.
The motivation can be supported estimates which suggest that in 2017-18 approximately 8,000-10,000 pupils will be enrolled in the University with the completion of proposed physical and academic infrastructure. Having education at all levels with strong Islamic foundations is important for the nation as a whole and we firmly believe that education should be focused on providing principled, morally motivated leaders to serve the country - a new generation of leaders who understand the need for justice and peace in Pakistan. It is an understood notion that the UoH shall have a globally recognized validation.
Hazara University, being the only public sector university in this region, was not sufficient enough to cater for the educational needs and requirements of the entire Hazara Division. Though it played pivotal role in equipping people with necessary knowledge and skills, however being at approximately 100 km from Haripur, the people of District Haripur, HassanAbdal, Chaj,Wah, Taxila, Mardan and Swabi had low access to University particularly the female students. The need of a campus in Haripur was seriously felt in order to facilitate the deserving students who have accessibility problems to Mansehra campus. The choice of this Rosin and Turpentine factory among others was found the most suitable one for the establishment of Haripur campus. The idea was picked by the then Vice Chancellor, Hazara University, to open a satellite campus of Hazara University in Haripur to provide higher educational access to the people of Haripur and its adjoining areas at their door step. The idea was supported by the then Governor and Environment Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. On March 8, 2008, the factory was formally handed over to Hazara University for the establishment of its Haripur Campus and on March 30, 2008, the Campus was inaugurated by the Chief Minister.
The mission of the University of Haripur is to achieve and maintain high standards in every sphere of its teaching and promote an open, collaborative and novel culture of scientific inquiry to improve the lives and livelihoods of the people through sustainable development. Goal The University of Haripur aims to create an enabling environment for conducive learning to find solutions of current day"s problems and prevention of new one"s through sustained supply of trained human resources to the national and international arena.
