History of University |
Sargodha District, at present, lies between the rivers Jhelum and the Chenab and
is a part of the 'Chaj' Doab (land between the two rivers). Although its headquarter,
the city of Sargodha, was founded in the year 1903, the area had, long cultural
and political history. Its very location made it the cross-road of various invaders
coming from the north-west. Thus it became a meeting place of different people and
a melting-pot of diverse cultures in ancient times. In the ancient period, the area
of Sargodha District had been rich in art and culture. It was part of the Indus
Valley Civilization, a centre of the Rag Vedic tradition, and being part of Gandhara
province, a flourishing centre of Gandhara school of sculpture.
But the frequent foreign invasions from the north-west created social instability
and the cultural tradition could not be stabilized. Especially the HUN invasions
of the 4th century A.D. were marked by massacre, rapine and fire. They swept away
everything before them, leaving the region a prey to chaos and vulgar superstitions.
During the Muslim and British periods of
the history of South Asia, centralized kingdoms were established in the country
with the capital generally at Delhi. The Sargodha region now became an area far
remote from the centre. All attention of the government was concentrated on the
areas adjoining the central or provincial capitals and the Sargodha region was completely
ignored. The people of the region were deprived of the educational facilities.
Before the establishment of Pakistan, there
was only one college (established in 1929) in the District, located at Shahpur,
which catered to the educational needs of the surrounding districts like those of
Khushab, Mianwali and Bhakar.
One year before Independence, Government
College was shifted from Shahpur to Sargodha. In the new environment, imbibed with
the new spirit of freedom, this institution made rapid progress developing itself
into a mini-university, having started post-graduate classes in eight disciplines
in 1987-88. Government College Sargodha had a vast lush green campus spread over
more than one hundred acres of land. It was like an oasis of calm and green at the
midst of a bustling city. In 2002, Government College was upgraded into a University.
Soon after its inception, the University
of Sargodha under the dynamic leadership of its founder Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dr.
Riaz-ul-Haq Tariq, put a giant step on the road to progress and since then, never
looked back. The journey, started in
2002 by an ordinance
