The University of Peshawar stands as the cornerstone of education in this region, playing a vital role in its development and intellectual growth—a mission that continues to thrive. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to study, teach, and now lead this esteemed institution. As higher education evolves, so too must our strategies to equip the next generation for the challenges of the future.

At the University of Peshawar, we are committed to advancing both ancient sciences and contemporary knowledge. Our dedicated and experienced faculty is tirelessly working towards this goal. We aim to create an environment and provide facilities for our students that mirror those found in leading institutions around the world. To achieve this, we will maintain close collaboration with government bodies, educational institutions, and our alumni network, enhancing our connections with national and international organizations focused on education and research. We are also dedicated to creating practical training opportunities for our youth.

Currently, universities across the country are grappling with financial challenges, and the University of Peshawar is no exception. With over 20,000 students and a large staff, the impact of inflation and limited financial resources has been significant. We will prioritize working with the government to address these issues.

The University of Peshawar boasts one of the most beautiful campuses globally, offering a vibrant academic and residential atmosphere. We are committed to enhancing this environment and providing even more facilities for our students. Our students are our greatest asset, and we strive to offer comprehensive academic, research, residential, and extracurricular support. We will revitalize student societies and promote healthy activities and initiatives. Additionally, we will implement measures to foster a safe campus environment, steering students away from drugs and other harmful behaviors.

We seek the support and collaboration of parents in this endeavor, as together we can make a significant impact. My aspiration is to restore the prestige of this alma mater and elevate it to the ranks of world-renowned universities. Achieving this vision requires the collective effort of all stakeholders—students, parents, civil society, and the government. With united support for the university's development, we can realize our dream of sustainability and growth.
