History

Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah during his visit to the Islamia College in April 1948 said that “Let me tell you that nothing is dearer to my heart than to have a University in North West Frontier Province from where rays of learning and culture will spread through the Central Asia, and provided you go the right way about it, you will get your University sooner than you can imagine”. Soon afterward efforts began for the establishment of the university, and the University of Peshawar was established in 1950. Its foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister Dr. Liaqat Ali Khan on October 30, 1950.
