Chancellor's MessageIt gives me immense pleasure to extend heartiest felicitations to the management, faculty and the students of the Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan upon the commencement of new academic session. A new academic year always ushers in the sense of renewal-a renewal of purpose and collective commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, and service to the community. With this comes the firm resolution to achieve desired results and meet deliverables. It is heartening to note that Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, since its inception in 1975, has gone to become a flagship of excellence in higher education and research in this part of the province.In today’s highly competitive global world, knowledge is the key resource for further development and advancement of any country. The challenge that Universities and Institutions of higher learning would face in this scenario, is to continue to demonstrate a renewed commitment to excellence while maintaining high standards of education and research. Another challenge would be to engage in quality improvement by building on alliances and collaborative partnerships with all the stakeholders including industry and sister institutions. I am confident that Bahauddin Zakariya University will continue to respond to the challenges and opportunities during the year ahead and will achieve success and strategic objectives at the academic front.

I once again extend best wishes for this new academic year.

Malik Muhammad Rafique RajwanaGovernor Punjab / Chancellor

Prospectus Year 2016

My dear students

I am fully convinced that you are the future architects of a prosperous Pakistan. If you want a thriving Pakistan then it has to be a knowledge based Pakistan. You therefore enter the University to seek knowledge and leave to disseminate knowledge. In today's world high expectations and demands are placed on the centres of higher education. The 21 century calls for new approaches to learning, innovative thinking, the acquisition of specific knowledge not just about the discipline that they belong to but also about the environment, health and citizenship, and the promotion of ethical values and attitudes. In our rapidly changing and interdependent world, the universities not only have to ensure that students acquire solid skills in basic subjects, but also that they become responsible local and global citizens, at ease with new technologies and able to make informed decisions about health, the environment and other local and global challenges. Going global is the recipe to international peace, harmony and prosperity. Furthermore, remember one thing; education and all its forms crown those who nurture her. Character building is an important aspect of education. It is our social capital. Strength of character includes faith, discipline, tolerance, patience, sharing, caring and compassion. Development of these qualities in our institutions will help us reduce trust deficit and intolerance which prevails in our society today.

Let us therefore, work together to build knowledge based prosperous Pakistan.

Background

In 1975, the Government of the Punjab decided to set up fourEngineering Colleges at Taxila, Multan, Faisalabad and Bahawalpur inthe same order of priority. In accordance with the decision of thePunjab Cabinet, the first Engineering College initially startedfunctioning at Sahiwal and was later, in 1978, shifted to Taxila as asecond campus of the University of Engineering and Technology,Lahore. Later its status was raised to an independent University ofEngineering and Technology. The proposal for the second College ofEngineering and Technology at Multan met the approval of theECNEC in September 1990.

The College of Engineering and Technology was thus established as aConstituent College of the BahauddinZakariya University, Multan. Itsbroad objective is to produce engineers at undergraduate level withBachelor’s degree in conventional fields of Civil, Building &Architectural, Electrical, Computer and Mechanical Engineering tomeet the engineering and technological manpower requirements of the

University College of Engineering & Technology

province/country.

The College offers courses leading to the award of 4-Year engineeringdegree in Civil, Electrical, Building & Architectural, Computer andMechanical Engineering. The College envisages to provide teachingfacilities to more than 1000 students with intake of more than 250students per year (in all disciplines of Engineering) after thecompletion of the project. Due to certain spatial, financial andadministrative constraints, the College started Civil EngineeringProgram in 1994. In 1997, Electrical Engineering Program was started. In2004 three new disciplines namely Building & Architectural Engineering,Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering were launched.

Seventy acres of land at the campus of the University has beenallocated for the construction of various academic and administrativeblocks of the College. The plans of the administrative and academicblocks, with adequate space for class rooms and laboratories havebeen prepared. Purchase of equipment for laboratories and books forlibrary had already been taken in hand. The construction work of theCivil Engineering Department was completed in January, 1998. Theconstruction work of Electrical Engineering Department wascompleted in January, 2000 and that of Mechanical EngineeringDepartment was completed in May 2007. Moreover, the extensionsof Civil and Electrical Engineering departments are also completed.The construction of a boys hostel to accommodate 600 students,seven residences for teaching staff and twelve residences of other staffhave also been completed.

The University College of Engineering & Technology excels ininnovative teaching and research, in developing practical applicationsand approaches to problems and areas of study, and in preparingprofessionals and leaders who will have worldwide influence ontechnologies and societies.

Introduction

The city of Multan is the center of cotton producing region of theSouthern Punjab and therefore a need was being felt for an institutethat could provide skilled and technically trained manpower to thelocal textile industry especially one based on Cotton.

The Export Promotion Bureau (E.P.B.) in collaboration with MultanTextile Education Trust took the initiative and founded the Instituteof Handloom and Home Textile Technology (hereafterreferred to as I.H.H.T.T.). The I.H.H.T.T. offered a three years’Diploma of Associate Engineering (D.A.E. from now on) in textiletechnology.

Unfortunately, as more and more science got involved in industrialproduction of textiles, the inevitability presented itself and a higherdegree became quite indispensable. As a result I.H.H.T.T. was takenover by the university and a degree program for Textile Engineeringwas launched in August 2004 A.D.

Students can choose from four different specializations namely YarnManufacturing, Fabric Manufacturing, Textile Chemistry andGarments Manufacturing. Numbers of seats are varied each year toreflect the changing trends in the market for textile engineeringgraduates.

The syllabi have been designed to give students firm grip on not onlyengineering concepts but also to enhance management capabilities.Out of 44 courses offered here at the college; 12% are of NaturalSciences, 15% are of Humanities, Social and Management Sciencesand remaining 73% are of Engineering (distribution based on credithour(s) of courses offered).

Introduction

The Department of Arabic was established in 1985. Initially, theDepartment started functioning in a borrowed building of aGovernment School. But after a short span of time, the Departmentwas shifted to the “Language Block” of Bahauddin ZakariyaUniversity, main Campus in 1986. In the beginning, the Departmenthad a strength of 3 staff members which at present has amounted toeight. Three of them hold Ph.D. and four hold M.Phil Degrees. Atpresent, Department is running M.A., M.Phil. and Ph.D. programsalongwith Diploma/Short Course Certificate in Spoken Arabic.

The students of Arabic Department, after obtaining their degrees ofM.A., M.Phil and Ph.D., are serving in different walks of life all overthe country and abroad.The focus of the departmental interest is Arabic Language andLiterature. Language is considered the custodian of human knowledge.In this context, Arabic language is not only one of the major languagesof the world but is also considered the treasure house of theknowledge produced by Arabic and Muslim civilizations through thecenturies. By teaching Arabic Language, Department of Arabic,Bahauddin Zakariay University, Multan aims at developing inter-cultural and inter-regional understanding of the growth of humansociety and human knowledge. For, department focuses on the studyof impact of classical Arabic Language on the regional dialects andnational languages of south Asian Sub-continent. The Study ofcontribution of South Asian scholars to the Arabic literature is also agreat task which department has taken up. This cannot be donewithout comparing all this with the contribution of orientalists to theArabic Language and Literature. By focusing at these aspects, thedepartment is struggling to contribute in the newly emergingphenomenon of global village through effectivly communication ofhuman knowledge.

“Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Chair”

It is noteworthy that Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya Chair has beenestablished in the Department of Arabic.

Computer Science ProgramsComputer Science degree is an excellent preparation for a futurecareer. It sharpens the analytical skills of students as they discoverthe structures underlying software, stretches their creative talents asthey design new systems and give them the confidence to market theirideas to the waiting world. The students will come to understand whysystems work as they do - and what they learn will never go out ofdate for as long as people go on using computers. Although fashionsin packages and programming languages come and go, the principles donot change and Computer Science is about principles. Yet it is morethan that: the software packages we take for granted today are amongthe most complex artifacts ever created. To understand them onerequires a degree of intellectual activity-matching that is required inany longer established Sciences.

Introduction

The Department of Statistics is one of those departments of theUniversity that started functioning in a rented building in GulgashtColony right from the establishment of the University in 1975. It wasshifted to Statistics and Mathematics Block at the University Campusin 1987. Recently, the Department has been shifted into its newlyconstructed building, adjacent to the older one. Beside its very humblestart, the Department can now be compared with any top rankingteaching department of the subject in any university of Pakistan. Theteaching faculty of the Department consists of eleven teachers; sevenof them hold Ph.D. degrees while four of them hold M.Phil. degreesand currently, pursuing their Ph.D.

To get flawless connection with the current world, we need a rapidtransportation of information. This need can be fulfilled by thefrequent use of computer and emerging technology. The Departmenthas equipped its laboratories with latest computers, multimediaprojectors, scanners and audio-visual system. These laboratoriesprovide all the facilities for Computing Statistics, Data Processing,Computer Programming and Data Analysis for research. Modernstatistical packages/languages like R, STATA, MINITAB, E-Views,and SPSS etc. are made available to the faculty members andresearchers in the computer laboratory of the Department.

The Department doesnot believe in quantity solely, therefore, goodquality, expensive and rare books are alsomade available in the library. An audio-visualsystem has also been acquired to exhibitrecorded lectures of experts of national andinternational repute to the students. Studytours of the students to various StatisticsDepartments/ Institutions and Organizationsare also being arranged by the Department asa part of its study program to highlight theimportance and implementation of Statisticsin practical life.

Since its inception, the Department has beenoffering classes of M.Sc. Statistics. So farover 2000 students have been awarded thedegrees of Master of Science in Statistics.The Ph.D. Program in Statistics has beengoing on since 1995 and 11 scholars haveearned their doctorate degrees, 4 scholarshave submitted their theses while a numberof scholars are progressing for their Ph.D.research work. Moreover, HEC awardees arealso pursuing their research here as theDepartment has HEC accredited supervisorsamong its faculty. The Department startedM.Phil. leading to Ph.D. program in 2001 onregular basis and a considerable number ofstudents have earned the M.Phil degrees.

The Department is actively involved inresearch activities under supervision of thesenior faculty members of the Department.The Department participatesenthusiastically, in all the activities for thepromotion of research in the subjecteverywhere in Pakistan. The presentation ofa variety of research papers, seminars, andlectures delivered by the faculty members

Introduction

Molecular Biology and Biotechnology is defined as the application ofscientific and engineering principles to the processing of materials bybiological agents to produce goods and services. The completion ofhuman genome and Arabidopsis genome projects in the year 2000were great breakthroughs in the field of biotechnology. In the pasttwenty years, unprecedented progress in Molecular Biology andBiotechnology has been observed, which has made revolutionaryimpacts on every aspect of human activity such as agriculture,forestry, horticulture, livestock, health, medicine and environment. Inagriculture, it is predicted that the next green revolution or moreappropriately “evergreen revolution” will be due to biotechnologicalinnovations. In livestock, production of new transgenic animals willnot only meet the future needs of protein, dairy products etc butthese animals could also be used as bioreactor for the production ofvarious pharmaceuticals products. New safe protein drugs,particularly by site-directed mutagenesis, vaccines, diagnostic kits,antibiotics and enzymes can be produced by exploiting thebiotechnology in the field of medicine (Medical biotechnology). Thegenetic based diagnostic assays for some genetic disorders and otherdiseases have already been developed and their treatment by genetherapy would be possible.

Introduction

Biochemistry is at the core of basic discipline of life sciences.Graduates of biochemistry may serve in the pharmaceutical and foodindustries of Pakistan. A number of opportunities are also available inclinical laboratories and research institutions. Over the last 40 yearsbiochemistry has become so successful at explaining living processesthat now almost all areas of the life sciences are engaged inbiochemical research. Today the main focus of pure biochemistry is tounderstand how biological molecules give rise to the processes thatoccur within living cells. This in turn relates greatly to the study andunderstanding of whole organisms.

The discipline of Biochemistry was working under the umbrella ofChemistry since 1975 at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan. Alarge number of students have obtained their M.Sc, M.Phil and PhDdegrees in Chemistry with specialization in Biochemistry. Keeping inview the need of subject in the Country particularly in SouthernPunjab, an independent Department was established in August, 2012.Presently the Department of Biochemistry is running BS (4-year),M.Sc., M.Phil programs of study. The department also caterssubsidiary requirements of allied biological subjects. Curricula havebeen developed under the guideline of Higher Education Commissionto cover all the recent areas of Biochemistry.

Library of the Department is equipped with latest and modern booksof biochemistry and allied disciplines such as, biology, genetics,

Background:

The acute shortage of forest area in Pakistan covering only 4.2% ofthe forest resource on contrary to minimum inevitable 25% for acountry, existing forests merely caging the demand for escalatingpopulation. Punjab is even more constrained having only 2.3% areaunder forest. Moreover, illegal cutting, fire, insect pests and diseases(Shisham dieback the most important) and a number of administrativeand political constraints have dented the resource quite heavily andseized its current capacity by exposing this country to lethal hazards,

Department of Forestry & Ranage Management

the most recent is the devastated floods hit almost whole of thenation, forest degradation is one of the root cause of this menace. Tobe very straight, it is indispensable to increase tree cover in everypossible way, the success to this boulevard to increase trainedmanpower crammed with latest forestry knowledge and an attitude toserve the country.

Forestry sector plays an important role in soil conservation, regulatesflow of water for irrigation and power generation, reduction ofsedimentation in water conveyance and reservoirs, employment andmaintenance of ecological balance. The rapid deforestation,desertification and associated environmental hazards are negativelyinfluencing the climate, the flora and fauna, the economy andultimately the ever rising population which makes it mandatory torespond to these menaces. What is more appropriate in addition toother factors is to disseminate appropriate knowledge and skills andtrain manpower that aid in tackling pathetic forestry situation of thecountry. The Forestry Department at FAS&T will have multitudinalof benefits. The unique position of the university in the SouthernPunjab and the FAS&T are conducting research and developmentactivities towards various aspects of’ crop production, Nevertheless,a wide variety of tree plantations rangelands, wildlife, watersheds andbiodiversity conservation with special reference to forestry situationin the country remained unexplored. Students wishing to undertakeforestry as profession have to go else where in perusing theprofession of their interest. There is also a dearth of training toforestry professionals and institutions involved in various sections offorestry management especially in Punjab and generally the entirecountry. The forestry department shall offer courses towardssustainable natural resource management, research towards exploringthe status and potential of different forest types, irrigated plantationfor improving of the forestry situation. Furthermore, the Departmentalso holds a distinctive place for rendering training to farmers anddevelopment professional of the public and private sector of southernPunjab in nursery management, tree-crop interface management andattainment of major and minor products and utilization of resourcesinto secondary products and services.

1. Forestry Research AreaThe Department of Forestry & Range Management has established anexperimental research area expanded over 5 acres of land. Thisresearch area boasts 18 different tree species grown under HEIS (HighEfficiency Irrigation System). The research farm presents excellentopportunities to students and scholars to execute a range of studies in

Introduction

Agriculture sector plays a vital role in Pakistan’s economy. It is the2nd largest sector, accounting for over 21% to GDP. The sectoremploys about 45% of the country’s total labour work force. Almost62% of the country’s population live in rural areas and is directly orindirectly linked with agriculture for their livelihood. The sector is aprimary supplier of raw materials to downstream industry,contributing substantially to Pakistan’s exports.

There are three ecological zones in Punjab i.e. Barani Districts,Northern Irrigated Districts and Southern Irrigated Districts includingCholistan. Layyah is located in Barani Area and is situated betweenthe rivers Indus and Chenab in the central area of Pakistan. Thedistrict has variety of soils, being more fertile on western side near theIndus River and barren in the east. As we go from west to east, soilfertility decreases and at the extreme east there is desert “Thal” with

sand dunes. The western areas of the district are canal irrigated whilethe eastern part is rain fed (Barani). Due to varsity in ecologicalconditions, almost all types of agronomic and vegetable crops andtropical and subtropical fruits can be grown. The district also hasforests, rangelands and livestock farms. As far as geographicalposition is concerned, Bhakkar district is in the north, Muzaffargarhis in the south, Jhang is in the east and Tehsil Taunsa Sharif of D.GKhan district is in the west across the Indus river. Human populationof Layyah is 1.1 million as per Population Census 1998, percentagebreak-up of the rural and urban population is 87.2 and 12.8respectively.

In the neighbouring districts of Layyah i.e. Bhakkar, Mianwali,Khushab, Jhang and Muzaffar Garh there is no Agricultural College tooffer graduate and postgraduate degree programs. District Layyah isone of the least industrially developed districts of Punjab. Majority ofthe population depends upon agriculture for their livelihood. Realizingthe need for the agriculture in the area, Honourable Chief MinisterPunjab approved the establishment of the College of Agriculture atBahadur Sub-campus of Bahauddin Zakariya University at Layyah in2011. In this College, the study will be focused on all aspects of cropproduction, protection and improvement. This will help in povertyalleviation in region and at the same time will help in the enhancementof food production to feed the increasing population in the country.

The establishment of Agriculture College will enhance the number ofagricultural graduates in Punjab. The College has initiated 4-yearsdegree program of B.Sc (Hons.) Agriculture with specialization invarious disciplines. Later, M.Phil and Ph.D programm will also belaunched which will hopefully help in meeting professional / skilledmanpower for the Agriculture Sector particularly in the SouthernPunjab.
