The City-MultanThe City-Multan

Multan, the city of saints, has been a center of learning, culture and civilization for centuries . It is one of the oldest living cities of the world. Its original name as described by Hiuen Tsang, a Chinese traveller, who visited the city in October 641 A.D., was ‘Mu-lo-san-pu-lu’, which is believed to be a translation of ‘Mulasthana-Pura’. Al-Beruni, who came to South Asia in 1015 A.D. alongwith his Master Sultan Mahmud Ghaznavi, writes about the town as ‘Mulatana’. He visited Multan the same year and recorded that Multan was originally called ‘Kasyapapura, then Hansapura, then Bhagapura, then Sambapura and then Mulasthana. Sir Gen. Alexander Cunningham, after conducting excavations in the old fort in 1853 A.D. and 1864 A.D., further adds to these names those of ‘Prahladapura and Adysthana’. The first recorded event in the history is the invasion of Alexander the Great in February 325 B.C.

Several other important historians visited Multan including Masudi (915 A.D.), Istakhri (951 A.D.) and Ibn Batuta (1334 A.D.) and they all wrote about the social, cultural and educational activities in Multan. Multan’s importance has always been acknowledged and it has always maintained its distinguished and honorable position among the cities of this region.

The city (740 ft. above sea level) is located almost in the center of Pakistan. It is at a distance of approximately 950 km from Karachi and 630 km from Islamabad, right on the main highway and about six kilometers from the mighty Chenab, in a bend created by the five confluent rivers. The vast plain of Multan Division is dissected by rivers, canals and narrow water channels, forming an ideal agricultural base for the economic development of the region.

The UniversityThe UniversityMultan has always remained a centre of excellence in education. Hazrat Bahauddin Zakariya (1172 - 1262 A.D.), a Muslim religious scholar and saint, established a school of higher learning in theology in Multan; where scholars from all over the world came for studies and research. Multan has maintained its central position and centuries old cultural heritage and therefore suited ideally to become a center of learning. Thus the University of Multan was established in 1975 by an Act of the Punjab Legislative Assembly. To pay homage to the Great Saint, the name was changed from University of Multan to Bahauddin Zakariya University in 1979.

The University is located at a distance of 10 km from the city center. The main Campus is spread over 960 acres of land. The University has a fleet of 42 buses for the Commute facility to students and staff. The University started functioning in 1975 in rented buildings with 8 departments. Presently, it has more than 40 departments/institutes/colleges. Out of its 599 faculty members, 333 hold doctoral degrees and among its around 25,160 students, half are female.

The University offers a wide range of programs; B.S., M.A., M.Sc., MBA, M.Com., MCS, M.Phil, and Ph.D. in Sciences, Commerce, Business, Pharmacy, Engineering, Social Sciences, Agricultural, Veterinary Sciences and Islamic Studies & Languages. Various short-time courses and diplomas have become popular with the general public and are offered from time to time.

The University is widely known as an institution of strong performance and high ambition because it has continued to make excellent progress toward its goals. It plays a significant role in developing indigenous human resources through its highly productive achievements in sciences, Social sciences, humanities and professional education.

The University through different phases has made tremendous progress, but some recent developments are remarkable. To promote the activities of art and culture, Multan College of Arts was established in 2003. In order to cater the needs of textile industry, which is a major industry of the area, the University College of Textile Engineering was established in 2004. The University has also established sub-campuses at Sahiwal, D.G Khan, Vehari, Layyah and Lodhran to provide education facility at the doorsteps of the

people as part of the policy of the Government. BZU had campuses at D.G Khan and Sahiwal have independently emerged as Ghazi University and University of Shaiwal Steps have been taken to establish the University's linkages with the community and Industry. There has been significant enhancement in students' enrollment. To ensure quality in academics and research, Quality Enhancement Cell has been established. A large number of buildings are under construction. These buildings will provide better facilities to the students. The University has implemented semester system in almost all the departments and organizing international conferences and seminars has been a routine academic activity. A significant number of faculty members have been awarded post-doc research fellowships. The establishment of the Saraiki Area Study Centre, Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences are some recent developments.

Introduction

Philosophy as a discipline deals with the intellectual growth of humansociety as an essential process working behind the development ofhuman understanding and its problems; metaphysical, metaphoric,religio­political as well as cultural. This nature of the disciplineintegrates philosophy with the other disciplines trying to resolve theproblems of society and expands the scope of philosophy to all walksof life. The major question for world of knowledge today is how tocreate a balance between the traditional approaches to knowledge andnew challenges emerging out of fast growing world of scientific andglobalized knowledge. The question has made philosophy importantfor all methodologies, approaches and mechanisms developed for thegrowth of human knowledge.

The history of mankind reveals that there was an immense growth ofphilosophical thoughts actually working behind the rise and fall ofevery human civilization on earth. Department of Philosophy inBahauddin Zakariya University, Multan has been established torealize this importance of the discipline. The Department has acommitment to develop and promote a culture of philosophicalinsights in order to resolve the socio­political problems not only ofthe region, but also at the global level. The Department has developedan innovative scheme of studies encompassing multiple aspects ofintellectual concerns, that are helpful to resolve the current problemsof society. The Department has developed an understanding ofregional thought patterns as well as the placement of these thoughts inthe history of world philosophy.

Introduction:

The Department of Computer Engineering is established in 2004

under  the  Faculty  of Engineering  and Technology  by Bahauddin

Zakariya University, Multan. Computer Engineering programs are

accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). The modern

era has witnessed a rapid development  in computer Engineering,

both in hardware and software. Each year a host of new advancements

is  unveiled,  from  home  robotics  to  advanced  operating  systems,

microprocessors, and supercomputers with massive computational

capabilities. Computer Engineers are responsible for the design and

development of certain pieces of technology that are used every day.

From personal computers and desktops to smartphones and robotics,

these advancements in technology are meant to add convenience to

our daily lives. Computer Engineering principles can be applied to a

number of other purposes, including the development of integrated

circuits,  embedded  systems,  computer  vision,  computer  systems

architecture, and much more. Our society has become so dependent

on computers that we cannot survive without them. Also, they are

great tools for improving the human productivity. The department

is playing an important role to fulfill the demand of skilled Computer

professionals. The graduates are already serving in various esteemed

institutions across  the country and abroad and many of  them are

pursuing their higher studies in various well­regarded universities of

the world. Although the computer as a discipline is young but it has

accomplished a spectacular progress within short time. It is a common

saying that Knowledge is power; but we say that the Knowledge of

Computer is powerful. It is embarrassing all fields of knowledge and

every  discipline  is  leaned  on  computer,  even  the  doctors,  the

engineers, the historians and the politicians all are compelled to learn

the computer.

The Department of Computer Engineering copes with the modern

needs  and  its  main  objective  is  to  produce  quality  computer

professionals and software engineers to meet the emerging demands

for  national  and  international  markets.  We  have  well­designed

curriculum as per requirements of HEC and PEC. The examination

of  the  department  is  based  on  the  semester  system.  In  order  to

provide the experimental facilities to the students, the department

has well­equipped i.e., multi­media, WiFi and Computer laboratories.

The class rooms of the department also have all the modern facilities.

Currently, department is offering BSc in Computer Engineering and

IntroductionThe city of Multan is the center of cotton producing region of Southern

Punjab. There was need of an institute that could provide skilled and

technically trained manpower to the local textile industry especially one

based on cotton. The Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) in collaboration

with Multan Textile Education Trust took the initiative and founded the

Institute of Handloom and Home Textile Technology (IHHTT). They

offered  a  three  years  Diploma  of Associate  Engineering  in  textile

technology. Later in August 2004, Bahauddin Zakariya University took

over the control of the institute and a degree program of Textile Engineering

was launched. Four specializations, namely, Yarn Manufacturing, Fabric

Manufacturing, Textile Chemistry and Garments Manufacturing are being

offered.  Number  of  seats  in  4  specializations  is  varied  each  year  to

reflect the changing trends and demand in the market for textile engineering

graduates.

The syllabi have been designed to impart students firm grip not only on

engineering concepts but also to enhance management capabilities. Out

of 139 CH (47 Courses) offered, 14.4% are of Natural Sciences, 9.4%

are of Humanities and Social and Management Sciences are 8.6% and

remaining 67.6% are of Engineering.

IntroductionThe Department of Statistics is one of thepioneer departments of  theUniversity those started theirfunctioning in a rented building in GulgashtColony right from the establishment of the University in 1975. It wasshifted to “Statistics and MathematicsBlock”at the University Campusin  1987.Presently,  the  Department  is  situated  in  aseparate  building,adjacent to the older one. Despiteits very humble start, the Departmentcan now be compared with any top­ranking teaching department of thesubject  in  any  university  of  Pakistan.  The  teaching  faculty  of  theDepartment consists of twelveteachers;nine of them hold Ph.D.degreeswhile the other threeholdM.Phil. degrees and are pursuing their Ph.D.

Statistics lies at the heart of quantitative reasoning and analyses that isessential for solving problems in diverse contexts for appropriate decisionmaking.Statistical skills enable intelligent data collection, analyses andinterpretation  for  decision  support  in various  fields  e.g.,  economics,business and public policy, as well as for research and development invarious science disciplines, such as medicine, bioinformatics, forensics,image reconstruction and several others. No doubt, Statistics is the onlysubject of its own that can bridge­up many disciplines through data andanalysis. The demand for statisticians is quite high and growing fast.

To  get  flawless  connection  with  the  current  world,  we  need  a  rapidtransportation of information. This need can be fulfilled by the frequentuse of computer and emerging technology. The Department has equippedits laboratories with latest computers,multimedia projectors, scanners,and audio­visual system. These laboratories provide all the facilities forComputing Statistics, Data Processing, Computer Programming and DataAnalysis for research. Modern statistical packages/ languages like R,STATA, MINITAB, E­Views, and SPSS etc. are made available to thefaculty  members  and  researchers  in  the  computer  laboratory  of  theDepartment.

The Department is connected with the University Local Area Network(LAN)  Server,  providing  internet  facilities  to  the  teachers,  researchscholars and the students. Printing services,withhigh quality printers,are also available.

Recently,  the  Department  has  established  a  new  separate  dedicatedbuilding for its library. This library owns a variety of latest books and acollection of prominent research journals of the subject. The Departmentdoes not believe in quantity solely,therefore, good quality,expensive andrare books are also made available in the library. An audio­visual systemhas also been acquired to exhibit recorded lectures of experts of nationaland international repute to the students. Study tours of the students to

various Statistics Departments/ Institutions andOrganizations are also being arranged by theDepartment as a part of its study program tohighlight  the importance and implementationof Statistics in practical life.

To meet emerging challenges in the present eraof online knowledge­sharing and marketing, theDepartment  launched  its  own Android App,“STATBZU”  on  May  27,  2019.  This  appexplores all the main features and informationabout  the  Department  including  academicprograms, faculty, departmental activities, andlist of titles of Ph.D. theses, produced by theDepartment  etc. An  online  access  to  thecatalogue of available books in the library andjob portal are also among prominent features ofthis  app.  Thus,  the  Department  has  becomethe  pioneer  in  the  subject  in  Pakistan  afterproviding such facilities to its students.

Since its inception, the Department did nothave any alumni or association. Anorganization’s alumni are the reflection of itspast, representation of its present and a linkto its future. Now educational institutions arechanging the way they see and interact withtheir alumni community. With the advent ofSocial Media, alumni relationship has taken adifferent flavour altogether. Universities havestarted to harness the power of alumnithrough various networking platforms likeLinkedin, Facebook, Twitter, etc. by creatingtheir alumni groups and profiles on them.Keeping in view the need of time, recently,the Department of Statistics has initiated itsAlumni, that is, Zakariyan Alumni ofStatistics (ZAS). This Alumni has beenapproved by  the Competent Authority ofBZU. Now with the cooperation of theenrolling ZAS members, the ZAS would startto function in order to knit a network of theZakariyan graduates in Statistics that mayplay its vital role to meet the emerging needsin the domain of Statistics. An OnlineDirectory of the ZAS members is alsoavailable through the Departmental website(www.stat.bzu.edu.pk) and the above statedAndroid App.

Since its  inception,  the Department has beenoffering  classes  of  M.Sc.  Statistics.Over3,115students  have  been  awardedMasterofScienceinStatistics.A  regularPh.D.Program in Statistics has been going on since2005 and 32 scholars have earned their doctoratedegrees.Seven  scholarshave  submitted  theirtheses while several scholars are progressingfor their Ph.D. research work. Moreover,  theHEC awardees are also pursuing their researchhere  as  the  Department  has  HEC  accreditedsupervisors among its faculty. The Departmentstarted M.Phil.leading to Ph.D. program in 2001on  regular  basis  and  over  345students  haveearned their M.Phil. degrees.

The  Department  is  vigorously  involved  inresearch  activities  under  supervision  of  thesenior faculty members of the Department. TheDepartmentparticipates enthusiastically, in theactivities for the promotion of research in thesubject.  The  presentation  of  a  variety  ofresearch  papers,  seminars,  and  lecturesdelivered by the faculty members and studentsat  different  forums  are  the  testimony  of  itsagility.

IntroductionDepartment of Environmental Sciences has been established in June2010 keeping in view the pivotal importance of this subject inPakistan. This subject has gathered a high reputation all around theworld due to its applied nature.  Environmental science is acosmopolitan subject because it deals with various disciplines likechemistry, physics, botany, zoology, geology, geography, and publichealth etc. It focuses on the sources, reactions, transport, effects andfate of physical and biological species in the air, water and soil alongwith the effects of human activity upon these. Air, water, land, andnoise pollution constantly imperil quality of life and damage thepristine environment. World today is facing serious environmentalcrisis, for instance, increase in the heat budget of the earth, depletionof non­renewable resources, air pollution, pollution of surface &ground waters, heavy metal pollution, massive destruction of habitats,deforestation, mining, over­fishing and radiation pollution. Ecosystemof earth is very fragile, and  man’s tampering with it may, in the end,make the earth unlivable, not only for man but for all life forms.

Environmental pollution drastically reduces the productivity ofplants, and is primarily involved in causing several illnesses to thehumans: ranging from breathing disorders, cancer, stomach upset, skinallergies, cardiovascular problems, neurobehavioral ailments, kidneydamage, typhoid, hepatitis, and most of the enteric & diarrhealdiseases due to transmittance of microorganisms via the contaminatedwater. Atmospheric climate of major cities of Pakistan is also in gravedanger due to unchecked noxious emissions by motor traffic,industries and other sources. Hence, Pakistan is plagued with a

At Experimental Livestock Farms more than

one hundred and fifty heads of experimental

animals of different species have been raised

for hands­on­training of the students to equip

them    with  all  the  essential  skillsregarding

various  farm  practices  to  produce  quality

veterinarians and successfully run the livestock

business as an entrepreneurship. Dairy Farming

is  the  most  specialized  component  where

students are trained for profitable dairy farming

so that they may play their role in the economic

growth of the country by employing emerging

and innovative technologies to uplift the dairy

industry.  Rearing  the  male  calves  for  beef

production and economical use of resources for

fattening of surplus calves is another important

area  for the  training of students. Equine and

camel handling and rearing, specially horses, is

one of the main focus of DVM students. The

small ruminants (sheep and goat) section has

been  fully  established  for  demonstration  of

various husbandry practices as per international

standards to enhance the mutton production in

the  country.  Fodder  is  the  most  essential

requirement for any livestock rearing facility

and training of students regarding production

of various perennial and seasonal fodder crops

for feeding of experimental animals is one of

the  main  targets  of  this  directorate.  For  the

purpose, an area of 12 acres has been allocated

around the farms on which students are trained

about  sowing  and  cultivation  of  different

foddersto  meet  the  feeding  requirements  of

different  animals. Additionally,  an  area of  5

acres has also been developed as a pasture for

grazing of experimental animals. The Farm has

been fully mechanized in terms of agricultural

machinery including tractor, hydraulic trolleys,

fodder  cutter,  milking  machine,  cultivators,

rotavator, rear blades and ditcher etc.

Poultry  farming  has  been  shifted  from

conventional to modern environment­controlled

poultry housing systems. For  this purpose, a

fully automated state­of­the­art environment­

controlled poultry house has been developed

for rearing of laying hens. It is very helpful for

the training of students of BSc (Hons.) Poultry

Science in addition to the students of DVM for

rearing of poultry birds on modern lines with

minimal losses and high profitability.

A focus on feed processing and production is

another  important  aspect  of  DVM  and  BSc

(Hons.) Poultry Science degree programs. A feed

milling unit with feed mixing capacity of 0.5

ton  per  batchhas  also  been  installed  at

Directorate of Experimental Livestock Farms

for  this  purpose.

Dean’s Message

I am delighted to share that by the grace and mercy of Allah Almighty and with the kindness of Hon'ble Vice Chancellor Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan, Prof. Dr. Mansoor Akbar Kundi, an independent *Faculty of Food Science & Nutrition* has been established in the University. Indeed, this step of the worthy Vice Chancellor will turn up as a potential means to improve food and nutrition situation in the region. The Vice-Chancellor deserves huge applause and a sincere word of appreciation for this professional contribution. The addition of a faculty to the array of existing faculties at BZU will add value to the university's professional stature. I am confident that the worthy Vice-Chancellor would continue to support the nascent faculty with the same level of kindness to ensure its growth and expansion. It is also pertinent to mention here that the teachers and the support staff of the Institute of Food Science and Nutrition also played a key role in achieving this goal. I hope that the establishment of this faculty will not only cater for the educational needs of the local folk in the realm of Food and Nutrition but will also improve the nutritional health of the people and enhance the prestige of the university at large.

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” withsand dunes. The Western areas of the district are canal irrigated whilethe Eastern part is rain fed (Barani).  Due to diversity 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, percentagebreak­up 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 is

one 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 Sub­campus 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 4­yearsdegree program of B.Sc (Hons.) Agriculture with specialization invarious disciplines. M.Phil and Ph.D programm are also be startedwhich will hopefully help in meeting professional / skilled manpowerfor the Agriculture Sector particularly in the Southern Punjab. TheCollege has been established at the available land of Bahadur Sub­campus.

Objectives

(through CSS), Provincial Management Services (PMS/former PCS),

Media, Armed Forces (Instructors), Judiciary (after having a degree in

law as  well). Becoming a Call  Center’s  representative, or  a Content

Writer (in the context of website development) are some newly emerged

fields where our graduates are sure to have offers.

The focus of the departmental interest is English Language and Literature.

Language is considered the custodian of human knowledge. In this context,

English language is not only in of the Major languages of the world but

Western and Muslim civilization through centuries. By teaching English

of contribution of South Asian scholars to the English literature is also a

great  task which  department  has  taken  up.  This  cannot be done
