7 INTRODUCTION Pakistan is predominantly an agricultural country. However, since its independence in 1947, emphasis has been on irrigated agriculture, while the dryland / arid agriculture remained neglected. With increase in population of the country food requirements increased and it became imperative to manage and make use of the huge part of cultureable land in the rainfed region. In the 1970s, the Government of Pakistan constituted a Barani Commission to review and recommend measures for the development of rainfed agriculture and uplift of the poor masses through education, research and development of technology and manpower for arid areas of Pakistan. Pursuant to the recommendations of the Barani Commission, the Government of Punjab established Barani Agricultural College, Rawalpindi which was later elevated to the level of the University in The mandate of the University is to produce high-quality agricultural scientists and to form an organized scientific infrastructure for teaching and research for the development of arid areas of the country, thus minimizing the income gap between the rich and poor and irrigated & arid areas. The University consists of Faculty of Crop and Food Sciences, Faculty of Forestry, Range Management & Wildlife, Faculty of Veterinary & Animal Sciences and Faculty of Sciences, Directorate of Advanced Studies, Directorate of Planning & Research, Student Resource Centre, Quality Enhancement Cell, University Institute of Management Sciences (UIMS), University Institute of Information Technology (UIIT) and Division of Continuing Education, Home Economics and Women Development. The University has also a sub-campus established at Khushab. In addition, the University has a research farm at Mandra, Chakwal Road, as well as Hydroponic green houses and a veterinary hospital near Rawat. The University offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the disciplines of Agriculture, Veterinary Science, Biological & Social Sciences, Forestry Range Management and Wildlife, Management Sciences, Information Technology and Education. Pursuit of excellence on the University campus is a function of competent and dedicated university faculty. The PMAS Arid Agriculture University has, therefore, made constant efforts at staff development with the result that nearly 48% of the faculty possesses Ph.D. degrees, while the others have M. Sc. (Hons.) and M. Phil degrees. The University is open to all persons regardless of religion, race, creed, class or colour and no one is deprived of the benefits accruing from the University on any such grounds. The University is located in Rawalpindi almost in the center of the twin cosmopolitan cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the capital of the country. They are situated in the northern part of Pakistan on the Pothowar plateau in the Province of Punjab. 7

8 These cities are beautiful towns located in the foothills with a blend of old and new cultures and constructions. The towns provide pollution free environment, scenic Pothowar vegetation and topography of plateau land. The University building with its most beautiful Architectural design in the twincities is situated on Murree Road, close to the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, where transport is frequently available, which provides the university an easy approach from all parts of the twin-cities at all hours of the day. This facility and busy nature of the area allows the University to continue its curricular and co-curricular activities till late in the evening. The University building contains an auditorium, multi-storied administrative block, a library, and four multi-storied academic blocks. The central location of the university places it in proximity to major institutions of higher learning and research like Pakistan Agricultural Research Council (PARC), National Agricultural Research Center (NARC), National Institute of Health (NIH), Pakistan Museum of Natural History (PMNH), Rawalpindi Medical College, Poultry Research Institute, Fisheries Research & Training Institute, International Institute for Biological Control of the Common Wealth and Agency for Barani Areas Development (ABAD). The location of University also allows the utilization of expertise scattered in the twin cities for providing quality education by teachers/executives in fields of their specialization. Collaborative research and teaching programmes are being developed with these institutions for better teaching and research facilities for the students. The university has signed MoUs with Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, Islamabad, National Veterinary Laboratory, Agricultural University of Hebei, China; International Centre for Agricultural Research in Dryland Areas (ICARDA), Syria, IBAF, Italy and Federal Seed Certification and Registration Department to assist each other in teaching, research and extension activities. University Organization: The Syndicate is the highest executive body of the University while the Academic Council, the University Selection Board, the Finance and Planning Committee and Advanced Studies and Research Board are advisory bodies to the Syndicate pertaining to their respective functions and responsibilities. Governor of the Punjab is the Chancellor of the University. The Vice Chancellor is the Chief Executive of the University.

24 9. ARID AGRICULTURE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FARM CHAKWAL ROAD University Research Farm is situated on Mandra-Chakwal Road, 6 km short of Dudial. This is a compact piece of fertile land of 236 acres purchased by the University in February Ecologically, farm location is representative of most of rain-fed area of Potowar tract. Since experimental area at main University Campus was left to only 13 acres, it was on the top of priority list of the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Khalid Mahmood Khan, S.I. to arrange a large university farm for research purposes, field demonstration and seed multiplication. However, to manage funds and to find out large area of land in Rawalpindi region was not an easy task. But, where there is a will there is a way. The Vice Chancellor was able to arrange sufficient funds for this purpose and he along with his dedicated team succeeded in acquiring a large farm for the University. Soon after taking over the land, the university set aside funds for the farm staff and machinery and the work on farm lay out, research studies and crop production got started. During October 2007, the Vice Chancellor was again successful in getting a Mega Project worth Rs. 343 millions from Higher Education Commission, Islamabad, for the development of on-farm research facilities for faculty and students. Seven field labs, three glasshouses, one greenhouse (Chinese Style), one farming tunnel and an administration block have been established at the farm through this Project. A veterinary hospital is under construction which on completion would provide facilities like indoor and outdoor clinics, obstetrics/gynecology, semen evaluation and cryopreservation laboratories. In addition to the access of students and teachers, the facilities will also be available to the local farming community. 10. HYDROPONICS PROJECT (FARMERS MARKET PVT. LIMITED, MANDRA ROAD, RAWAT) Farmers Market (Pvt.) Ltd (FMP) is an R&D Project of Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (Pakistan), for Hydroponic production of vegetables over an area of acres which is located at village Kalyam Mughal on G.T Road, 7 km short of Mandra, District Rawalpindi. FMP which is ISO 9001:2000 and certified, is producing Hydroponically grown pesticide free vegetables especially Tomatoes in 3 different varieties and Capsicum in 3 different colours. Besides, R&D, the project is now in position to export Tomatoes abroad to Middle Eastern Countries and thus earning foreign exchange, and adding to the Revenue of Pakistan.
