We are already visualizing the future of higher education in the next millennium and making efforts for this purpose.

The university is now carving its path in economically important areas of research. This campus has grown both in size and quality of education. I have watched with deep interest the progress of the University of Lahore, since its inception in the year 999. From a recent review of various departments of the University, I am encouraged to see that the quality of education has been sustained by our young ad experienced faculty. In the changing scenario of instructional technology, the constructivist theory of learning has become the mainstay of the teaching-learning process. Contrary to this, for a large number of years the students have been treated as passive learners. The integration of tools of technology with education has created a different circumstance in which the learner is an active participant and is thus able to use his creative abilities for problem solving. I am pleased to know that on a fully networked campus, the teachers are making best use of this learning methodology. I believe that if this practice is sustained, then, the University will be able to add substantial value to the training of students in accordance with market needs. The university is now carving its path in economically important areas of research, especially in the field of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. The initiation of Post-Doctorate programs in this subject is likely to play an important role in the development of specialized human resource in a prospective economic field. Whereas our teachers are fully involved in the training of students, yet I find a lot of room for further improvement in student-teacher interaction inside and outside the classroom. In a University where cultural advancement is of utmost importance, it is imperative that sufficient space should be provided for extracurricular activities. This aspect should be strengthened by encouraging the students for establishing academic societies. I already see a lot of talent among the students which can be harnessed for such activities. Furthermore, I hope that as we grow, a more intense relationship can be developed between the University and the industry. This is necessary for translation of knowledge into technology. I see a bright future for the University, and wish the University great success in the times to come. Prof. Dr. M. H. Qazi Vice Chancellor The roots of the University of Lahore are embedded in its Islamabad Campus where it was founded in 998.After the establishment of Lahore Campus, which now is the main Campus, and grant of Charter as University in 00, the embryo of a multi- disciplinary University has come to fruition. In pursuit of academic excellence, the University developed its core values at Islamabad Campus. The purpose- built Campus of Islamabad has since grown both in size and stature at a steady and healthy pace. Supported by competent and experienced faculty as well as the required infrastructure, at this Campus the students are getting good education at an affordable cost. As the time passes, we will continue to build and expand the physical infrastructure as well as the academic strength. In pace with the addition of new infrastructure and under a well-defined road map, new disciplines are being gradually added. Last year, on completion of new academic block and laboratories, fresh programs of BS in Mechanical Engineering, Doctor of Physical therapy (DPT) and Doctor of Dietetics and nutritional Sciences (DDNS) were successfully launched. This year new program of Doctor of Medical Lab Sciences (DMLS), which has already matured at Lahore Campus, shall be opened for admissions in the Fall Semester. All programs of the University are accredited by the respective Councils. It gives me pleasure to welcome fresh students and faculty to Islamabad Campus, having conducive and congenial learning environment. Brig. (R) Muhammad Ajai President Islamabad Campus message
