University of the
Punjab, Lahore
The University of the
Punjab was formally established with the convening of the first meeting of its
Senate on October 14, 1882 at Simla.
The University of the
Punjab was formally established with the convening of the first meeting of its
Senate on October 14, 1882 at Simla. It was the fourth University to be
established by the British colonial authorities on the Indian Subcontinent. The
first three universities were established by the British rulers at their
initial strongholds of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta. The University of the
Punjab came into existence as a result of a long drawn struggle of the people
of Punjab after the war of independence in 1857. Contrary to the three
previously established universities, which were only examining institutions,
the University of the Punjab was both teaching as well as examining body right
from the beginning.
The contribution of Dr. G. W. Leitner, an enlightened Hungarian and a naturalized Britisher, was instrumental in the establishment of this University. He became its first Registrar. Prof. A. C. Woolner, who remained Vice-Chancellor of this University during 1928-1936, played a key role in its development during the initial decades of this century. His statue still stands in front of the Allama Iqbal Campus of the University.
Until independence in 1947 The University of the Punjab fulfilled the educational needs of a vast region of the Subcontinent. Partition of the Subcontinent somewhat reduced the geographical limits of the jurisdiction of the University. However, for many years after independence it still ranged over vast areas including Punjab, NWFP, Baluchistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. New universities were set up later in the country to share responsibility for imparting higher education with the University of the Punjab.
The strength of the University Faculty was greatly reduced because of the migration of non-Muslim teachers and scholars at the time of independence. The University functioning was restored, mainly due to the efforts of the eminent educationists like Dr. Umar Hayat Malik, who became the first Vice Chancellor after the independence. Academic programs were initiated soon after the independence many new departments.
The University of the Punjab was given its initial impetus
by Wood's
despatch in 1854. Gottlieb
Wilhelm Leitner was the founder of the university. Contrary to
the three previously established universities, which were only examining
institutions, the University of the Punjab was both teaching as well as
examining body right from the beginning.
From its formation in 1882 until 1947, the University of
the Punjab served the educational needs of the entire region of pre-independence Punjab and
northern India. Mohindra College, Patiala was the first
college of higher learning to affiliate with University of Punjab in 1882;
followed by St. Stephen's College, Delhi. The independence of Pakistan in 1947
reduced the geographical jurisdiction of the university, as it was split into
two separate universities in the respective countries. The Indian portion of
the university is referred to as Panjab University, Chandigarh, India. The current Institute of Administrative
Sciences was created in 1962.
Many major institutions that were previously affiliated
to Punjab University have now become independent universities on their own,
such as Government College University, Lahore and
Medical and Engineering Colleges.
