Overview and history

The University of Chitral was established in the District Chitral by the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in 2017. The university was founded in response to a notification issued by the Higher Education, Archives and Libraries Department of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, bearing the reference number SO(UE-II)3-1/2017 and dated March 31, 2017. [2]

Before the inception of the University of Chitral, there were two university campuses operating in the district Chitral which were the sub-campuses of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University, Sheringal and Abdul Wali Khan University Mardan. [3] Due to a steady increase in student enrollment across these campuses over time, the demand for academic amenities witnessed a substantial surge. The existing academic, research, and residential infrastructure were not enough to cater for the actual requirements of all the students. This circumstance prompted the imperative for the establishment of a full-fledged university in Chitral. The residents of Chitral had long been advocating for the establishment of a fully-fledged university within the region. Responding to this demand, the University of Chitral was founded in 2011. [4]

University of Chitral will act as a "regional educational corridor" for Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia via Wakhan Strip, Gilgit Baltistan and Gilgit-Chitral, Dir, Malakand alternate CPEC Route. [5]
