History

The University of Gujrat (UoG) has its historical roots in a college established in 1949 at the Kaidar Nath Haveli. [7] The college, inaugurated by Fatima Jinnah, was initially a women's college with Begum Surraya Saleem as its first principal. [7] The haveli, erected in 1905 by Lala Kaidar Nath, a notable Hindu magistrate of Gujrat, encompassed an area of four kanals and 19 marlas and featured 25 rooms. [7] Noteworthy for its architectural significance, the building was one of the notable structures in the region. [7] Lala Kaidar Nath, who died in the 1935 Quetta earthquake, was known for his charitable activities. His family migrated to India in 1947. [7]

The college came under the administration of the education department in 1952. [7]

In 2004, the University of Gujrat was officially established on the land donated by Hafiz Muhammad Hayat. [8]

In 2005, a restoration project, led by the district government and archaeology department, aimed to preserve the building's original structure. [7] The college underwent a name change by the then education minister, Mian Imran Masood, becoming the Government Fatima Jinnah College for Women. [7] Subsequently, the college building was incorporated into the University of Gujrat. [7]

In 2006, the Punjab government declared the Kaidar Nath Haveli as UoG's first campus. [7] With the university's move to a new campus at Hafiz Hayat village in July 2007, the haveli was designated as the university's old campus. [7]
