bout the University

University of Malakand is one of the public Sector universities of North West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P), Pakistan. The University was established through a charter issued by the Governor N-W.F.P. on August 30th, 2001 and is recognized by the Higher Education Commission (formerly UGC), Islamabad. The University has been working sincerely towards the attainment of excellence as well as character-building; and to inculcate in its students the spirit of inquiry, research, dedication and zeal, so that they will be able to bring prosperity in the country. In this way we can walk along the developed nations with honour and pride. With dedication and devotion, we can revive the memories of the city of Cordova, known as Madinat-ul-Ilm in Muslim Spain, which remained the cradle of knowledge and research for centuries Europe also looked up to it for the acquisition of knowledge.

History

Thirst for knowledge has been spoken of as the last infirmity of noble minds. Great minds can give up all but not their yearning for knowledge. When the ruling and the ruled both have the same feelings and the same thirst for knowledge it gives birth to a strong desire which ultimately culminates in the formation of great institutions. University of Malakand, the dream, the most needed urgently required necessity of the people of the area now exists in reality. It is actually one of the highest achievements of the genius of its founding father, Ex-governor N-W.F.P, Lt. G. (Rt.) Syed iftikhar Hussain Shah. He laid brick after brick to build this palace; passed law after law to frame a mighty code provide it with a solid foundation. To establish a University at Malakand was really a task. It is said that behind every event, there is present a intelligent mind which guides and directs the affairs. It can be said without hesitation that behind all those events, which have led to establishment and stentorian Prof. Dr. Jehandar Shah. He is the person rightly chosen for the right job. Under his thorough guidance the university staff is thriving to design the future of our nation. No doubt, many obstacles are there, but they melt before their courage thus making their path smooth. But those paragons should never be forgotten who worked all the way for the establishment of this splendid beacon of light, which will always be showering the rays of wisdom and knowledge upon the people will widen their hearts and minds.

The demand for the university in Malakand Division had been a felt need since 1972 but due to political polarization and “ inter Districts Antagonism” the idea could not be materialized till 2001. Various political parties had their own interests and every member tired to seek the credit for himself. Credit goes to iftikhar hussain Shah who gave the idea of establishing a University at present site. After consultation with the PIDC high-ups, he formally announced the establishment of the university in August 2001. in this regard, the services of his advisor Prof. Dr. Lutfullah Kakakahel will never be forgotten. After the announcement some legal points were raised by the provincial law Department regarding establishment a University in the PATA (Provincially Administered Tribal Area). The issue was resolved by the then governor N.W.F.P by recommending the case to the president of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan who was kind enough in allowing the University through a presidential Order / Regulation. Hence, in a sense this is the only University in Pakistan chartered / established by the highest seats of power in the country. The provincial Government, through a Gazette Notification No P-III dated 27.10.2001 (Extraordinary) formally announced a University for Malakand Division on the Premises of the defunct D.F.I.C. at Chakdara.

NASA Launches Students into Orbit

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage...

Grant Attracts Minorities to STEM Fields

The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an...
