HISTORY

The establishment of GGDC Khanpur, Haripur was first time announced in the year 2010-11. Sufficient funds were also allocated for the building construction but due to non-availability of suitable land for a Girls College the establishment process delayed. Then in 2014 once again the proposal was considered but turned down on the same ground of non-availability of suitable land. By this the chief planning Officer put up a proposal to the Secretary Higher Education to utilize the Hostel of GDC Khanpur as GGDC Khanpur till the construction of its own building but due to unknown reasons this proposal could not be implemented. In the session 2014-15 some of the female students got admission in the GDC Khanpur which was strongly opposed at some quarters and for the next session the Principal of GDC Khanpur was directed not to admit the female students however, the already admitted students were allowed to continue their studies. In July 2016 the new Principal took charge of the college who faced public pressure for the admission of their girls in the boys college because there was no girls college in the area. The new Principal proposed for the implementation of already approved proposal of CPO and assured full cooperation till the construction of new Girls College. Due to public pressure the female students were again allowed to seek admission in boy’s college. Mist. Nusrat Perveen, a social worker of the area was leading the struggle for establishment of GGDC Khanpur. In the same year Govt: of KPK announced to convert the FEF Girls colleges to Govt: Girls colleges. As a result of the struggle of general public lead by Mist. Nusrat Parveen the FEF Girs college Khanpur converted to GGDC Khanpur and shifted to present building i.e; Hostel of GDC Khanpur as proposed by the then CPO and the sitting Principal of GDC Khanpur on 23^rd may 2017. He is also working as DDO till the arrival of regular Principal of the College. The building has been renovated and made suitable for the Girls College.
