Introduction

Knowledge is dynamic and in this ever-changing world, science and technology are advancing at an astonishing rate. Computer along with its gigantic and yet growing global network has paved the way for even rapid advancement. Such a change has introduced a new face of learning regarding computers, internet, cyber classrooms, online courses, digital libraries, video conferencing and so forth. Therefore, there was a growing need that education courses in our country in general and in our province in particular, must be upgraded to keep pace with the fast moving world. Higher Education Commission (HEC) in collaboration with Higher Education Department, KPK has finally taken a bold step in the right direction by introducing Bachelor of Studies (BS) 4-Years Degree program in the colleges. In fact Higher Education Department of our province has worked hand in hand with the HEC to bring about this vital change, though gradually and steadily. Those efforts have proved fruitful and now, Alhamdulillah, here at Govt. Degree College No. 1 D. I. Khan, several BS departments are fully functional and other BS departments are expected to open in the near future.

BS program is a big leap into the future. It has taken Higher Education in our province to such a level that our BS graduates will now be able to compete internationally without any hurdle.

However, it is the job of both teachers and students to take full advantage of the advanced courses of BS program and implement them in true letter and spirit. This challenge demands extraordinary diligence, devotion, hard work and perseverance both on part of the teachers as well as the students.

May Allah help us all so that we might serve our country sincerely and with dedication.
