Introduction

I welcome the newcomers to join this premier public sector college and assure them that they will leave the college with intellectual as well as personality development, with respect for people and the environment as a useful citizen.

Educational institutions prosper because of harmony in the triangle of management, faculty and the students. If each among them recognizes its place in the triangle, the institution’s environment is peaceful, teachers teach with zeal and students learn enthusiastically. I earnestly believe that democratic values and mutual respect are the cornerstones to better educational environment, and the production of better and productive citizens. Government Postgraduate College Haripur, one of the premier institutions in the public sector of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is catering this way. Our staff and older students have adopted these values and we expect the prospective students to adopt such values. Such efforts on the part of individuals and organizations in different parts of the globe will make the world a better place to live in.

The college management and faculty are in a persistent quest to provide opportunities to students for better education with professional zeal adopting modern tools and techniques. The college has a highly qualified, motivated and ever-ready team of teachers and support staff for proper facilitation of the students. Our goal of educational achievement is students-centered with ample opportunities for personality development for the students. Students are encouraged to take part in a diverse array of co-curricular activities ranging from a multitude of competitions including games, athletics, speeches, essays, drawings, sketching, photography, drama, singing and the like. All these co-curricular activities are organized under various societies like Character Building Society, Science Society, Blood Donors’ Society and Literary Society etc.

The college has its own library with a huge collection of books, and access from within the college boundary to the newly established Hakim Abdul Salam Library. Besides books and Journals, both the libraries have internet facilities for use by the students. The college has a Wifi facility which can be accessed from anywhere within the college premises. Broadband lab, Digital Science Lab and English Language Lab are facilities for students besides the botany, chemistry, computer, physics and zoology laboratories. Students are also provided computer facilities in different departments. Recently the college has also installed video-conferencing facility which will further enhance the teaching-learning process in the college by providing opportunities to students and teachers to interact with relevant people from around the world.

The aim of complete personality development can never be achieved without a strict discipline. The management is highly committed to it and shall leave no stone unturned to ensure discipline in the college. Students are advised to observe all rules at all times. No indiscipline is tolerated at any cost.

I wish the new entrants an intellectually rewarding, physically pleasant and joyful college life for a better future for themselves, their families and all people around them. God bless all.
