CHANCELLORS MESSAGE

I
t is a matter of great pleasure and satisfaction
for me that the University of Azad Jammu &
Kashmir has completed another year in its
march towards quality higher education. UAJ&Ks
commitment to national goals has always been
tremendous, mainly due to its vital role in higher
education. The University now enjoys a respectable
place in the comity of national universities.

Role of higher education and research in the national


development needs no explanation; only education
and research can bring us at par with the advanced
countries. It is heartening to note that the university
reoriented its activities with more emphasis on top
quality research in both traditional and modern
disciplines.

The reported developments indicate the dynamicity of the University in Faculty and Management.
The Vice Chancellor and his team deserve congratulations for attaining excellence in academic and
research pursuits.

As the Chancellor, I am committed to quality education and the development of the University.
We will continue our support and patronage to the University in every possible way. I know that
promotion of education, research and related infrastructure are inter-related.

I am confident that the University will soon become one of the best universities of the country.
No doubt, this requires a lot of effort and hard work. The progress and standards achieved by the
university during the past years make me believe that all those associated with the university are
working with missionary zeal and enthusiasm.

VICE CHANCELLORS MESSAGE

I
am thankful to Almighty Allah for blessing
the University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir
with an opportunity to complete another year
in its march towards academic excellence.
The University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir was
established in 1980 with an aim to provide higher
education facilities to the people of Azad Kashmir
and the adjoining areas of Pakistan. Since its
inception, University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir is
playing a vital role in human resource development.
It is the sole affiliating public sector university
in Azad Kashmir with the authority to affiliate
educational institutions within and outside Azad
Kashmir, also acting as an examining body for them.
The University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir consists of two campuses at Muzaffarabad and Kotli
with its main administrative set-up at Muzaffarbad.

There are many academic disciplines at both the campuses for the students to choose from. These are
supported by well equipped laboratories, departmental libraries, a central library, sports facilities
and enough dormitory accommodation to house more students who need campus housing. The
university is blessed with highly committed, competent and experienced faculty, mostly holding
Ph.D. and M.Phil. qualifications. The students, coming to the university, hail from different areas
of Azad Kashmir and Pakistan. We support them in acquiring higher education in their chosen
fields. On account of its outstanding and excellent performance, the University of Azad Jammu
& Kashmir has attained a prominent position among the public sector universities of Pakistan. A
growing number of students seek admissions to the University and the enrolment of the students
has gone up from 4959 in 2010 to 5922 in 2012. Besides a large number of students graduating, 05
Ph.Ds. and 50 M.Phils. have been produced this year. Two new disciplines in postgraduate studies
Biotechnology and Education have been initiated this year. Peaceful and stimulating atmosphere
conducive to academic and research activities is prevailing over the campuses. Students and faculty
members are fully engaged in research activities involving the exploration and exploitation of

indigenous natural resources. These activities have yielded products of economic importance. In
future, public-private entrepreneurship will be encouraged to market these research projects to
generate revenue.

The University is striving hard to launch new departments. We have started four year BS degree
programmes in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Botany, Zoology, English, Economics, Education
and Sociology. AJK Medical College, Muzaffarabad has been added to the list of constituent colleges
of the University during the year 2012. We intend to start some new professional degree programmes
including Engineering Technologies in future. It is wisely said that a man without religion is a horse
without bridle, therefore, we plan to launch Islamic and Sharia faculty to equip the students with
modern as well as religious teachings. The University is focusing on the welfare of the students and
HEC sponsored need-based scholarship programme has been launched to support the deserving
but talented students.

The construction of King Abdullah Campus at Chatter Klass is in progress. With the completion
of this campus, state of the art academic and infrastructural facilities will become available to
the students. We will be in a position to provide more facilities to them. University has made
commendable progress in both graduate and postgraduate level academic programs. Every year, the
number of graduating and postgraduating students is increasing. All this has been possible through
the untiring and concerted efforts of academic and administrative staff. As a result, University has
been able to attain a better ranking position in the comity of national universities.

I wish the university rapid progress and achievements in the pursuit of learning and education.

Research and Development


R&D - An Overview
Research, the prime activity that determines the future avenue of a nation, can be both socio-
economic and academic. The former benefits the present and future of a society while the later
is linked to the intellectual progress of mankind. Universities are considered to be the hubs of
research. In our country, the HEC also relates the ranking of the university to their respective
research output. Therefore, cautious measures and well planned strategy is the need of the hour.

UAJK regards R&D as a highly significant activity and offers optimum administrative and financial
support to the researchers. The research conducted at UAJK covers both academic and applied
aspects in the areas of natural science, social science as well as the financial areas.

Projects
Funded research projects not only serve to answer many problems identified by the researchers and
various end users but also strengthen the academic departments for particular requirements.

Student Counseling and Career Guidance


A Career Counseling Society has been set up at the university level by Directorate of Students
Affairs (DSA). The society guides the candidates seeking admissions to various degree programs. In
addition, each department has its own Student Advisory committee which channelizes the students
in various professional and academic issues.

Student Career Counseling


Admissions in 4 year BS programs for academic session 2012-2016 were announced. For the sake of
admission in different disciplines, students from all over the country visit the DSA office. As most
of the new comers are unaware of the admission process, therefore, the DSA office has directed
career counseling society to guide new students regarding the admission process. For student
career counseling, the career counseling society has established a guidance camp at DSA office. The
society members have started their work under the supervision of the Amjad Bashir (the President
of the society). The camp continued to work till the last date of admission.

Chapter 14:

Office of Resource
Generation / Development
Initiatives and Implementation
It has long been recognized that academic research plays an important role in promoting
technological progress and economic growth. In particular, universities play two key roles: they
contribute to economic growth through training of skilled personnel, especially in science and
engineering; and they produce, store and disseminate research results, which form the basis for
follow-on R&D by firms.

Promotion of Research is one of the core strategic aims of UAJK. To organize the research activities
of university, the UAJK has established fully functional ORIC (Office of Research, Innovation and
Commercialization). The ORICs will provide strategic and operational support to the Universitys
research activities/program, and will have a central role in facilitating the Universitys research
outcomes.

Objectives of ORIC establishment


The objective of the establishment of the Offices of Research, Innovation and Commercialization
(ORIC) is to develop, expand, enhance and manage the universitys research programs and to
link research activities directly to the educational, social and economic priorities of the university
and its broader community. The ORIC is also responsible for ensuring that the quality of research
reflects the highest international standards and advances the stature of the university among the
worlds best research institutions.

In pursuit of this mission, the ORIC has the responsibility of guaranteeing that all research programs
and policies reflect the core values of academic freedom, professional integrity and ethical conduct
and full compliance with all policies, legal requirements and operational standards of the university.

In short, the ORIC seeks to enhance the environment for all research and learning by:

Supporting the UAJKs strategic research directions and policies

Promoting cooperative research with enterprises and pulling in more funds from governmental/
private bodies for collaborative research or teaching programs;

Vice Chancellors Annual Report
AJ&K University, Muzaffarabad

o Improving recruitment and retention of top faculty.

o Improving integration of research and education at all levels of the university

o Improving translation of research into the public benefit ORIC will also look for
Strengthening university-industry relationships by:

Promoting entrepreneurship, technology-transfer and commercialization activities that


energize and support the local and national economy

Promoting and enhancing cross-cutting and multi-disciplinary research initiatives

Acquisition of an access to up-to date equipment;

Discovering opportunities for staff and students to become familiar with state-of-the-art
industrial science and technology and management systems and enhancement of their
familiarity with the constraints of industry;

Improving interaction of higher education departments and employers for the development
and adaptation of technology oriented degree programs.

Future plans
Research in any field cannot be carried out without availability of funds. In order to make research
environment more conducive in the university, ORIC has posted a list of funding agencies on
university website. The researchers are encouraged to visit the links for funding options and making
interactions. The list is also reproduced below.
