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
5
Vice Chancellors Annual Report
AJ&K University, Muzaffarabad
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.

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.
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:
Promoting cooperative research with enterprises and pulling in more funds from governmental/
private bodies for collaborative research or teaching programs;
95
Vice Chancellors Annual Report
AJ&K University, Muzaffarabad
o Improving translation of research into the public benefit ORIC will also look for
Strengthening university-industry relationships by:
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.
