FATA UNIVERSITYDARRA ADAM KHEL, NMD KOHAT
First Ever Public Sector University in Tribal Districts
of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Formerly Known as FATA)
It gives me a great pleasure to serve as the first Vice Chancellor of this newly established FATA
University. After assuming the charge as a Vice Chancellor, I made strong commitment that I
will leave no stone unturned in paving the foundation of this University on strong footings.
This can only be possible if I was succeeded in having a team of devoted, intellectual, talented
and competent faculty and staff. I would, therefore, welcome everyone who is committed to
support me in this cause. I will try my best to attract and retain outstanding faculty and staff to
serve this University to their best. As a Vice Chancellor, I am deeply committed to provide our
students with the finest education and a supportive learning environment.
The University has been established with an objective to impart higher quality and technical
education to the Pakistani students without giving any consideration to sex, religion, creed,
cast, race, class, color and domicile. In compliance with the objectives of the FATA University
Regulations 2013, due to its infancy and limited space some traditional and professional
courses are being offered initially at the Government Degree College, Darra Adem Khel,
Kohat. However, with the development of our own campus at Darra Adem Khel with an
impressive infrastructure, I am determined to introduce more new and innovative courses
with the support of dedicated and dynamic teachers. In order to provide the quality higher
education facilities to the students of the tribal districts of erstwhile FATA, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa at their door steps, the establishment of Sub-Campuses of FATA University at
all the tribal districts are also planned in future.
I am confident that in the next decade or so, surmounting all sorts of hurdles, it will be the first
and sole university in the erstwhile FATA, which will be grown into a dynamic degree awarding
institution engaged itself in capacity building, in terms of infrastructure and human resource
development.
I am striving to make the FATA University a model educational institute where the students will
have quality education and training that will open new avenues for the betterment of their
future. It is hoped that the FATA University will attract the students from all the tribal districts
of erstwhile FATA, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and also from the other parts of the country. My
dreams can come true, if the intelligentsia of the country come forward and joins hands with
us in making this University an institution where the advance level quality education and
research flourish and where the fruit of knowledge resonate through the society.
Prof. Dr. M. Tahir Shah (T.I)

IntroductionHistorically, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) is situated along the northwestern boarder of Pakistan. It is having international frontier “Durand Line” which has been a focus of international politics throughout decades due to its geo-strategic position and economic potential.

Realizing multi-dimensional importance of the region, the Government of Pakistan has established the FATA University. In this academic mechanism, the Department of Political Science has been established with a purpose to enlighten the students of FATA with a modern approach of political studies to reform the existing available academic information regarding the subject.

IntroductionThis department is committed to impart research and field work oriented education to the students by involving them in carrying out research in those areas which are sociologically significant. Sociology as a science and a full-fledged discipline has emerged not more than a century ago. It can be more simply articulated as a “Science of Society”, which aims at the exploration of the social dynamics. It demonstrates no negligence while studying each and every activity that falls in the domain of a society. Until recently the significance of Sociology has consistently been escalating and on a demand to be a focusing and highlighting discipline of the various intricate social problems and issues that have arisen out due to the onslaught of the broader modernization and Globalization processes.

IntroductionEnglish serves as the official language of Pakistan. Its significance can be gauged by the fact that it is a compulsory subject in all the BS Programs the BS level. Its importance also lies in the fact that a sound understanding of English can benefit students in every walk of life be it personal or professional. However, the understanding of this subject especially in its reading and writing domain has not been of the quality one would desire in an intermediate student in FATA. Thus to fill this gap, the starting of English Department at the FATA University was considered a necessity.
