MESSAGES
Sardar Saleem Haider Khan
Governor Punjab
Through the divine revelation ordaining Read by the Name of your Creator,’
Almighty ALLAH emphasized the paramount importance of education for all, particularly for the Muslim Umma. This mandate underscores that academic excellence is not only a legacy of our religion but also pivotal for societal advancement. In today’s challenging era, nations are revived through the pursuit of modern knowledge and excellence.
Establishing institutions of higher learning that meet international standards requires substantial investment. Given the constraints on public finances, the Government of Pakistan has wisely encouraged the private sector to play a crucial role in bridging the educational gap. Private institutions of higher learning are globally recognized for their significant contribution to community welfare.
The establishment of the University of Southern Punjab (USP) in Multan, a region with historically low literacy rates, is commendable. It reflects the private sector’s proactive response to the demand for higher education. USP has dutifully committed itself to maintaining academic excellence through a curriculum that is not only stimulating and practical but also research focused and geared towards job readiness.
USP’s management is entrusted with the responsibility of equipping students with knowledge and skills that will enable them to excel in today’s fiercely competitive world. Through collaborations with local and international universities, USP continues to evolve its infrastructure, curriculum, and teaching methodologies to keep pace with the rapid advancements in technology.
I extend my sincere prayers and best wishes for USP’s continued progress and success. May it overcome challenges with resilience and steadfastly meet the educational needs of our nation.
