Vice Chancellor Message

Professor Dr. Anila Kamal

Located at the base of Ganga Peak of Pir Panjal Range of the lower Himalayas, in the beautiful city of Bagh Azad Kashmir, the first Women University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir was established in 2014 to provide quality higher education to women. Women University of AJ&K Bagh (WUB) continues to flourish rapidly as per the standards of internationally recognized institutions through research policies and facilities with view to grow student community and diversified academic disciplines. As part of its mission to contribute to regional and national development, the University focuses on the empowerment of women through high-quality education, professional training, and leadership development. Currently, there are 17 academic departments in the University with three faculties and an overall students’ strength of around 2600 offering them an array of undergraduate, MS/MPhil and doctoral degree programs. The WUB intend to enhance student strength by focusing on quality education, digital transformation, innovative labs, international collaborations, scholarships, and research initiatives building partnerships with academia, industry, and government. As Vice Chancellor I am determined to foster an environment of intellectual growth and innovation to promote the institutions overall efficiency and to empower Women. Soon we will inaugurate new buildings of Administration, Academic Block, Cafeteria and others at Bani Pasari where 2054 Kanals have been designated by AJ&K Govt. for WUB. Utilizing prior experience of being Vice Chancellor of Rawalpindi Women University Rawalpindi, I am confident to establish community of change makers and entrepreneurs who would be able to develop business ideas, gain financial literacy, and access incubation support-preparing them to be job creators, not just job seekers. Moreover, I am committed to fostering intellectual growth, personal development, and moral integrity among students, preparing them to become transformational leaders with strong ethical and cultural values. Students in WUB will be encouraged to play an active role in community engagement and social betterment through effective teaching practices and updated curriculum that will lead to socially conscious generation of future women leaders who will contribute to national development and address global issues. I belief with clear vision and sincere endeavors we would bring productive outcome to make us realize our ambition to be recognized as one of the leading institutions of Pakistan.
