CM's Message

Provision of quality higher education to the talented youth of the province at their door steps has been one of the top priorities of our government. We have not only strengthened the existing universities but established new ones on need basis. These endeavors will go a long way

to produce highly skilled human resources in the province. As an agricultural country, our livelihood, national economy, growth and development are for the most part dependent upon agriculture. Owing to its peculiar agro climatic conditions, Swat is considered as the fruit basket of Pakistan. Despite the blessed abundance of the natural and human resources. The farmers of Malakand Division in particular and KP in general are yet to attain the level of prosperity matching its potential. It is a matter of immense pleasure and satisfaction for me that with the establishment of University of Agriculture Swat (UAS), the talented youth of the area will now have access to the latest technelogies in the fields of sustainable agriculture, water and soil management, agro-forestry, agri-business and agro-tourism etc. Envision UAS as a center of excellence arid a beacon of light in the field of agriculture not only for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan but th entire country and beyond as well. I hope and pray that graduates of the UAS will play a vital role in the development and uplift of the nation.

Research

The Agriculture is considered to be the backbone of Pakistan's economy and is an inevitable and integral part which ensures food security and economic up rise of the country. We provide on campus field research under the supervision of qualified staff in agriculture, entomology, plant breeding & genetics and soil sciences.

VC Message

No doubt there is a growing realization at the policy level that the only way forward for progress and prosperity of the nation is a well thought transition to the knowledge economy. The setting of national priorities in this context increases the significance of the higher education sector in the country. Universities, today, are expected to deliver not only in the core areas of teaching research but

also have to respond to the demands posed by challenges of socio-economic and cultural progress.I am highly indebted to Allah almighty for giving me the opportunity to serve in the higher education sector and feel honored to serve in the capacity of Vice Chancellor of The University of Agricultural Swat. With a deep rooted believe that that the only solution to our chronic and deep rooted economic and social issues lies in imparting quality education and skills, UoAS is striving hard to achieve the envisioned level of academic and research excellence with specific focus on mountain agriculture, integrated rural development and challenges posed by climate changes. As a strong advocate of team work and with Service to the Society as our core value, we believe that with innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration with national and international institutions working in the areas of NRM we can contribute in enhancing agricultural productivity and improving livelihood. Apart from training of our graduates in professional and technical aspects of their respective degree programs, we are equally stressing inculcation of desired values so as to groom them as productive and dignified citizens and leaders.
