The Department of Pakistan Studies came into existence
as a result of bifurcation of the Department of History and Pakistan Studies on
June 04, 1998. The Department of History and Pakistan Studies was established in
1976. Initially a diploma course in Pakistan Studies was introduced which was
up-graded into a full-fledged M.A. Programe in 1987.
The subject of Pakistan Studies is interdisciplinary and
encompasses various aspects of Pakistan’s history and culture. The main purpose
of M.A. in Pakistan Studies is to provide an in-depth understanding of Pakistan.
