University of Gujrat

Computer code The University of Gujrat (UOG) is a public university located in Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan. It was established in 2004. History The University of Gujrat (UoG) has its historical roots in a college established in 1949 at the Kaidar Nath Haveli. The college, inaugurated by Fatima Jinnah, was initially a women's college with Begum Surraya Saleem as its first principal. The haveli, erected in 1905 by Lala Kaidar Nath, a notable Hindu magistrate of Gujrat, encompassed an area of four kanals and 19 marlas and featured 25 rooms. Noteworthy for its architectural significance, the building was one of the notable structures in the region. Lala Kaidar Nath, who died in the 1935 Quetta earthquake, was known for his charitable activities. His family migrated to India in 1947. The college came under the administration of the education department in 1952. In 2004, the University of Gujrat was officially established on the land donated by Hafiz Muhammad Hayat. This land was initially owned by Rai Bular Bhatti, a Muslim ruler of Talwandi, who donated this land for spiritual and religious purposes in 1575. In 2005, a restoration project, led by the district government and archaeology department, aimed to preserve the building's original structure. The college underwent a name change by the then education minister, Mian Imran Masood, becoming the Government Fatima Jinnah College for Women. Subsequently, the college building was incorporated into the University of Gujrat. In 2006, the Punjab government declared the Kaidar Nath Haveli as UoG's first campus. With the university's move to a new campus at Hafiz Hayat village in July 2007, the haveli was designated as the university's old campus.
