Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan, Governor of Sindh and Chancellor of Sindh Madressatul Islam University has said that Sindh Madressatul Islam University, which is the Alma Mater of founder of Pakistan and its first governor general Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is successfully moving forward with its new character and mission following the ideology of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The achievements of the university will certainly benefit the nation as a whole and the country.

Addressing the 4th Anniversary of Sindh Madressatul Islam University's grant of charter on Tuesday evening at inner courtyard of the Main Building of SMIU, Governor Sindh said that today he feels honored by visiting the Alma Mater of Founder of Pakistan and consider the SMIU a national institute and national asset, which has been preserved and developed accordingly.

He said that no doubt, it is the Vice Chancellor Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh, who has made it a modern and quality university of the country within shortest period of four years. Thus, this example must be followed by other universities of the country.

Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan further said that establishment of an institution is not a difficult job, but to run it in right direction, with dedication, is the real job, which is being fulfilled by SMIU under the leadership of Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh.


Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan said that today he is satisfied and happy that the university, to which he had given charter four years back on February 16, 2012, has proved itself one of the best universities of the country. Remembering the day of signing charter of SMIU, the Governor Sindh said that it was his desire to give university status to his own Alma Mater Dow Medical College and Sindh Madressatul Islam University and establish a Law University in Sindh. And he succeeded to do all three.

Governor Sindh further said that today our country needs quality universities that can produce experts in all walks of life. To achieve such objectives, generally, universities of Pakistan and specially universities of Sindh must be made quality and result oriented institutes. "It is my wish that our universities should reach to a level that our students prefer to get education from their own universities rather than looking towards foreign universities," Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan said and added that the government and he are working on the same line for quality higher education.

Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan congratulated Vice Chancellor, faculty, staff members, students and also the whole nation on completion of four years to SMIU.
