Fatimah Jinnah Women University
Fatimah Jinnah Women University is named in commemoration of the contributions made by "Madar-i Millat" to the cause of women's emancipation. It is housed in a building which was the old presidency and it is through this University that our heritage has been beautifully interlinked with the education of women for next millennium. The building has an architectural splendor. This gift to the nation, its daughters, and their families has been conceived and presented in an outstanding academic as well as architectural environment. As it stands, it is a symbol of the commitment of the nation to women's Education.
RMCAANA
RMCAANA was formally established and inducted as an Alumni Association of APPNA on 9th July 1998 at the 20th Annual summer meeting of APPNA at Los Angeles, California. It is heartening to know that there are more than 300 RMC Graduates residing in USA & Canada. It is only in the last decade or so that RMC graduates have started to come to the USA. Many of us felt the need to form an organization that will not only represent as a prominent group of Pakistani physicians in North America but also provide a social link between our colleagues and their families. RMCAANA was thus formed. It is a totally non political, autonomous and non profit organization. The prime goal of this association is the welfare of RMC graduates in North America. We will also make all efforts to work with other similar organizations of RMC graduates in Pakistan & other countries. We have however our own constitution and will be bound only by The bylaws of this constitution. In addition, we want to help in the uplift of medical education in Pakistan in general & RMC in particular. We hope to establish a channel through which we can donate books, audio visual aids, computers, diagnostic and therapeutic equipment to RMC. We also hope to sponsor top RMC graduates for residency training in USA.
Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi
Pakistan is predominantly an agricultural country. However, since its independence in 1947, emphasis has been on irrigated agriculture, while the dryland/arid agriculture remained neglected. With rapid increase in population the irrigated areas failed to provide food requirements and it became imperative to find out ways to make use of the huge part of culturable land in the rainfed region. In the 1970s, the Government of Pakistan constituted a Barani Commission to review and recommend measures for the development of rainfed agriculture and uplift of the poor masses through education, research, and development of technology, and manpower. Pursuant to the recommendations of the Barani Commission, the Government of Punjab established Barani Agricultural College, Rawalpindi which was later upgraded to the level of the University in 1994. The mandate of the University is to produce high-quality agricultural scientists and to form an organized scientific infrastructure for teaching and research for the development of dryland regions of the country, thus minimizing the income gap between the rich and poor.
National University of Sciences and Technology
The National University of Science and Technology, one of the new generations of Pakistani universities, has its headquarters and many of its campuses in Rawalpindi, with other campuses spread around the country, including Islamabad, Karachi and Risalpur. It is basically an engineering and technology institute and offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering, medical sciences, management sciences, and information technology.
The university is expected to move to a new location in Islamabad over the next few years.
