DR. AQ KHAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MIANWALI
TECHNOLOGICAL
AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN THE FOREMOST REQUIREMENT FOR A DEVELOPING
COUNTRY LIKE PAKISTAN, IN PARTICULAR FOR ITS REMOTE/LESS DEVELOPED
REGIONS LIKE MIANWALI AND ADJIONING RURAL AND SEMI URBAN AREAS. KEEPING
THIS BACKGROUND IN MIND, DR. AQ KHAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IN
MIANWALI HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENT TO FULLY
CAPITALISE ON THE LOCALLY AVAILABLE RESOURCES OF THE REGION WITH THE
HELP OF QAULIFIED AND SKILLED MANPOWER. BESIDE, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
SUCH INSTITUTE IN MIANWALI WAS HIGHLY OPTIMAL BECAUSE NATURE HAS ENDOWED
THE REGION WITH ENORMOUS RESOURCES LIKE FINE QUALITY SAND, CLAY, COAL
AND OTHER MINERALS WHICH ARE USED IN MANUFACTURING OF GLASS, CERAMICS,
CHEMICAL, CEMENT ETC. AND THESE MINERAL RESOURCES CAN BE FURTHER
EXLOITED. THE AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT OF THE REGION CAN ALSO BE MAXIMIZED IF
TECHNICAL/TRAINED MANPOWER IS AVAILABLE IN THE RELEVANT AREAS. THE
INSTITUTE THEREFORE AIMS THAT ANY PERSON WHO QUALIFIES FROM THE
INSTITUTE SHOULD BE READILY ABSORBED IN THE CHEMICAL, PHARMACEUTICAL,
CEMENT, TEXTILE AND FERTILIZER INDUSTRIES AS WELL AS PUBLIC SECTOR
PROJECTS LIKE CHASHMA ANS WAPDA ETC. AND THUS MEET THE TECHNICAL HUMAN
RESOURCE NEEDS OF NOT ONLY THIS REGION BUT THAT OF THE ENTIRE COUNTRY
WHERE EVER REQUIRED.
DR. AQ KHAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY MIANWALI AIMS NOT ONLY TO SERVE THE
LOCAL POPULATIONOR ANY PARTICULAR ETHNIC/CREED/TRIBE OF MIANWALI BUT
ITS BENEFICIARIES WILL ENCOMPASS A BULK OF ENTIRE SOUTHERN REGION OF
PUNJAB AS WELL AS ADJOINING AREAS OF N.W.F.P.
CAMPUS LOCATION AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES
THE
INSTITUTE SPREADS OVER AN AREA OF ALMOST 25 ACRES CONTRIBUTED BY LOCAL

IS SITED IN THE MIDST OF THE UNSPOILT AND NATURE-RICH COUNTRYSIDE OF
MIANWALI, IN CHAH MIANA LOCATED AT A DITANCE OF ABOUT 14 KILOMETERS FROM
MIANWALI TOWN. THE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION WORK HAS SINCE BEEN COMPLETED
TO START THE BASIC FUNCTIONING. AN AREA OF ABOUT 15 ACRES HAS BEEN
EARMARKED FOR MAIN ACADEMIC BUILDING, WORKSHOPS AND HOSTELS WHERE AS A
LAND-MASS OF ABOUT 10 ACRES HAS BEEN RESERVED FOR PROVIDING THE
RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES TO THE TEACHING FACULTY/STAFF. BESIDES THESE, THE
INSTITUTE WILL HAVE A LIBRARY WITH ULTIMATE CAPACITY OF AT LEAST
100,000 BOOKS AND MAGAZINES, EQUIPPED WITH THE STATE OF ART FACILITIES.
AN AUDITORIUM WITH A SEATING CAPACITY OF 700, A CAFETERIA TO CATER FOR
300 STUDENTS, A WELL-EQUIPPED GYMNASIUM AND A COMPLETE MEDICAL UNIT ETC
