APPLY TO TIMES INSTITUTE

Chancellor's Message

 It is a matter of great pleasure to know that in order to meet the challenges of 21st century, the Government of Pakistan has introduced changes at higher education level. The present administration, in its effort to "unleash" the untapped potential of the second youngest population in the world would continue the "human capital" approach to education. Improving access and quality of educational institutions is considered essential in capturing this potential, also reinforces through its party manifesto. A national task force on education comprising experts across different sectors has been formed for this purpose. I have firm believe in a famous quote of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah i.e.

"Education is a matter of life and death for Pakistan. The world is progressing so rapidly that without requisite advance in education, not only shall we lag behind others but may be wiped out altogether."

Educational Institutions may play an important role in nation's building by promoting research, objective learning, traditions, culture and academic values. I am exultant to see the contributions made in the field of Higher Education by private sector institutions in general and particular in Southern Punjab. The Government of Punjab has adopted the policy of encouraging the private sector to come forward and establish educational institutions. More educational institutes are need of the time to meet with the challenges of the modern world for providing quality education and promoting the culture of research and development. The TIMES Institute (DAI) Multan has ample potential to meet the challenges of twenty first century and the needs of Pakistan in all walks of life.

Mission of TIMES Institute is synchronizing with higher education novel policies. The Institute has maintained active and fertile collaboration with industry and service sectors to make its programs dynamic and responsive in the ever-emerging needs of the time. I am sure that "TIMES Institute" would provide quality education to the youth of Pakistan in a stimulating and conducive learning environment. I congratulate TIMES Institute's Chairman and his team on becoming a Degree Awarding Institute (DAI). I also wish them future success.
