As per the directives from the honorable Governor Balochistan Justice(R) Amanullah Khan Yasinzai and Chief Minister Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan Alyani, a preliminary survey of the area was conducted and the concept of establishing a Sub Campus in Panjgur was found to be feasible. A PC-1 has been prepared and submitted to the Government of Balochistan for approval. The University of Turbat also sent formal requests to the Divisional and District administration for allocation of temporary building & allotment of land for the campus.

The University of Turbat in the leadership of the Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Abdul Razzaq Sabir and with the dedicated faculty and admin staff continues its success stories. After establishing a Sub Campus at Gwadar in September 2016, the management of the University of Turbat had decided to establish the 2nd Sub Campus of UoT at Panjgur in 2019, keeping in view the very fertile grounds for higher education in district Panjgur. The UoT management had also decided to start academic activities in Panjgur Campus from 15th March 2020 after fulfilling all legal formalities and pre-requisites. The advertisement to fill various academic and administrative positions was published in November 2019 in various daily newspapers.

As a matter of fact, on receipt of directives from the Governor’s Secretariat, the University of Turbat had carried out a detailed visit of District Panjgur on 1st December 2018 and discussed the matter with all stakeholders as well as the authorities of the District Administration. It was the collective opinion of all stakeholders that a Sub Campus of the University of Turbat should be established in Panjgur as early as possible. The team also visited an un-utilized portion of Government Boys Degree College Panjgur, which was very suitable for the Sub Campus in the initial stage.
