It gives me immense pleasure to convey this message as it symbolizes the beginning of a new chapter in your lives and marks our commitment to empowering women through education.
At Government College Women University, Sialkot (GCWUS), we firmly believe in the transformative power of education rooted in Islamic values. Our university stands as a beacon of knowledge, fostering an environment where women can embrace their aspirations, pursue their dreams, and become leaders in their respective fields. We take great pride in being a space that empowers, nurtures, and celebrates the brilliance and resilience of women.
As the Vice Chancellor of this prestigious institution, I assure you that we are dedicated to providing the highest standards of education, cutting-edge research opportunities, and a nurturing support system to help you thrive in your academic and personal endeavors. Our renowned faculty members are not only experts in their disciplines but also passionate mentors who are committed to guiding you towards intellectual growth and personal development.
I kindly request all my students and faculty members to follow the exemplary conduct (Uswa-i-Husna) of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ (Peace Be Upon Him) to become good Muslims and upstanding human beings. Let us embody virtues such as honesty, dignity, truthfulness, sincerity, strong character, forgiveness, self-respect, politeness, wisdom, broad-mindedness, and care for others.
Beyond academics, GC Women University Sialkot offers a vibrant campus life that encourages well-rounded growth. Our diverse range of extracurricular activities will help you to discover your passions and develop essential life skills. Moreover, our commitment to fostering an inclusive and safe environment ensures that every woman on campus feels valued, respected, and heard. We embrace diversity and celebrate the unique perspectives each individual brings to our university community. We take immense pride in being the torchbearer of the vision of our esteemed poet, Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal, whose philosophy and teachings continue to inspire us. Iqbal’s vision of Khudi (selfhood) and his emphasis on self-realization and empowerment resonate deeply with our mission. We strive to instill these values in our students, encouraging them to become agents of positive change in society. Situated in Sialkot, a city renowned for its export-oriented industries, especially the sports goods and surgical instruments manufacturing sector, our university offers unparalleled opportunities. Our collaboration with local manufacturers enhances the practical skills of our students, preparing them to contribute effectively to the workforce and the economic development of our nation.
Choosing the right university is a pivotal decision, and we are honored that you are considering GCWUS for your higher education.

شراب کہن پھر پلا ساقیا
مجھے عشق کے پر لگا کر اڑا
خرد کو غلامی سے آزاد کر
ہری شاخ ملت ترے نم سے ہے
تڑپنے پھڑکنے کی توفیق دے
جگر سے وہی تیر پھر پار کر
ترے آسمانوں کے تاروں کی خیر
جوانوں کو سوز جگر بخش دے
مری ناؤ گرداب سے پار کر
بتا مجھ کو اسرار مرگ و حیات
مرے دیدۂ تر کی بے خوابیاں
مرے نالۂ نیم شب کا نیاز
امنگیں مری، آرزوئیں مری
یہی کچھ ہے ساقی متاع فقیر
وہی جام گردش میں لا ساقیا
مری خاک جگنو بنا کر اڑا
جوانوں کو پیروں کا استاد کر
نفس اس بدن میں ترے دم سے ہے
دل مرتضیؓ، سوز صدیقؓ دے
تمنا کو سینوں میں بیدار کر
زمینوں کے شب زندہ داروں کی خیر
مرا عشق، میری نظر بخش دے
یہ ثابت ہے تو اس کو سیار کر
کہ تیری نگاہوں میں ہے کائنات
مرے دل کی پوشیدہ بیتابیاں
مری خلوت و انجمن کا گداز
امیدیں مری، جستجوئیں مری
اسی سے فقیری میں ہوں میں امیر
With warm regards,

Prof. Dr. Shazia bashir

GC Women University, Sialkot
