Vice Chancellor’s Message

“The torch of knowledge lit by Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said burns brightly in the hands of today’s youth.”

It is a deep honour to lead Hamdard University, an institution rooted in service, integrity, and nation-building. The visionary legacy of our Founder Chancellor, Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said, continues to inspire every brick and classroom of this institution.

I firmly believe that the true heirs to Hakim Mohammed Said’s legacy are not those who merely remember his words – but those who live them. And in our students, I see that spirit alive: smarter, more connected, and more aware than any generation before. They are the future of Pakistan – and Hamdard University will be their launchpad.

Today’s students – our Gen Z – are not just learners; they are digital natives, critical thinkers, and change-makers. They learn differently, think differently, and dream differently. And that is not a challenge – it is an opportunity.

As the world enters the age of Artificial Intelligence, digital assets, and borderless collaboration, the global village is no longer a concept – it is our lived reality. The rise of the remote workforce, virtual innovation, and technology-driven problem-solving demands that universities evolve at the same pace. At Hamdard University, we are reimagining education for this new era, preparing our students to thrive in a world where digital literacy is as essential as academic excellence.

We must cultivate a culture where learning is not confined to classrooms or degrees – but embraced as a joyful, lifelong journey. It is through curiosity, ground-breaking research, and ethical values that we find our deepest purpose: to build a healthier society, a culturally enriched nation, a sustainable environment, and a more peaceful world – values that echo the very soul of Shaheed Hakim Mohammed Said’s vision.

In this age of climate change and environmental urgency, our responsibility extends even further. Sustainability must be woven into our teaching, research, operations, and community engagement, so that our graduates inherit not only knowledge but also a profound sense of stewardship for the planet.

This means our classrooms and laboratories must speak the language of real-world needs; our startups must emerge from genuine discovery; and our graduates must be ready not just for jobs – but for leadership, service, and nation-building. In this era of shifting global currents, let us strive – together – to become the very best version of Hamdard University we can be. A future where knowledge serves humanity, where innovation meets integrity, and where Hamdard University shines as a model of excellence – locally, regionally, and globally.
