Department of Kashmir Studies In Allama Iqbal Campus
Pakistan has close historical, religious, social, economic and geographical ties with Kashmir. It was the need of the time to promote Kashmiri as a regional language.
The University of the Punjab remained very vigilant and took the initiative by starting from the basic roots with Certificate and Diploma classes in 1982. Since then with the cooperation of the University authorities this Department has progressed. An M.A. level course in Kashmir Studies was started in 1987 and an M. Phil level course will commence in the near future. The Department has also started a Ph.D. Program.
