KARACHI-Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh, Vice Chancellor Sindh Madressatul Islam University
(SMIU), has said that the research culture will be promoted in the institution and three research
journals will be launched soon.
He said while chairing the meeting of Deans, Chairpersons and faculty members of SMIU, held
at Junagarh Seminar Hall of SMIU on Monday.
Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said that there is a correlation between teaching and research, hence
the faculty, especially the young faulty members must do research work, for which SMIU is
providing all the required facilities and incentives to them.
He further said that Sindh Madressatul Islam University has entered in its fourth year of
academic activities from August 1, as the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan has
recognized it in August 2012.
Afterwards, while completing the appointments of faculty, administrative staff and infrastructure
processes, classes of first batch of SMIU students were commended from January 2013. Thus,
the SMIU has completed its four years of academic activities successfully. Now the university
has entered in its second most intensive phase, where faculty and students, especially of Master
programs must concentrate on research work, individually and in groups.
