The Department of English
Literature was established in 1989 in the Arts Block on the new
campus. Keeping in view the paucity of funds and facilities, the
university decided to develop this program gradually. Therefore,
initially the services! of certain number of teachers were
acquired by the university on deputation. The department not
only caters to the needs of this area but is also serving KPK
and an adjacent district of the Punjab i.e. Bhakkar District. .
The department has a
library currently containing nearly five thousand books on
literature and linguistics but is being furnished continually
with latest critical works in order to overcome the growing
needs of the students. Seminars, extension lectures, students'
presentations & group discussion are also regularly arranged to
promote talent, exchange of expertise and to give the students
exposure.
The department also
provides the students with audio-visual aids in order to help
the students improve their communication skills. The department
has a faculty of seven teachers; two of them are enrolled in
Ph.D programs. The department also intends to launch B,A(Hons) 4
year in addition to 2 year M.A (English) regular program as soon
as the basic infrastructure is provided.
