History

Women education is neglected in our society. Women participation in every walk of the life is essential including politics, education, and process of legislation. The women empowerment is the need of the day; to impart higher education facilities to women at their doorstep in this area was badly felt. Keeping in view of the significance of need of the women education, Prime Minister of Pakistan Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani had announced the establishment of Women University during his visit to Sukkur on January 11, 2009. Sindh government has decided to name the Women University in Sukkur as "Begum Nusrat Bhutto University at Sukkur", while a bill in this regard was drafted and forwarded to Law department for further processing.[5] Commissioner Sukkur was assigned officially to prepare master plan for the establishment of Women University at Sukkur adjacent to Aror university of Art, Architecture, Design & Heritages site.[6]

Finally The Sindh Assembly passed the bill moved by Provincial Minister for Law, the House passed the Begum Nusrat Bhutto Women University Sukkur Bill, 2018 on Thursday April 19, 2018, providing for the establishment of universities in district Sukkur.[7]
