NED University of Engineering

NED was set up in 1921 as the Prince of Wales Engineering College by the residents of Karachi to remember Prince of Wales' visit to the city. It was partnered with the University of Bombay and offered Bachelor of Engineering in two orders: Civil and Electrical-Mechanical. Upon the segment of India in 1947, it was subsidiary with the University of Sindh and after four years, upon the foundation of the University of Karachi, NED saw its third connection. most established designing foundation in the nation, to get approval. 

NED was, nonetheless, disregarded, and in 1961 the Engineering Universities were made in Lahore and Dhaka. What followed was long periods of disregard of NED. In addition to the fact that it was denied of its legitimate status, it was likewise disregarded when monies were being distributed. However, NED endure. In addition to the fact that it survived, it flourished. It continued taking in young men (and later young ladies also) and making gifted and proficient people out of them. And every one of these years, NEDians' battle to acquire their privileges proceeded. In the mid to late sixties, with the help of the World Bank, an arrangement was started for the development of another grounds adjoining that of the University of Karachi. 

This arrangement endure regulatory carelessness and inadequacy until development was at last attempted in 1973. It required two years, however at last the move was figured it out. On September 20, 1975, history was made as glad NEDians loaded up a small bunch of transports, vehicles and – yes – cruisers, flying the maroon banner with the sledge, etch and level of NED to attempt the excursion from the old to the new grounds on University Road. NED had made due to see its move into a shiny new home. The battle for endurance was still on. With all its Glory, it was as yet an Engineering College, actually associated with its new neighbor, the University of Karachi. The hardship proceeded. In 1976 the Government declared that NED would be moved up to the situation with an extra Campus of the University of Karachi, and rather than the Principal, will presently be going by a ProVice Chancellor (PVC). This was acceptable; yet not sufficient. NED needed to turn into a University: NEDians made it noisy and understood, in their gatherings with the Government, in their General Body Meetings, and in the title text of the following issue of Maimar, the College paper: "Let PVC accompany a Date!" The message was heard. Mr. Abdur Rahman Akhund, at that point Chairman of Pakistan Railway Board, himself an Alumnus of NED, a lifelong government worker, was selected the PVC and he accompanied a Date – March 1, 1977. Yet, there was one more proviso. As of that date, NED Engineering College would be moved up to the University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi. 

Prominently missing were the letters NED. The battle was not finished. Along these lines, the NEDians began the discussion with the Government. The discussions didn't go anyplace. Thus, according to the custom of the time, the NEDians loaded up a couple transports and plummeted on the Chief Minister's House. While most of them held up outside, an appointment went in to think with Mr. Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi, at that point the Chief Minister of Sindh. Following a decent 90 minutes, or something like that, the assignment arose reciting NED, NED. Furthermore, the skies of Karachi loaded up with thunders of NED, NED. NEDians had won. Thus, more than 35 years prior NED Engineering College became NED University of Engineering and Technology. It was for sure, the start of another section in the Glory of NED.
