Overview

The campus is situated at the crossroads of the ancient civilization of Gandhara and Ashoka and facing the silk route on the outskirts of Mansehra which had been the ancient link between the sub-continent, China and Central Asia.[1]

Haji Abdul Hanan Khan Swati, a prominent landowner in Dhodial, generously contributed land for the establishment of the mental hospital in Mansehra. This hospital was built by the first health minister of Pakistan Khan Khudadad Khan Swati and eventually transformed into Hazara University later.
