Once considered a periphery district, Mansehra is fast becoming an important region for academic investment. The credit for this can partially be attributed to the vibrant role that Hazara University and its administration has played in putting the district on the educational map of Pakistan.

In line with the efforts to enhance the academic standing of Mansehra, Hazara University recently announced a mega project aimed at building eight new academic blocks within the institute’s premises.
