Chitral is one out of 25 settled district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. It has a population of .4 million, is one among the three districts with high literacy rate in the province.

It is peculiar because it has a indigenous Kalash community with Sunni and Ismaili living together with peace and mutual co-existence. It maintains a exemplary semblance of diversity for centuries.

Given the high literacy rate in Chitral two University campuses were established in Chitral few years back. Now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government led byPakistan Tehreek Insaaf ( PTI) has allocated fund for establishing full fledged University in Chitral.

We the people of Chitral demand that the name of this institution must not be politically-motivated and inspired. It should be a center of excellence, quality , research and learning named after the most peaceful, scenic, and unique place as "University of Chitral".
