STUDENTS’ SOCIETIES Extra curricular activities are an important part of campus life. These include all university-based or university-sponsored cultural, educational, social and recreational activities not part of the regular curriculum but are an integral part of the living-learning community at the University of Peshawar.
The students’ of the University of Peshawar are amongst the 3% privileged ones in Pakistan who got the opportunity of admission to this prestigious seat of high learning. Apart from imparting quality education through standard academic procedure to provide skilled leadership to the society, the university equally takes care of personality building of students by a wide range of co-curricular activities. Managers of the students try their level best to use this platform as a principal vehicle for channelising their potential for good end, give vent to their bubbly feelings, broaden their vision in the global context and refine their qualities as national architects.
Khyber Literary Club established in 1986 as a pioneer society got its legal status recognized in 1994 with the decision of the Honorable Supreme Court whereby an alternate platform has to be provided to the students to ward them off the undesirable political activities, where they were enslaved by venomous designs of political parties. In the light of this ruling, later on, nine more societies namely Adventure and Hiking Club, Blood Donor Society, Creative art Society, Culture and dramatic society, Khyber Literary Club, Peshawar University Rifle association, Science Society, Social welfare and awareness society and Sports Society were established. Khyber Islamic Cultural Society, Photo-Video Club and Folk Art and Heritage Society have been established most recently.
Vice Chancellor and Provost, University of Peshawar are the Chief Patron and Patron respectively of all the Societies, each society is looked after by an Organizer and Co-organizer. Under the overall supervision of a chief organiser, students’ cabinet of each society works under the guidance of its respective organisers. The cabinet of each society bears offices of a President, Vice President, General Secretary, Joint Secretary, Media Secretary and Public Relation Officer (1 male and 1 female).

The Report of the Commission on National Education contained a recommendation that activities broadly along these lines should be compulsory for all students, and hence a glorious tradition was established.
It is a requirement of the University that to earn a bachelors degree a student must have participated in social workfor at least two months.In 1952 Islamia College began to supply volunteer blood donors for the Lady Reading Hospital and has continued to do so regularly.
In November 1963 the present Volunteer Blood Donor Service was inaugurated on a University basis and is rendering valuable social service.
