Biological Society

The Biological Society was established in 1954. The founding members of the Society were Dr. Sultan Ahmad, Dr. Muzzafar Ahmed, Dr. Abu-Baker, Prof. Ahsan-ul-Islam and Prof. Wais Hussain Bokhari. The Society launched what was later to become an international research journal – "The Biologia” – in June, 1955. Today, the journal is subscribed to by libraries in the UK, the US, Canada, Indonesia, Brazil, Jordan, Sudan, France, Saudi Arabia, India and the Netherlands.

The Biological Society arranges seminars and lectures on a wide variety of topics. It often asks scholars to present their scientific works before students. The Biological Society has published many monographs which serve as reference material for students and researchers.

Research:

The Department of Botany initiated research in two major research fields in 2001 at the Postgraduate level:
• Environmental Science
• Industrial Biotechnology
Research Journal

The Department has been publishing its research journal The Biologia for 51 years. This journal is an organ of the Biological Society of Pakistan which is headquartered here at GC University Lahore.

Herbal Plot

The establishment of the Herbal Plot in the Garden is another step towards improving and increasing the collection at the Botanic Garden. A Green House, Experimental Fields, Plant Breeding Enclosures and an Open-Top Chamber System are also present at the Botanic Garden to facilitate research activities. We also have a seed bank where we conserve germplasm of economically important plant species.

Libraries

GC University Lahore Library came into existence in 1872. Muhammad Asadullah Khan joined in 1916 as the first qualified librarian. The British Government honored him with the title of Khan Bahadur in 1935. A proper library with an office and a reading room was established in 1937 in memory of Mian Fazl-i-Hussain, a renowned educationist.

The library building was once again expanded in 1964. In 1999, the Postgraduate Library was established to enhance library activities. The library fulfills the information needs of more than 6000 students and teachers throughout the year. The total area of the Library is 30803 sq. feet which is capable of accommodating 600 students at a time.

The Library has continuously been improved not only in the collection of books, but also as an instrument for the assistance of study and research. At present, it has a total numbers of 307672 books including precious personal collections. The library receives 236 national and international journals. The detail is as under:-

The Academic departments of the GCU offer a wide choice of subjects with flexible study patterns that meet the needs and interests of the students at intermediate, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. From this page you will be able to access information about all the academic departments.
