The University of Sindh ((シンド語:سنڌ يونيورسٽي); , informally known as Sindh University), is a public research university located in the residential area of Jamshoro, Sindh, Pakistan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Address of Sindh University. )〕 It is one of the oldest universities in Pakistan,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Accredited universities, institutions' list issued )〕 and as of 2013 was ranked in eighth in terms of "general category" by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. Founded in 1947 in Karachi, the university was relocated to Hyderabad where the university began functioning as a full-fledged teaching university. There are four law colleges and various other colleges affiliated with the Sindh University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction to the University of Sindh )〕 The university is noted for research in literature, natural sciences, philosophy, and Sindhology. The university is also a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities of the United Kingdom. ==History== After the independence in 1947, the only functioning university in the newly founded nation of Pakistan was the University of Punjab providing services to the developed parts of the Punjab province. The area constituted as the Sindh province came under the academic coverage of University of Bombay which had now become a part of India. A formal academic centre was therefore needed for Sindh and under the constitutional act no. XVII titled 'University of Sindh', a resolution was passed by the Legislative Assembly of Sindh thus giving birth to this new university in the nation's capital of Karachi.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=History of Hyderabad )〕 The act was subsequently revised and modified in 1961 and years to come. However, it was the act of 1972 that provided for greater autonomy and representation of teachers, under which the university currently functions. In the years after the independence from 1947 to 1955, Hyderabad was declared as the capital of Sindh and the university operations were relocated from Karachi to Hyderabad in 1951〔 where it formally started functioning as a teaching institution in pursuit of fulfilment of its charter and mission to disseminate knowledge.〔 The first department established was the ''Department of Education'', later raised to the status of ''Faculty of Education''. The departments of basic science disciplines as well as other departments targeted towards Humanities and Social Sciences were added in the mid-50s. With the sudden departmentalised growth of the university's organisational structure, a better equipped campus was desired and a new campus was established in Jamshoro town, 15-kilometres from the city of Hyderabad on the right bank of the Indus river in 1955 and was named after Allama Imdad Ali Imam Ali Kazi, former vice-chancellor of the university as a tribute to the great scholar and visionary. Before Jamshoro was selected for the establishment of Sindh University, is was desolate hilly track but was selected to be a university township away from the humdrum of the city of Hyderabad which lacked room to meet the ambitious expansion programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introduction to Jamshoro )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University of Sindh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
