History & Evolution
The Department of Political Science at GPGC Charsadda was established in 1998. Initially offering an MA program, it underwent a major transformation in 2016 by introducing a cutting-edge 4-year BS Program[cite: 1, 2]. Over the years, the department has nurtured extraordinary talent, producing bureaucrats, scholars, government officials, and politicians[cite: 1, 2]. We are currently affiliated with Bacha Khan University, Charsadda[cite: 1, 2].
