History and background
In 2001, the University of Malakand was established in the Lower Dir district. But sensing the need of the people of Dir Upper, the then Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa issued directives on October 3, 2002 for the establishment of Campus-II of the Malakand University at the Sheringal region in Upper Dir. His Excellency General (Rt) Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah formally inaugurated the campus-II to enable the people to get a better education at their doorstep. Sheringal Campus became a full-fledged University "Shaheed Benazir Bhutto University" on 6 October 2009, under the Regulation 2009, recommended by his Excellencies, the Governor Khyber PakhtunKhwa and approved by the President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.[2]
The university is located in Sheringal, the administrative headquarter and business hub of the valley of Dir Kohistan, on the bank of Panjkora River at a distance of about 35 km from Dir city and 25 km from the Chukiyatan bridge.
