Fatima Jinnah Women University

Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU) has been established in the premises of the Old Presidency, situated at the Mall, in the heart of Rawalpindi Cantonment.

Our heritage has been beautifully interlinked with the education of women for the next millennium. The main building is Victorian as reflected in its architectural splendor. This building was originally built as a residence by two famous Sikh brothers, Mohan Singh and Sohan Singh. It became the Presidency of Pakistan around the mid 1960’s. The rooms are steeped in history; personalities like Benazir Bhutto, Mr. Ch. Fazal Elahi and President Zia-ul-Haq have walked in the corridors of this building. Former Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif inaugurated this gift for the nation’s daughters and their families on August 6, 1998.As it stands it is a symbol of the commitment of the nation to women’s education.
