Health & Physical Education is a way of education by means of physical movement. From Molecular Biology to Material Sciences nothing of value can be expected from a society if the teaching and research in Health and physical education is ignored or if it is relegate to a secondary status. Being a natural phenomenon, movement is the essence of life and the entire mechanism of human body is geared to it. Experts believe that exercise is also as important as food. While food provides necessary energy for the body, exercise tones up the human organism so that it can utilize this energy in a better way. Since a healthy body is necessary for a healthy mind, physical education as a discipline is more intimately concerned with human development than educational disciplines. Physical fitness is not only a concept but it reflects a practical approach to human betterment in terms of health. The survival of a nation undoubtedly depends on physical fitness which ensures general proficiency in all walks of life, and is inevitably linked with better economic growth. It is needless to emphasize the importance of physical education as a discipline as it already stands recognized at the university level. All the advanced countries, realizing its virtues and benefits, have included this subject as an essential part of curriculum at all levels of education.

To carryout academic and nonacademic activities in the college Department of Health & Physical Education was initiated. The programme in Health & Physical Education is an essential need of the state of Pakistan in the current socio-political scenario. The crumbling social and moral fabric of the country is directly in need of the culture of peace and harmony. The aggression and violence riddled society may find some relief in sports and physical activity. The programme will indirectly contribute to the promotion of tolerance and mutual co-existence in the society. The department provides students with knowledge, skills and behaviors to enable them to achieve a degree of mental, social and emotional health. This domain focuses on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and physical activity in the lives of individuals and groups in our society. This domain is unique in having the potential to impact on the physical, social, emotional and mental health of the students. It promotes the potential for lifelong participation in physical activity through the development of motor skills and movement competence, health-related physical fitness and sport education. Engaging in physical activity, games, sport and outdoor recreation contributes to a sense of community and social connectedness. These are vital components of improved wellbeing.
