Gomal University D.I. Khan, established in 1974, by Pakistan People Party government with the objective of providing higher education to the youngsters of the underdeveloped D.I. Khan division in particular and NWFP in general and also to develop sound and strong knowledge base in some disciplines by strengthening teaching and learning process.

The department of Pakistan studies was started 2019.The department offer programs BS/MS/M.Phil. in Pakistan Studies, PhD level at a later stage. The department will design comprehensive multi-disciplinary courses on various aspects of Pakistan. The major languages of the area are Pashto and Saraiki, which are full of literacy base and the most vital means of communication. These languages of the area i.e. Saraiki and Pashto speak of century’s long coexistence of the two cultural groups. This coexistence preserves places, archeological remains and written and spoken treatises basic to understanding of what we call the Indus civilization. The archaeological remnants in Sind cannot be grasped without knowing about the sights at Bilot, for instance. The Saraiki language is today studied in full-flagged department of Saraiki in two other Universities of the country, and has emerged as a subject catchy for research in many national and international universities and institutions.
