Welcome to faculty of social sciences (FSS) at University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan.
Our World is changing so are our priorities. Climate change phenomena is on center stage in modern day carbon wise economies. Efficient resource utilization, environmentally sustainable agricultural practices, safeguarding agricultural resources, and elevating young rural farm families has been the priority of the contemporary world. Agriculture in modern day world has gone beyond the horizon. The use of modern-day technologies such as Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) guided agricultural equipment and use of Geographic Information System (GIS) tools in analyzing the spatial data has become an important part in providing the informative and futuristic pathways to develop sustainable supply chain in agriculture. This is the vision of the faculty of social sciences (FSS) to come forward and offer such knowledge-based solution to enhance the viability, reliability, sustainability, and profitability of our agriculture system and renewable resources. To respond the changing priorities, FSS has gone through a massive structural transformation, as a result more empowered and independent institutes and department has been developed. The impact can be seen throughout our two institutes and three departments: Institute of agricultural and resource economics, Institute of business management sciences; Department of rural sociology, Department of agricultural education and extension, and Continuing education.

The faculty of social science offers a diverse range of degree program in the discipline of agricultural and resource economics, agricultural education and extension, rural sociology, and continuing education. To benefit our students, FSS offers state of the art teaching and research facilities through highly trained faculty members, fully equipped class room with modern teaching aids, and data processing computer labs. Our degree programs are certainly capable of providing a competitive edge to our students in their careers. People at FSS are committed to render the best possible level of education to students and to produce insightful and impactful research to advance the frontiers of the knowledge, to offer solutions that can provide guidelines to policy makers, to partner with industry to provide research based solution of their problems, and to provide capable business leaders in modern day business environment. Moreover, at FSS, we are taking new initiatives to develop agricultural policy, law and governess cell which will provide knowledge-based guidelines to policy makers in devising effective agricultural policies.
I look forward, future engagements and partnerships with industry and other stakeholders to develop new methodologies and restructure existing procedures to enhance the effectiveness of our research-based degree programs. We have clear vision of future needs of changing world and we are prepared for it.
