COLLEGE HISTORY & INTRODUCTION

KhairpurTamewali was an oldest town of Bahawalpur State. It remained the center of different administrative activities of State Bahawalpur. It saw many ups and downs and now it is a distant Tehsil of Bahawalpur District. The origin of this city has been found even before Islam came in the valley of Sindh. This city used to be situated on the shore of Ghaghra river (Sutlej). The thunderous waves of the Sutlej River destroyed the city many times. Once in history, this city also faced the wrath of Nadir Shah. These were the days when the town of Khairpur Tamewali was the center of a tiny state. The state of Bahawalpur consisted of six districts: Sadiqabad, Allahabad, DeraNawab, Bahawalpur city, Khairpur Tamewali and Minchanabad. The territory of that time district KhairpurTamewali spread from Bahawalpur to Bahawalnagr. After the completion of Sutlej-Dehli Project in 1925, new cities and markets came into being within the state. With the establishment of Mandis (markets) in Chishtian and Hasilpur, these cities started progressing rapidly and Khairpur Tamewali gradually began to lose its status and it fell under the jurisdiction of Hasilpur. Afterwards, Hasilpur developed and became a separate Tehsil Headquarter. The town of KhairpurTamewali which once used to be the center of the district turned into just a Sub-Tehsil.
