Our Origin
How the First-Ever SRC at KIMS Was Born
A student-driven initiative — proposed, built, and delivered from within — through persistence, collective will, and the support of an administration that believed in it.
The SRC at KIMS did not emerge from the top down. It began with a single student — Muhammad Sadat Khan, then in 4th Year MBBS — who identified that the existing CR and GR system, while valuable for classroom coordination, lacked the scope and institutional standing to represent students where decisions are actually made.
The constitution of the SRC marked a defining moment: for the first time, students were formally recognised as the principal stakeholders of this institution. Not passive participants — but elected voices, with formal weight, formal channels, and the institutional standing to represent their peers with respect and accountability.
On 6 May 2025, Muhammad Sadat formally submitted a written SRC proposal to the administration. What followed was months of consultations, formal meetings, revisions, and trust-building — involving students, faculty, and senior administration working collectively toward a shared goal.
Once shared with all CRs and GRs across every MBBS year, the proposal became a whole-student initiative. Every class representative stood behind it unanimously. Three formal meetings with CRs and GRs were held, alongside multiple meetings between Muhammad Sadat and the administration.
Dr. Fawad Iqbal, Incharge Department of Medical Education, played a pivotal bridging role — facilitating communication between students and the Vice Principal Academics at every critical stage. Prof. Dr. Arshad Farzooq, Vice Principal Academics, accepted the proposal, worked through it carefully, and brought it to Prof. Dr. Musarrat Jabeen, Principal, who gave it her full institutional support.
An independent committee, according to the vision of CRs, GRs and students of session 2025, was formed on 6 January 2026.
Interviews were held on 2nd and 3rd March, and after that class level elections were held.
Where students were allowed to elect their representatives for SRC.
A Note of Gratitude — Setting a Standard for KMU
The SRC extends its deepest gratitude to Prof. Dr. Musarrat Jabeen, Principal KMU-IMS, whose approval and support made this milestone possible. By constituting the first-ever formal student representation body at KIMS, she has demonstrated that KMU Institute of Medical Sciences stands as a role model among all constituent and affiliated institutes of Khyber Medical University — championing student representation in alignment with PMDC guidelines and KMU's own governance framework. This decision sets a standard we hope every affiliated institute will follow.
The Committee for SRC — KIMS
Formed on 6 January 2026. This committee drafted the Terms of Reference alongside students, conducted formal interviews on 2–3 March 2026, supervised elections, and issued the final official notification on 9 April 2026. The SRC acknowledges each member with deep appreciation.
The CRs and GRs Who Made This a Student Movement
When the SRC proposal was shared, every Class Representative and Girls' Representative across all MBBS years endorsed it unanimously — transforming a single student's initiative into a collective institutional movement. Their solidarity and participation across three formal meetings gave the proposal its institutional weight. They are part of this history.
