This qualitative research study aimed to examine the viewpoints of departmental chairpersons about the implementation of blended learning at public sector universities. The study focused on identifying both the difficulties and potential benefits associated with its implementation. A convenient sample selection approach was used to select a total of twenty (20) chairpersons, consisting of (9) males and (11) females, from three public sector institutions in the Multan area of Punjab, Pakistan. The data was analyzed using NVivo software to do theme analysis on qualitative data. The findings revealed a multitude of obstacles, including insufficient infrastructure and network-related problems. On the other hand, the research also emphasized positive possibilities such as improved availability of educational materials and chances for individualized learning experiences. The research suggested that promoting a culture of cooperation and creativity might help public-sector universities embrace blended learning more effectively.
