A meeting was held at ERRA Headquarters on February
10, 2010 to review the progress made by NESPAK in
designing educational facilities in AJ&K and NWFP.
Section Head Education, Syed Majid Ali and Section
Head Education, Salman Shahid, apprised the
participants about the following details regarding
designing of educational institutions in AJ&K and
NWFP, respectively:
• In AJ&K, out of 1965, 640 educational facilities
are left to be designed, whereas 1325 facilities
have been designed. In
Governance Sector, 94 % designing work has been
completed. In Health and Transport Sector 100%
designing has been
completed.
• In NWFP, out of 2301, only 404 education
facilities are left to be designed. In Health
Sector 97% of the designing has
been completed. In Transport Sector 99% roads and
86% bridges have been designed.
Keeping in view encouraging speed and progress
shown by NESPAK, during the last few months, Mr
Tariq Bajwa, DG P – IV, proposed that left-over
projects in Education Sector might also be designed
by NESPAK instead of outsourcing them, as decided
earlier. While expressing his reservations on the
given proposal, Brig ® Pervaiz Hayat Niazi, DG
P-II, said that a lot of efforts had been made to
study the feasibility of outsourcing designing of
Education Sector buildings; issue must be
thoroughly deliberated upon before taking a
decision, particularly when 1044 projects in
Education Sector still remain to be designed in AJ&K
and NWFP by March 31, 2010. The Deputy Chairman
agreed with DG P-II.
