Rotary clubs across the planet celebrated the International Women's Day 2017 with great fanfare and Rotary Club of Karachi Darakhshan marked the occasion by holding a gathering at the DA Beach View Club in Karachi on March 8.

The day to commemorate the struggle for women's rights and celebrate the political, social, economic and cultural achievements of women throughout history was accorded due deference by the Rotary Club, helping in creating greater awareness. 

The International Women's Day witnessed a number of conferences, meetings, rallies, exhibitions and festivals in Pakistan and it was in the fitness of things that the Rotarians were proactive in celebrating the annual event. 

Historically, the International Women's Day was observed for the first time in New York in the early 1900s while it was adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 1975.The 2017 theme for International Women’s Day focused on ‘Women in the Changing World of Work: Planet 50-50 by 2030.’

The Charter President of Rotary Club of Karachi Darakhshan, Jahangir Moghul, who is also the Immediate Past District Governor of Rotary International in Pakistan, appreciated the UN initiatives in meeting the challenge. 

“The United Nations on their part has been doing the job in highlighting the issues and facilitating in its own ways. But more efforts are needed in this direction as empowering women and girls is indeed the only way to protect their rights and make sure they can realize their full potential. There is no doubt that women’s rights are human rights. It’s a pity that their rights are still being reduced, restricted and reversed at a lot of places. As Rotarians, we have a responsibility to use our unique position to make a difference,” Jahangir Moghul remarked. 

Having a proven track record in community service, the former Rotary chief of Pakistan reckoned that on International Women’s Day, all Rotarians should pledge to do everything they can to overcome entrenched prejudice, support engagement and activism, and promote gender equality and women’s empowerment.

The former District Secretary of Rotary International in Pakistan, Syed Khalid Mahmood, who is also a Past President of the Rotary Club, believed that the girls need to be guided and motivated to choose from a broad range of careers instead of restricting them to a few traditional fields. 

He urged women and girls to participate more actively in the ongoing process of the digital revolution. 

Sarah Asim Khan, one of the members of Rotary Club of Karachi Darakhshan, delivered a talk on the occasion in which she deliberated on the various aspects of the International Women’s Day. 

The meeting of Rotary Club of Karachi Darakhshan was chaired by its President-Elect, Asad Sadiq, and it was also attended by Mahmood Shaikh, Waqas Moghul, Kousar Moghul, Fahim Sulaiman, Asim Murtaza Khan, Amin Noor, Ashiq Hussain, Awais Moghul, Farzana Awais, Haris Moghul, Tariq Hussain, Natasha Moghul, Darakhshan Anjum, Javeria Khalid and Beenish Khalid.

The visionary as well proactive approach of its promoters, Ahmed E H Jaffer Foundation, is set to make The Hub School, a not-for-profit boys’ boarding school a model educational institution.

The school started its operations with 50 boys a few months ago much to the delight of the great Abdul Kader Jaffer, a man with the Midas touch, who is leading the project. 

The inaugural batch of 50 students from all over the country set the ball rolling as The Hub School, situated on the outskirts of Karachi in the vicinity of Northern Bypass near Sindh-Balochistan border, aiming to forge a national identity and consciousness by fostering close links and cooperation amongst all students as Pakistanis. 

Education is a Jaffer Family legacy to Pakistan. The Islamia School in Pune was founded in 1907 by Ahmed E H Jaffer’s great grand Father Khan Bahadur Haroon Jaffer while Sir Ebrahim Haroon Jaffer organized the first Muslim Educational Conference in 1920. 

Ahmed E.H. Jaffer had introduced reforms as a member of the Indian Legislative Assembly in 1940 and later after partition in the Pakistan Legislative Assembly he raised several bills and motions for improvement and increase in the allocation for education. 

"Besides creating a middle-class for future good leadership and good governance in all fields, The Hub School will also produce young boys with character, discipline and integrity for a better world and a better and more prosperous Pakistan,” Abdul Kader Jaffer, the present President of the Ahmed E H Jaffer Foundation and a former Pakistan's High Commissioner to UK, remarked in an exclusive interview.

“By the Grace of Almighty Allah, The Hub School has become operational and the classes have commenced. We have begun our journey with special prayers for the prosperity of the country, school and for the wellbeing of our respected donors,” Abdul Kader Jaffer, President of The Hub School, who has also headed the English Speaking Union of Pakistan (ESUP), stated

He informed that after return from UK on completion of his assignment as Pakistan High Commissioner from 2000 to 2003, he had been working on this most challenging task of setting up a boarding school initially for 135 boys to be gradually increased to 800 boys in the next 5 years, followed by a boarding school for girls and finally a University of national stature on 240 acre of land donated by the family besides Rs 50 million in cash.

According to him a dormatory for 135 boys is in use while another dormatory for 135 girls will be ready by next year to start boarding school for girls which will start from next academic calendar in August 2017.

“The Hub School is the first boarding school in this area which will provide quality education to all on merit. We believe providing quality education to our youngsters is the only viable alternative to curb extremism and to produce leadership in all fields from young men and women who are broad-minded and enlightened,” Abdul Kader Jaffer, who founded the Ahmed E H Jaffer Foundation in 1996, observed.

“It is our mission to provide quality education to our younger generation at the Hub School as per the high standard available in USA & UK. I am sure we will be able to achieve these objectives with the kind and generous support of all our friends, relations and well-wishers both in Pakistan and abroad,” he added.

The objective of the Ahmed E H Jaffer Foundation is to work mostly but not limited to in the fields of education, healthcare and sports and for this purpose raised a fund of over Rs 800 million from generous donors in Pakistan and abroad, AKJ stated.

The Hub School has a Board of Governors comprising of eminent personalities like Aitzaz Shahbaz, Shahnaz Wazir Ali, Lt Gen Tanwir Hussain Naqvi, Ghazala Nizami, Ismail Zakaria, Mian Mukhtar Ahmed, Aliuddin Ahmed, Dr Pirzada Qasim Raza Siddiqui, Dr Masuma Hasan, Professor Haroon Rasheed and Professor Mohammad Rais Alvi.

While hailing the decision of initiating Operation Raddul Fasad throughout the country, the representatives of the Pakhtun community in Nawabshah have complained about maltreatment by the area police.

In order to highlight the issue, a demonstration under the auspices of the Pakhtun Welfare Society was held in which it was demanded to stop police excesses against their community. 

The demonstrators, led by Jan Muhammad Khan, Nazar Pathan and Shafi-ur-Rahman Jadoon, were carrying national flags and banners inscribed with slogans of portraying love with Pakistan and criticism of the police department. 

The leaders of the Shehri Tajir Ittehad also took part in the protests. Addressing the demonstrators and later talking to media at the office of Union of Journalists, President Jan Muhammad Khan, Nazar Pathan and Shafi-ur-Rahman condemned the raids at their houses and shops in search of foreigners and described it contravention of the laws, alleging that police was booking them under Foreigners Act.

They regretted that on one hand the Pakhtuns are being killed in the incidents of terrorism while on the other innocents were being arrested on the same count. 

They said that their community has fully supported the National Action Plan and the Zarb-e-Azb operation which produced positive results and now they are shoulder to shoulder with the Pakistan Army in the Radul-Fasad operation. 

They alleged that police intruded into their houses and harass women and children which in turn created a sense of insecurity. They further accused the police of demanding bribe for the release of those arrested. 

They appealed to the Prime Minister, the Sindh Chief Minister and the IGP Sindh to release the innocent arrested persons within three days and withdraw false cases registered against them or they would be constrained to pull shutters down to spread protest country wide.

(Pakistan News & Features Services)

The College of American Pathologists (CAP), an internationally recognized standard for clinical laboratories, has accredited the Aga Khan University Hospital’s Clinical Laboratories, the first laboratory in Pakistan.

With 3,000 CAP requirements, accreditation is a rigorous process. A team of nine CAP inspectors, practicing professionals qualified through a CAP training programme, visited Pakistan last year to audit the laboratory’s quality records, staff qualifications, validation of tests, equipment, facilities, safety programmes and overall management. 

The University Hospital’s CEO, Hans Kedzierski, stressed that clinical laboratory testing is an essential part of a quality healthcare service. “Since most of the decisions regarding a patient’s diagnosis and treatment are usually based on laboratory test results, for patients, this means timely and more accurate diagnosis.” 

“Striving to meet patient satisfaction drives the hospital to constantly review itself for improvements every day,” he added. 

AKUH is also the only teaching hospital in Pakistan that is accredited by the Joint Commission International, a gold standard in healthcare delivery. 

“The CAP accreditation is an attestation that AKUH Clinical Laboratories has achieved the gold standard in laboratory medicine,” Shagufta Hassan, Chief Operating Officer, Clinical Laboratories and Outreach Services, remarked.

“AKUH Clinical Laboratories has always applied the highest standards of quality and this certification is a manifestation of the same.” 

At a debriefing after the audit, CAP inspectors expressed how they were impressed with the standards already applied, which made their work much easier. 

“I would like to congratulate Aga Khan University Hospital for being the first CAP accredited laboratory in Pakistan,” said the CAP President Richard C. Friedberg in his message to the Hospital community. 

“We know that the journey has been the long one, but we are sure and certain that the benefits of our accreditation and your continual desire to improve your services, your performance, your accuracy, your reliability, and your precision, will benefit the patients in Pakistan”.  

“From its founding, the Aga Khan University and its hospitals have aimed to achieve international standards in our teaching, research, and care for patients,” Firoz Rasul, President, Aga Khan University, said. 

“Validation of our practices through international accreditation gives patients the assurance that standards match the best in the world.”

 AKUH Clinical Laboratories is the largest laboratory network in Pakistan. Besides the main clinical laboratory in Karachi, there are 250 regional laboratories, medical centres and specimen collection units in over 100 cities around the country. 

With a highly trained team of over 50 faculty and 250 technologists, supported by state-of-the-art automated equipment, the laboratories offer over 700 types of testing overall, 10 million tests annually. For the convenience of patients, the laboratories also offer online reports, SMS alerts and detailed multi-column reports. 

“We are committed to the delivery of accurate results for our patients by providing highest levels of quality, service standards and transparency,” Dr Farooq Ghani, Service Line Chief, Clinical Laboratories, stated. 

The US federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the U.S. government’s own inspection programme. 

As the leading organization with more than 18,000 board-certified pathologists, CAP serves patients, pathologists, and the public by fostering and advocating excellence in the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine worldwide. 

The CAP’s Laboratory Improvement Programs, initiated 65 years ago, currently has presence in more than 100 countries, accrediting nearly 8,000 laboratories and providing proficiency testing to 20,000 laboratories worldwide.

The 32nd IEEEP National Engineering Students Competition-2017 was inaugurated on February 22 by the chief guest, Dale Sinkler, Chief Generation and Transmission Officer, K-Electric, who called upon the upcoming engineers to utilize their engineering talents to make Karachi a smart city through their innovative projects. 

The event is being organized by the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEEP) in collaboration with the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET) at the main campus of the university. 

The NSEC’17 is in continuation in series of IEEEP All Pakistan Students seminar held each year and this year it has been organized in collaboration with SSUET. The competition includes final year engineering projects competition and Hack Town, the theme for smart city. 

Dale Sinkler, while referring to present day condition of Karachi city, said that it’s high time for upcoming engineers to come out with innovative ideas to transform Karachi into a smart city. 

“Step out of the box and look outside to bring the desired change. There would be no change when you don’t want to look forward to bring the change,” he said adding that they would make a different by bringing a change through their innovative ideas. 

“This is your city. You have to plant the first seed to make fruit to come,” he pointed out while stressing the student participants to step out of the box, do different things and they would get different results in relation to ‘Hack Town’ concept. 

He said that if we look at our city and take it as a reality, then there would be no chance of change unless they focus on this concept and look outside the cave. 

“The education you have and have the desire to make it a better city,” he reckoned, believing that the only thing which was stopping us from make Karachi a smart city is ourselves. 

Earlier in his keynote address, Arif Hasan, an eminent architect, described the topic a very important subject which, he said, concerns the future of the world. 

He shared his views and concerns about ‘Hack Town’ concept and observed that the results will remain unachieved unless the planning broadly consists of a number of closely inter-connected subjects like demography, social and physical infrastructure and management, economy, environment, ecology and now environment of the citizens. 

He was of the opinion that biggest problem had been coordination between the organizations that develop and manage these ingredients of urban planning and they are not aware of each other. 

In this regard he cited the example of University Road. He stated that in the Karachi Development Plan 2000, an attempt was made to link the Karachi Master Plan department with KMC, KESC and SSGC but it failed because there was lack of use of technology, training of staff while trained staff left. 

Earlier the SSUET Vice-Chancellor, Prof Dr Jawed H. Rizvi, welcomed the chief guest and participants and described the event a high profile thematic subject concerning every one. 

He hoped that the participants of the competition would utilize their mettle to come up with innovative ideas to achieve the desired results. The inaugural session ended with vote of thanks presented by the SSUET Registrar, Syed Sarfraz Ali.
