  • Governance Structure of the State Bank of Pakistan
    Governance Structure of the State Bank of Pakistan The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is incorporated under the State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956, which gives the Bank the authority to function as the central bank of the country. The Act mandates the Bank to regulate the monetary and credit system of Pakistan and to foster its growth in the best national interest with a view to securing monetary stability and fuller utilization of the country’s productive resources. Central Board of Directors The State Bank of Pakistan is governed by an independent Board of Directors, which is responsible for the general superintendence and direction of the affairs of the Bank. The Board is chaired by the Governor SBP and comprises of 8 non-executive Directors and Secretary Finance to the Federal Government. The Governor SBP is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank and manages the affairs of the Bank on behalf of the Central Board. The SBP Act, 1956 (as amended) stipulates that the Board members should be eminent professionals from the fields of economics, finance, banking and accountancy and shall have no conflict of interest with the business of the Bank. During FY13, all 7 vacant positions on the Board were filled through appointment of Directors by the Federal Government. Out of these 7 newly appointed Directors, 5 were appointed on February 26, 2013 followed by 2 appointments in March, 2013. Brief profile of the members of the Board is given on pages 9-10. The current composition of the Board brings a diverse range of professional expertise, adding value to the deliberations.

  • The Man Who Designed Pakistan's Nukes Just Died
    The Man Who Designed Pakistan’s Nukes Just Died – And No One Noticed by Pervez Hoodbhoy Riazuddin 10 November 1930 – 9 September 2013 When Riazuddin—that was his full name—died in September at age 82 in Islamabad , international science organizations extolled his contributions to high- energy physics. But in Pakistan, his passing was little noticed. except for a few newspaper lines and a small reference held a month later at Quaid-e-Azam University, where he had taught for decades. In fact, very few Pakistanis have heard of the self-effacing and modest scientist who drove the early design and development of Pakistan’s nuclear program. Riazuddin never laid any claim to fathering the bomb—a job that requires the efforts of many—and after setting the nuclear ball rolling, he stepped aside. But without his theoretical work, Pakistan’s much celebrated bomb makers, who knew little of the sophisticated physics critically needed to understand a fission explosion, would have been shooting in the dark. A bomb maker and peacenik, conformist and rebel, quiet but firm, religious yet liberal, Riazuddin was one of a kind.. Mentored by Dr. Abdus Salam, his seminal role in designing the bomb is known to none except a select few. Spurred by Salam Born in Ludhiana in 1930 the twin brothers, Riazuddin and Fayyazuddin, were often mistaken for each other. Like other lower middle class Muslim children living in a religiously divided community, they attended the Islamia High School run by the Anjuman-i-Islamia philanthropy. The school had no notable alumni, and was similar to the town’s single public and two Hindu-run schools.

    Aurora 2005 EDITORIAL Aurora is GIKI's first and only official science magazine. First published by GIKI Science Society in 1999, it has been revived this year, to cater to the growing demand for such a publication. Aurora's basic aim is to provide a platform for GIKI students to voice their theories and research in various scientific fields. Also, Aurora aims to serve as GIKI's voice in the scientific community, giving an insight as to the scientific activity going on inside GIKI. This issue of Aurora includes Technical articles, Interviews, and a fun section, as well as Final Year Project abstracts and Research papers by prominent people of the field, including many of our own faculty members. It is a great opportunity for GIKI students to express their thoughts and ideas, and take their first steps into the world of scientific research and publication. Abdul Wasae Asad Kalimi Murtaza Safri Umair Sadiq Waqar Nayyar Umair Tariq Abdul Basit Aamir Shah Bilal Riaz Omar Rana Abdul Hannan Foaad Ahmed GIKI Science Society Dr. Jameel-un-nabi Dean, Student affairs Giki institute Apart from being a centre of excellence with regard to academic pursuits, GIKI is also known nationwide for its elaborated and impressive extra curricular culture. Science society has always played a very pivotal role to enrich this culture. AROURA is the official scientific magazine published by GIKI Science Society. It was last published in SPRING 1999 by batch 6. I must congratulate Science Society for reviving this tradition with such a great quality. All the articles and papers from the Faculty and Students of GIK Institute describe the newly emerging technologies.
