Pakistani Swedish Institute of Technology Landhi Karachi was established in the year 1957 with the Technical Assistance by Royal Swedish Government. The institute is situated at main National High way Landhi, Quaidabad, Karachi. The most of Machinery & Equipment was provided by Swedish Government about 50 years back have become old and now it needs repair and updatation. During the year 1999, Technical Education Project (TEP) provided Machinery & Equipment worth of Million of rupees for strengthening of existing Labs & work shops and also introduced new Technology of Printing Graphic and Arts Technology, but up till to-date no teaching faculity of this technology has been provided. The institute has engaged Teachers in Printing Graphic & Arts Technology and in other Technonologies on Temporary basis and paying their salaries out of Non-Government funds. 2. During last 05 years, the enrollment of students keeping in view public demand have been increased, therefore institute is facing shortage of furniture and fixtures. Although the institute has recently been repaired and renovated by the Education works Department, but there is still need of repair and maintenance of left over wings, such as wood work Production Unit and Garment Production Unit. Since institute was originally designed on Swedish Pattern, under which main emphasis was given to practical training, but due to switching on revised syllabus of Annual System in the year 1990, the practical aspect of this institute is weakened. 3. There is need of additional Class rooms in all (04) Departments of Electrical, Mechanical, Garment and Printing Graphic and Arts Technology with creation of Offices of instructional Staff. (2) 4. Besides academic activities, the institute possesses two production units, which have become defunct by the Ex-management in the year 2000. Therefore there is need of revival of these production Units on urgent basis, if other wise the machinery and equipments worth of Millions of rupees and raw material lying in these units will get further deterioration 5. The institute possesses a residential Colony for staff of the institute, the basic amenities e.g water Supply, Sewerage, Electrification and roads within the campus and in the colony need repair and maintenance. More over it is pertinent to be mention that due to non availability of electric meters on each Quarter in staff colony the Government is bearing heavy loss towards the recovery of electricity charges therefore there is need of installation of Electric Meters in Staff colony. 6. Presently more than, 2000 Students are pursuing Technical Education in the institute and about 100 employees are rendering service, but the institute has no transport / conveyance facilities. Therefore they need a coach to fetch the staff and students. (3) 2. Need Assessment. a‐ Building and basic amenities e.g Water supply system, Electrification, Sewerage system and internal roads need repair and maintenance. b‐ Repair and Maintenance of 500 KVA Sub station. c‐ There is need of Latest Equipments and Machinery, computers, furniture, library books and other physical facilities to strengthen the capability of institute. d‐ Filling up of vacant posts of Teachers, Supporting Staff, on urgent basis. e‐ Revival of Production Units. f‐ Allocation of adequate funds to meet the cost of instructional material and operational cost of the institute. g‐ Transportation Facilities for Staff and Students. h‐ Construction of under ground water tank for storage of drinking water. i‐ Installation of separate Electric meter in the Institute Staff colony. j‐ Construction of Electronic Lab, class room & Workshop for newly introduced Electronic Technology. k‐ Many equipment and machinery are received through TEP 2005‐06 but equipments are without accessories and no training about equipments utilization is given. for example: Thermodynamic Trainer , Hydraulic Trainer , PLC Trainer.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological frameworks from urban studies to analyze the social and historical processes of urbanization that have led to the perception of Karachi as a city of violence. It then uses the distinction that Michel de Certeau draws between strategy and tactic in his seminal work The Practice of Everyday Life to analyze how Karachiites inhabit, imagine, and invent their city in the midst of – and in spite of – ongoing urban violence.

  • Ecological Impbalances in the Coastal Areas of Pakistan and Karachi
    Pakistan Journal of Marine Sciences, VoL4(2), 159-174, 1995. REVIEW ARTICLE ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCES IN THE COASTAL AREAS OF PAKISTAN AND KARACID HARBOUR Mirza Arshad Ali Beg 136-C, Rafahe Aam Housing Society, Malir Halt, Karachi-75210. ABSTRACT: The marine environment of Pakistan has been described in the context of three main regions : the Indus delta and its creek system, the Karachi coastal region, and the Balochistan coast The creeks, contrary to concerns, do receive adequate discharges of freshwater. On site observations indicate that freshwater continues flowing into them during the lean water periods and dilutes the seawater there. A major factor for the loss of mangrove forests. as well as ecological disturbances in the Indus delta is loss of the silt load resulting in erosion of its mudflats. The ecological disturbance has been aggravated by allowing camels to browse the mangroves. The tree branches and trunks, having been denuded of leaves are felled for firewood. Evidence is presented to show that while indiscriminate removal of its mangrove trees is responsible for the loss oflarge tracts of mangrove forests, overharvesting of fisheries resources has depleted the river of some valuable fishes that were available from the delta area. Municipal and industrial effluents discharged into the Lyari and Malir rivers and responsible for land-based pollution at the Karachi coast and the harbour. The following are the three major areas receiving land-based pollution and whose environmental conditions have been examined in detail: (l) the Manora channel, located on the estuar}r of the Lyari river and serving as the main harbour, has vast areas forming its western and eastern backwaters characterized by mud flats and mangroves.

  • ANTIQUITY of KARACHI (SINDH) (Read in Seminar on Karachi)
    ANTIQUITY OF KARACHI (SINDH) (Read in Seminar on Karachi) By M.H. Panhwar Conventional historians adhere to the written records and consider any thing otherwise as guess work. Archaeology a well developed science digs out people and not things as is generally believed by historians and they ignore it most of the time. There are other parameters like environments, ecology and climates of the past and the possible human reaction to them but these need detailed scientific study in the various disciples. In general the historians are not environmentalist or climatologist and the latter in-turn are not interested in history, which thus has remained conventional and only for the layman. Now a days history is categorised as social science and can be fully analysed with multi-disciplinary approach, rather than depending upon written works which are bound to have errors to the extent of writer’s own beliefs and perception of the things and times. Archaeologists have hit upon some sites like Orangi, Landhi, Allahdino Chakhundi etc., and professor Rauf of Karachi University had collected microlithic tools from scores of sites around Karachi, but these can not be considered city of Karachi itself. Karachi as we know was a city depending upon trade by import and exports of goods. It handled it through its port. The township has consisted of traders, labourers, boatmen and fishermen. The latter caught fish for the use in city as well as export after drying it. Based on the economy of the people, the history of Karachi is directly connected with that of its harbour.
