Syed Mansoob Ali Zaidi1 INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPACT ON ECONOMY Honorable Chief Guest, Mr. President, delegates, members and professional colleagues! Welcome to the todays proceedings! Today’s symposium looks at the most important sector of infrastructure development in economic growth of the country. Several global regions, particularly the developing countries face many challenges for the infrastructural development in the economic and social fields. Pakistan is going through the same set of problems as are being faced by others in this aspect. The problems are even worse in the case of Pakistan because of a faster rate of population growth and also migration to the cities. To ensure a proper access to the services the public infrastructural programmes are thus required to be implemented at a matching rate. However, in spite of serious efforts, there is still a backlog of infrastructural development virtually all over the country. In case the issues remain unattended or slow in implementation, the lack of infrastructural development is likely to result into a growing social and economic disorder in the near future. The unequal levels of development, present another dimension of a problem associated with the infrastructural development plans. Broadly the infrastructural development could be divided into three main groups, i.e.: 1 Physical Water Supply, Drainage, Roads, energy etc. 2 Social Housing, Medical, Education, etc. Business Districts, Industry, Transport, 3 Economic Communication, etc. It is important to note that there is no use of spending on development projects, if we allow these to deteriorate or vandalized. All infrastructures have to be adequately protected, maintained and upgraded on a regular basis. Provision of basic services (electricity, water, sanitation) to every citizen is the basic right. But this could be permitted with certain conditions, and a due level of moral diligence both from the receivers and the authorities. Our population growth and changes in demography, such as people moving from rural to urban areas, demand that government should strive to provide the infrastructure for more and more people and should also take interest in developing the new areas with due consideration that our natural resource is not unlimited. Water is one such example being a dwindling 1 Convener Symposium Committee / Associate, National Development Consultants (Pvt) Ltd. 2 Key Note resource. We must therefore provide and plan infrastructure development and look at alternatives in a manner that does not put our future generations on handicap. All infrastructural programmes are important, but some are

    Wapda to Add 364 Mw to National Gird This Year

    WAPDA TO ADD 364 MW TO NATIONAL GIRD THIS YEAR By Mansoor Ahmad Lahore : The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) would add 364 MW of hydroelectricity this year in the power supply system of the national grid, the chairman of the authority told The News on Wednesday. “WAPDA is also working on projects that will generate 35,500 MW of hydroelectricity including 22,800 MW run of the river projects”, said. “We are committed to ensure that Pakistan takes full advantage of its hydroelectricity production potential”, he said. The first unit of 96 MW hydropower project at Jinnah Barrage has already been commissioned and it would start operating on full capacity by the end of this year, he said. Durrani said that the 130 MW Allai Khwar project at Battagram is almost complete and would start generating power within few months. “Duber Khwar – a 130 MW hydroelectric project at Kohistan, is scheduled to generate full power by December 2012”, he added. In addition Satpara Dam is generating 17.36 MW of hydroelectricity. The 72 MW Khan Khwar hydropower project in 2011 is already generating its installed capacity, Durrani said. “This is a humble contribution of WAPDA to reduce the gap between demand and supply of electricity”, he said. Work on high capacity hydroelectricity projects is in full swing. He said the feasibility study and detailed engineering and design of 7,100 MW Bunji project in Gilgit Baltistan has been completed and is currently under review of WAPDA experts. He said feasibility study of Dasu Dam in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been completed.

There are factors which inuence the behavior of states about mutual relations. In this modern world, states compete through, instead of geopolitical, geo-economic means. These means are inuencing Pak-China relations. Through Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China is strengthening its relations with Asia, Europe and Africa. BRI is an investment of about $4-8 trillion and would cover two-third land mass of the world, across 65 countries with 4.4 billion population. Under BRI, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a $62 billion investment which is divided mainly into four sections which are: development of Gwadar port, Energy, industrial development and road infrastructure. Energy is the major component and $34 billion are being invested to generate 10,000MW of electricity by utilizing diverse options. Under CPEC, there is a cooperation for the development of railways and infrastructure of roads. Similarly, $622 million are allocated for the development of Gwadar port. Recently, the, care taker, Prime Minister of Pakistan inaugurated a ber optic project as an essential part of CPEC. It was completed in $44 million by Special Communication Organization (SCO). 1 Syed Waqas Haider Bukhari is Assistant Professor in the Department of Interna�onal Rela�ons, Lahore Garrison University (LGU) 02 A Strategic Overview Introduction In International system, the end of Cold War brought enormous changes in states’ relations.

Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Engineering & Technology, Taxila 47050, Pakistan 2. Department of Electrical Engineering, GCT, Abbottabad, Pakistan [email protected] Abstract: Pakistan has abundant water resources. Hydro-potential resources can play effective role in contributing towards energy security as well as energy independence of Pakistan. This research paper delineates hydro potential in Pakistan. At present, Pakistan is facing severe short fall of electric energy. A brief history and the present situation of the hydro-electricity production, its consumption in the country and importance of utilization of water resources for the production of electric power have been discussed. Predictions to solve energy crises are made on the basis of empirical data and preliminary observations. The root causes of the shortfall in energy generation, an estimated forecast of demand and generation of electricity for the next twenty years has also been predicted. Energy projections have been discussed in detail. [T. MAhmoo, H. Khan, M.A. Choudhry. Pakistan’s Hydro Potential and Energy Crisis.
