Description, justification and technical parameters

6.1

Description

Science and Technology has an unprecedented impact on economic growth and social
development. Knowledge has become a source of economic might and power.
Underdevelopment of Pakistan is not so much due to poor resource endowment as to its
inability to exploit the available resources because of inadequacy in Science and
Technology capability.
Unfortunately, the development process in the country has been largely on technology
imported from advanced countries, without building up an adequate local technology
infrastructure, thus leading to a situation of excessive dependence on supplier nations. This
tends to stifle the growth and creativity of the indigenous S&T sector but can also in
extreme cases, be exploited for exercises of undue political and economic pressure on the
recipient country. Scientists and Technologists needs to be provided full opportunity to play
their due part in creating a self reliant S&T system and stimulate demand for domestic
technologies. As such there is increasing awareness in the government to gain ability in
S&T at every level and so it has attached a high importance to become a producer of
technology.
To achieve the objective the process has to be started with popularization of S&T at various
levels of the society. Sub regional Science & Technology Competition (STC) would be organized
for general public as well as students from education institutions in basic science subjects.
The STC would be completed in two stages. In the 1st stage, STCs would be organized in 9 sub
regions of the province. These sub regions are,
1. Abbottabad sub region (Haripur & Abbottabad districts)
2. Masehra sub region (Mansehra, Battagram & Kohistan districts)
3. Peshawar sub region (Peshawar & Charsadda districts)

Mardan sub region (Mardan, Nowshera, Swabi)

Kohat sub region (Hangu, Kohat, & Karak districts)
D.I.Khan sub region (Lakki, Bannu, Tank & D.I.Khan districts)
Malakand sub region (Upper & Lower Dir, Buner districts ,)
Swat sub region (Mingora, Shangla Malakand districts)
Chitral,sub region (Chitral district)

In the 2nd and final stage, the STC would culminate in a provincial level competition among the
winners of the 1st stage. All the projects at every stage would be screened through a selection criteria
especially devised for this purpose. A committee would be constituted as the jury to select the
winning projects employing the criteria.
The winners of all the competitions would receive cash prizes, trophies and certificates.
Encouragement prizes would also be awarded to next best projects. The teachers of the Grand
winners, the Grand runner up and the second runner up would also be given cash prizes and
commendation certificates in each competition.

All the competitions would be organized in consultation and possible collaboration with
Education department, respective district governments and interested organizations willing
to support the competitions.
A Data Base of all the participants would be established to monitor for a certain period track
of the careers of participating students. This would enable S&T department to assess the
success of the project interventions.
The Advisory Council would be re-constituted and invigorated to provide advice to the
government and the department for well-informed decision making for furtherance of the
S&T in the province. Both the forums would comprise of eminent scholars, technologists
and others. After thorough deliberations the exact composition and detailed ToRs would be
formulated in due course of time.
All the above cited activities would be backed by district level awareness campaign and
organizing workshops and seminars on diverse themes. In which eminent scholars would be
invited for interview, which would be telecasted and published. A quarterly newsletter
would be published of the model and technology competitions and other S & T activities in
the province with winners given prominent coverage. A separate website would also be
created on which the proceedings would be uploaded and displayed. The winners would
also be given projection on electronic media. Special documentaries would also be
telecasted on S&T particularly of achievements of in-country scientists for invoking interest
in S&T. Possibilities would also be explored for formation of S&T society and publication
of a journal to provide a platform to the scientists to publish their research articles and
papers.
6.2

Justification

Technology is the product of interaction of science with society and is conditioned by the
social, cultural and economic environment of its development. Indiscriminate import of
technology can prove harmful to national interests not only because it tends to kill local
initiatives but also because even where the imported technology is relevant to the national
and provincial needs its sources could suddenly dry up on account of extraneous factors
including political considerations. This calls for building of indigenous technology base,
moulding of attitudes and development of competencies and motivation at all levels
especially at grass root level. There is a need to increase the awareness level of the people in
general and students, researchers and policy makers in particular.
3

The foundation of sound education for creative scientific work has to be laid early. Most of
the schools stress on rote learning for examination. Little is done to cultivate critical attitude
and interest in the study of nature or experimental work. The number of schools, which have
adequately equipped science laboratories or libraries, is small. Science teaching does not
involve any doing of science; it consists of giving information about science. There is
little understanding of the scientific method or of creative scientific activity. The reasons for
this state of affairs are many. As such the best way to popularize and promote S&T is to
target and sensitize young fertile brains of middle, secondary and higher secondary school
students. Organizing a science model competition/exhibition could just do the trick and
initiate a process towards a change in attitude. The healthy environment of competition
would bring out of them a scientist in the making. The purpose of the project is to provide
opportunity to children to test their creativity, knowledge and scientific genius and slove
real world problems in the process. Moreover students thinking to change their disciplines
and science subjects would review their decisions. The underlying concept is to infuse spirit
of discovery in school children and increase their interest in S&T.
A major portion of the populace though illiterate/undereducated has fertile brains and
possesses capabilities to develop, modify and improve technologies. They only need
enabling environment to flourish and contribute to the cause of S&T. Current initiative will
help to identify and promote people with extraordinary capabilities in technology
development in the province so that society at large is benefited from their brilliance. This
would be the most effective way of mobilizing the people to innovate, adapt and apply such
knowledge into practice.
To recoup the time lost in obtaining capabilities in S&T and to provide direction, guidance
and independent input mechanisms like an advisory body and/or a think tank (Provincial
Advisory Council on S & T) needs to be invigorated. Current plan would facilitate the reconstitution and activation of such forums/bodies.
In order to ensure sustained interest of the general public, it is necessary, that people are
kept regularly informed of the advances in S & T as well as their application, and a
systematic campaign launched to involve them in programs for technological development
in both rural and urban areas.
To assess whether the current initiative has delivered the expected results a Data Base of all
the participants of the competitions (both school level and general public) would be
established and maintained to track their careers up-to a certain period.
6.3 Reasons for Revision of PC-1
Pay of staff:
Due to amendments in the policy governing appointment to project posts as circulated by the
Establishment & Administration Department Govt: of NWFP, vide No. SOR-VI/E&AD/ 1-25/2007
dated: 17th October 2008, the existing funds as allocated in the approved PC-I have proved
insufficient to meet the expenditure for monthly salaries of the project staff for the remaining project
period.
Modifying the scope of competitions:
To avoid repetition and instead of holding independent competitions for general public and students,
it is decided to merge the STC and GPSTC under the title STC and organize 9 sub regional and
one provincial competition annually.

Demand and supply analysis

There were no organized S&T activities in NWFP prior to the creation of NWFP
Department of Science and Technology. NWFP has distinguished itself as the first province
to create a full-fledged department of Science and Technology. The situation demands a
cautious and confident start. The best way is to start from the grass root coupled with an
organized awareness campaign especially targeting students and people with extraordinary
talent of S&T. This would help in attracting people towards S&T, which would slowly and
surely decrease dependence on importation of technologies.
The attitude of the people especially of young generations needs to be molded towards
adopting S&T as a career by choice not by compulsion. Young talent will get motivated
through participation in the science model competitions and could form the basis of a breed
of dedicated young scientists for future. Only then the country can have a hopeful future.
Highlighting the achievements of prominent scholars and scientists and technologists would
not only be a tribute to their contribution but would inspire the young and old alike. The
science teachers of the winners would also be awarded cash prizes, which would also
motivate them to perform better. The activities under the project would also help in building
the public image of the department.

Financial Plan and mode of financing

Funds will be provided in the ADP 2008-09 (Annexure-VIII)

11.

Project benefits and analysis

11.1

Financial
There will be no direct financial benefit to the government at least in the
short term. Through the competition government would invest in the students
for production of future scientists and technologists. Through the
competition and later on through moral and financial support government
would identify and promote indigenous technologies, which could save
government precious foreign exchange in terms of importation of
technologies.

11.2

Social benefits with indicators

o Students, their families and their teachers would be engaged in healthy
activities
o Eminent scholars would get due recognition in the society
o Increased awareness among the people about the importance of S&T
6

11.3

o Technologists in general would have additional sources of income and

enhanced social status
Employment generation (direct and indirect)
The project will generate limited direct employment i.e. project staff but in
terms of indirect employment the promotion of technologies would trigger a
chain of activities in which material supplier, labor etc would be engaged. It
would also ensure self-employment for the person engaged in technology
development.

11.4

Environmental impact
It sure will have positive impact on environment. Technologies would be
promoted which are environment friendly. Even some of the technologies
could be developed for the improvement of environment.

11.5

Impact of delays on project cost and viability

Delays in fund release and in response of relevant departments could lead to
cost escalation but will have little impact on the viability of the project at
least in short term.

12.

Implementation schedule:
The project will be implemented in all the districts of NWFP. The project has been designed
for a three & a quarter of a year pilot term (four financial years).
