6. Description, Justification a). Introduction:-
and Technical Parameters Chief Minister Punjab, in 2012, was pleased to approve the
establishment of Women University for provision of Higher
Education to the residents of Sialkot and surrounding areas.

The GCWUS ACT 2012 (VII of 2013) was promulgated by

Provincial Assembly of Punjab in January 2013 and the
University has been established by upgrading the Government
Postgraduate College for Women which was already offering 4
year BS programs in 14 subjects in affiliation with University
of Gujrat after getting the status of university the number of BS
Programs have been increased to 18 and the university has
started MS programs in 11 subjects.

The proposed project is of great importance because it is

directly related to the development of women education in
Punjab particularly and nation-wide in general.

The population of the four Tehsils of Sialkot and Number of

Students level in the colleges of these Tehsils is large enough
for establishment of Women University. It will raise the
percentage of students of Sialkot in Educational cities of
Pakistan.

The establishment of this women university will also provide

job opportunities to the highly qualified women of Sialkot and
nearby areas, who otherwise find it difficult to join professional
careers in other areas of Punjab.

The existing campus of GCWUS is housed in the building of

the Govt. Postgraduate College for Women. The available
building infrastructure of the institution is not enough to meet
even the present needs of the students (above 6,000).
5
b). EXISTING FACILITIES:

The Government College Women University, Sialkot at present

consists of three Faculties having 19 Departments.

o 18 departments are offering 4-year Bachelor programs and

eleven departments offer MS programs in addition to BS
Programs. (Annexure – 3).

o A total of 4,581 students are enrolled by GCWUS at 4-year

Bachelor Master level & MS / M.Phil. level whereas the
enrolment in intermediate programs is 1,650. The department
wise student strength is given at Annexure – 3.

o The university has a total of 160 faculty members of which 55

faculty members are employees of Education Department,
Government of the Punjab and 86 are recently employed by the
University. 19 faculty members are on visiting / contract basis.
Further hiring of faculty is in process.

o The existing 160 faculty members which includes 7 Professors, 7

Associate Professors, 41 Assistant Professors, 67 Lecturers, 14
Associate Lecturers, 11 Assistant Lecturer and 16 Visiting /
Contract faculty members are available to impart education at 4-
year BS, MS and Ph. D levels.

o The university has also employed 24 PhD faculty members to

teach MS evening classes. The department wise detail of existing
faculty strength is given at Annexure –10.

o The strength of qualified faculty is not enough to impart high

quality education and execute research activities. Some of the
departments have no regular faculty to run 4-year Bachelor and
Master programs in the department.

o Out of the total 160 faculty members only 24 members holds

Ph. D degree while 51 hold MS/M. Phil whereas 83 are Masters
(16 year) degree holders.

o The department wise detail about qualification of existing

faculty and cross tabulation of department wise faculty positions
and faculty qualification is given at Annexure –10.

o The current status of Teacher Student ratio is given at Annexure

– 4.

o The required lab facilities to the students, faculty and researchers

are not sufficient. Due to shortage of lab facilities students are
made to work in groups of five and sometime more. Existing
6
 labs equipment and available lab support staff is mentioned at
Annexure – 14 & 16.

o Number of books & other media contents as well as subscription

of journals are very limited and not according to the requirement
of the programs offered. A total of 25,000 books are available in
the main library and departmental libraries do not exist at
GCWUS. This has considerably affected the quality of practical
instructions.

o Use of technology for accessing reading material was ignored.

Besides trained manpower to manage library resources is also
missing.

o The condition of physical infrastructure in the university is very

obsolete. The building of Central library is also in depleted
condition.

o The available class rooms are not sufficient to run the ever
increasing academic activities of the university.

o Existing One small staff room shared by all the faculty is not
sufficient.

o One separate administration block has been constructed under

the Govt. of the Punjab funded project but since the revenue
component of the project has not yet been released, the
furniture/fixture could not be purchased and the building cannot
be used. Same is the case of newly constructed multipurpose
hall.

o Similarly, the residential & communal facilities for students and

staff are not sufficient.

o In the only student hostel having the capacity of 250 students

more than 400 students are residing.

o One faculty hostel to accommodate 12 faculty members though

exists but is not usable for want of extensive repair.

o There is no Vice Chancellor’s residence.

o The university has two multipurpose Playgrounds in the campus

area to provide sports and recreational facilities to students. One
of these two grounds is at least 6 feet deep and unusable during
rainy season.

o Transport section of the university consists of only 4 outdated

buses, of which one is unserviceable and the rest are not
sufficient for the current as well as future intake of students.

7
 o Only one car for use by the Vice Chancellor exists but no
transport facility is available for the Registrar, Treasurer,
Controller of Examinations and Deans of the faculties. No
transport is available for the faculty / students movement for R
&D activities.

o Civic amenities and communal facilities like Guest House, on-

campus shopping Center Student’s Counseling & Job Placement
Center etc. does not exist.

o The internal Road Network of the existing campus is now in

considerably depleted condition.

o The decades old water supply system is defective and need

replacement/ up-gradating. The drinking water supplied through
university tube well is unsafe for drinking for more than 6,000
students are studying in this institution and more than 400
students are resident.

o The sewerage line is not connected to any ultimate disposal

outside university rather after pumping is spilled over in the
unconstructed open areas of the university threatening to
students’ health.

o No dispensary is available for medical emergency at the campus.

c). Description and Justification of the Proposed Project

The GCWUS envisaged to double the existing enrollment of
Undergraduate and Graduate programs from approximately 4,581
students. Currently 1,650 students are on its rolls at Inter level. The
GCWUS admits students at Intermediate, Graduate and Postgraduate
levels. It is planned that the GCWUS will run 4-year Bachelor,
Master and Ph. D programs at University level while Intermediate
programs will be managed at College level as Constituent College of
GCWUS. Being the only higher education institution in the area,
there is great pressure for admission at BS and Master levels. But due
to limited existing facilities it seems impossible to run all these
programs in an efficient manner.

The shortage of infrastructure facilities, laboratories and relevant

support staff make it difficult to conduct undergraduate &
postgraduate programs effectively and efficiently

To achieve its objectives and attain the standard of high quality

education institution, the university needs financial & technical
assistance in the following areas;

The details of the proposed requirement is described as under;

1. Civil Work:
(1.1) Construction of New Campus on Eimanabad Road.
The Government of Punjab has allocated a piece of land measuring
200 acres at Eimanabad road for the purpose of establishing a New
Campus of GCWU, Sialkot. Considering the proposed intake of
students and addition of staff (faculty, administrative & technical
supporting staff), and envisioning the future requirement of the
university it is proposed that a proper state of the art campus be
constructed on the acquired 200 acres land in three phases.
Under this project the university will establish the following
10
facilities:
(1.2) New Campus (Eimanabad Road).
o Construction of Boundary wall with fencing
o Provision of water supply, sewerage and sui gas facilities.
o Construction of Academic Buildings
o Construction of Administration Building
o Construction of central library
o Construction of central lab facilities
o Establishment of Project Directorate
o Construction of one wing 144 girls of 512 girls hostel
o Construction of faculty hostel
o Construction of Vice Chancellor’s residence
o External Development
2. Additional Student Intake :
Considering the increasing demand towards university education,
GCWUS also intends to increase its student strength in present and
proposed new disciplines/programs.

Currently GCWUS is offering 4-year Bachelor program in 18

disciplines with student strength of 4,114 but in future the university
will enroll student at 4-year Bachelor level in 20 disciplines including
new proposed fields/programs and the student intake will be over
2445 in next 5 years. It is proposed that the student intake at 4-
year Bachelor level will be increased as provided in the
Annexure- 5.

In addition GCWUS is currently offering M.S/M. Phil program in 11

disciplines with the student strength of 248. In the next year the
university will enroll students at MS level in 13 disciplines with the
student intake of 430 students. The discipline will add up in the years
to come and keeping in view the increasing strength of students the
allocation of seats at MS/ M. Phil level will be also increased as
provided in Annexure – 7.

Introduction of BS – 4 year programs, though a great move forward

nevertheless have had their impact on 2 year B.A. /B.Sc. programs.
The graduates having 14 years education are now finding great
difficulty in getting employment or in getting higher education as the
eligibility criteria for admission in MS/M. Phil is 16 year education.

Like others the graduates (14 years education) from various public
and private colleges of Sialkot city are among the sufferers. The gap
for these graduates can only be bridged through M.A/M.Sc. degree
programs. This situation is a call for GC Women University to play its

11
role.

GCWU Sialkot, in line with its vision 2030 aims to resume the launch
of M.A/M.Sc. programs in different disciplines to facilitate the 2 year
B.A./B.Sc. female graduates in getting employment and in seeking
higher education. This year the University will admit students at
M.A./M.Sc. level in 10 disciplines. The approved seats are 35 per
discipline. The M.A./M.Sc. programs will continue till the time the
B.A./B.Sc. programs continue.

3. Human Resource Development:

(3.1) Faculty
Keeping in view the increase in student intake and introduction on
new undergraduate as well as graduate programs, it is mandatory to
have the faculty of required qualification and proportion to students.
The detail about existing faculty strength and current status of
Teacher Student ratio is given at Annexure – 4 and 9 respectively.
To offer quality education and technical guidance all Professors and
Associate Professors should be Ph. D degree holders while all
Assistant Professors should be at least M. Phil/MS degree holders
with enough experience of teaching and research. Also 40% of
Assistant Professors should be Ph. D and all the Lecturers should be
M. Phil/MS degree holders. These different categories of Teachers
shall be required and tried to be maintained in standard proportion of
Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors and Lecturers
defined by HEC as 1:2:3:4.
By the addition of new faculty the Teacher Student Ratio in all Basic
& Natural Sciences & IT disciplines will become 1:30 while in all
Social Sciences and Arts disciplines the Teacher Student Ratio will be
1:40.
The cost to be incurred for the advanced training of faculty members
to enhance the quality of education & research in various disciplines
will be submitted as a separate project to HED/PHEC.

(3.2) Technical & Non-Technical Supporting Staff:

The existing supporting staff is neither sufficient nor properly trained
hence cannot assist the faculty or teaching assistant to provide
support services in the lab work. Hence, in order to enhance the
quality of lab facilities and assist faculty members & help students
during laboratory work, it is necessary to introduce a new structure of
technical supporting staff, which will consist of new cadre of
technical & supporting staff.
The maintenance of labs & equipment and conducting of
experimental work in the institutes of advanced countries is
successfully done because of such supporting staff. Hence it is
proposed that the following technical and support staff shall be
12
recruited / trained for each of existing and proposed laboratories of
the university.
One Lab Technician who will be qualified and trained in operation
and maintenance of the lab equipment.

One Lab Assistant who will possess relevant qualification, familiar

with experimental work and supervise the work of Lab Technician
and Lab Attendant.

One Lab Attendant to look after the cleanliness and maintenance of

the other equipment and physical assets of the laboratory.

Besides following staff will also be required at departmental level.

One Lab Lecturer who will assist the teacher concerned in conduct of
the experimental work in the laboratory and supervise the work of
other lab support staff.

One Senior Technician who will guide and supervise the group of
Lab Technicians in each department involved in Laboratory work.

The department wise detail of proposed technical support staff for the
existing and new laboratories is given at Annexure – 15.

(3.3) Administrative Staff:-

As the university intends to strengthen the existing administrative
structure of the university to run the administrative & management
system of the university in an efficient manner, the requirement of
additional administrative staff is necessary. For example, new
departments, expansion in existing administrative structure, hostels,
guest house etc. will require more administrative staff. The detail of
proposed administrative staff has been worked out and is given at
Annexure – 13.
4. Equipment:
It is already stated in earlier sections that the university not only
intends to introduce many new program at Bachelor, Master and PhD
level but also intends to strengthen its existing 4 year BS programs.
Besides Improvement of Research quality, development of Linkages,
focus on relevance of research and Commercialization of the applied
research are key areas GCWUS intends to develop, expand and
enhance University’s research programs. In this regard strengthening
of teaching labs of all Science departments as per HEC requirements,
establishing central research lab to facilitate MS/PhD scholars and
providing materials testing facility to the industry of Sialkot for
applied research has been included in the PC-I.
Hence the requirement of Lab equipment as well as modern office
tools is necessary to achieve the proposed goals. The requirement of
equipment for academic departments has been worked out and is
13
given at Annexure – 2a &2a1.
5. Library Facilities:
It has already been mentioned that the present library facilities of
GCWUS, with limited capacity and number of books, are not able to
fulfill the current & future needs of students and faculty. Currently
about 25,000 books are available in the central library for all the
disciplines.
A proper central library is proposed to be established in the
Eimanabad Campus. The complete library will be established in three
phases. In the first phase the library will be established up to a
sufficient level.
The detail of required library facilities with cost estimates is given at
Annexure – 2c.
6. Establishment of ICT infrastructure
The GCWUS lacks ICT infrastructure hence Networking and
communication are not efficient. It is proposed to setup state of the art
ICT infrastructure to meet ever growing use of digital divide. The
projects contains proposal to Purchase of Computer systems and
devices, Establishment of Video Con system and
Setting up a centralized Data Center to run, maintain and provide
online applications for the students, faculty, community and other
stake holders. The detail of required facilities with cost estimates is
given at Annexure –2b.
7. Promotion of R & D Culture:
By the addition of above mentioned facilities the university will
achieve fruitful results if appropriate policies are adopted at
university level as well as by the Government and appropriate
academic culture is developed in the university as in the universities
of International standards.
In order to produce high quality female manpower, improve quality of
teaching, develop research & development culture at the university
and establish effective linkage with related industry to promote rapid
economic growth of the country, it is important that the culture of
such activities be created in the university.
Encouraging faculty and research scholars to work on
commercialization of existing and emerging research areas is
another priority for Advanced Board of Studies responsible to
approve research agenda.
This culture cannot be developed until and unless there is active
& demand oriented study program and research activities
prevailing in the university directly contributing to the needs of
Government, industry and society as in advanced countries.

14
8. Furniture and Fixture:
The requirement of furniture & fixture is necessary with the
construction of new proposed buildings for academic, administration
and hostels.
The furniture/fixture requirements of Old Campus are also catered in
the project proposal. The detail of required furniture & fixture for the
new buildings and for the Old Campus with cost estimates has been
worked out and is given at Annexure – 2d.
9. Transport Facilities:
The existing transport facilities at Government College Women
University consist only of 4 buses of which one is un-serviceable and
one car for the Vice Chancellor.
The university therefore requires addition of new vehicles for
students and staff. The detail of required transport facilities with cost
estimates has been worked out and is given at Annexure –2e.
10. Landscaping & Horticulture:
As the environmental pollution has been reached at alarming stage
throughout the country, it is therefore, necessary to plant more and
more trees for better environment.
Tree plantation, landscaping and gardening possess great aesthetic
value and provide rest & recreation to the people of the area. Trees
purify the air, provide shelter from warm wind, dust, smoke and noise
especially during summer season.
The planting of trees will not only make the area beautiful but also it
will help for better environment and provide healthy atmosphere to
the students & staff residing on the campus. It is proposed that 0.1%
of new construction of buildings will be spent on tree plantation,
Landscaping, gardening and purchase of related machinery etc.
11. Project Implementation Staff:
The detail of project implementation staff for the planning &
execution of this project along with cost estimates is given at given at
Annexure –2f.

Each strategic task and goals will be monitored based on

performance metrics established by experienced panel of
experts constituted by the Vice Chancellor.
The Panel will periodically assess the progress and present
status report for information and mitigation strategies to
complete the project timely and cost effectively.

9. Demand and Supply Analysis
GC Women University Sialkot is situated in the Gujranwala Division. The Gujranwala Division has
6 Districts. The district names are Gujranwala, Gujrat, Hafizabad Mandi Bahauddin, Sialkot and
Narowal. The division, headquartered at the city of Gujranwala, covers an area of 17,206 km2.
According to the 1981 census, the population was 7,522,352, and rose by almost four 4 million to
11,431,058 according to the 1998 census. There in only one female university in the Gujranwala
Division which is GC Women University Sialkot. Prior to establishment of this women university,
16
the female students go to Lahore for higher education. The reason for this limited choice is that was
no women university situated in this division.

The university was established with the objective to provide the higher education to the female
students of these areas. This university serves the students of Gujranwala Division in specific and
the students from all over Punjab in general. The constantly increasing enrolment of students in
higher educational institutions during last decade has created a gap between demand and supply.

Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Gujranwala serves as the major intake source for BS
programs in this university. BISE, Gujranwala comprises of six districts. Almost 62984 students including
43489 female students passed the intermediate examination from BISE Gujranwala in 2015 out of appeared
118564 students. Detail of last five years of intermediate results of BISE Gujranwala is as under:
