6. 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)

3

4. Mardan sub region (Mardan, Nowshera, Swabi) 5. Kohat sub region (Hangu, Kohat, & Karak districts) 6. D.I.Khan sub region (Lakki, Bannu, Tank & D.I.Khan districts) 7. Malakand sub region (Upper & Lower Dir, Buner districts ,) 8. Swat sub region (Mingora, Shangla Malakand districts) 9. 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.

4

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 re-

constitution 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.

after completion of the Project (Annexure IX)

9. 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.

10. 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

7

o Technologists in general would have additional sources of income and enhanced social status

11.3 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).

13. Management structure and manpower requirements including specialized skills

during execution and operational phases:

The project will be implemented through team based in the directorate of S&T comprising
