(UMT.Lahore, 2017) Muhammad Khizar Amin; Muhammad Jahangir Malik; Hussain Ali; Hafiz Muhammad Musab Zafar
The exploration of the failure factor of wind turbine power projects in Sindh Pakistan is the major concerns of the dynamic changing behavior in the wind generation industry of Pakistan. Pakistan is nascent in the wind turbine power generation with limited numbers of plants in operational. Execution in the coastal area with changing behavior of seasonal effect destroy the synchronism of work breakdown structure and effect the fate of the project. The project faced the issues of cost-overrun, time slippage and barrier in communication which lead towards project failure. After identification this problem, the jury School of Professional Advancement decided to allocate the research topic “Exploration of the failure factor of wind turbine power project in Sindh Pakistan” as a final year project. Research considering the failure factors in the perspective of project management body of knowledge areas, and coastal infrastructure and environmental. Sampling frame of the study is the Wind turbine power projects in Sind of Pakistan. The unit of analysis is the individual experts of wind turbine energy sector. All plants are normally similar with respect to the product (generation of electricity), processes and procedures. The researcher found the five dominant factor which have strong relation with project failure. (1-poor coordination, 2-poor progress tracking, 3-unrealistic budget estimates, 4- non concrete funding resources, 5-lack of communication). Recommendation after exploring failure factors are, PMI RACI tool can be used to overcome the poor coordination, Earned Value Management System can be used for good progress tracking, Top down and Bottom up budget estimation approach can be used for realistic budget estimation, project funding requirement tool can be solved funding resources problem and communication management plan is used to overcome the lack of communication in wind turbine power projects.

Enhancing the employability of transgender community in lahore
(UMT.Lahore, 2017) Hafiz Hashaam Ahmad; Sajal Faheem; Yasir Ali Khan; Arslan Gul
Transgender community is the most neglected community in our society. They have to face many problems and difficulties starting from their homes and society. They do not get equal opportunities for education, jobs and businesses. They are being discriminated on the basis of their gender. The purpose of this project is to identify the common skills set of the transgender community and how we can help them to enhance their employability. For the purpose of data collection, we have conducted focus group discussions with transgender community to identify the skills set and interview with potential employers to identify the deficiencies in transgender community because of which employers do not prefer to hire them. Transgender people are mostly good in fine and creative work; makeup, cooking, stitching, embroidery, dress designing, acting and dancing. The reasons why employers do not prefer to hire them are; low education level, goodwill, communication and their appearance; their makeup and dressing. To fulfill these deficiencies, KSS will organize and award certifications which are comprised of IT skills for educated people, basic skills; cooking, stitching and makeup for uneducated people and management skills for both educated and uneducated people. These certifications will enhance and validate their skills and will enhance the job opportunities for them. Besides that KSS will also work as bridge between the employers and transgender community to get opportunities for them.

(UMT.Lahore, 2018) Raheel Safdar; Kashaf Saleem; Rabbia Khalid
This study has been initiated to evaluate the fundamental controversies and threats confront by Industrialist while setting up their factories in PIEDMC.(Punjab Industrial Estate Management And Development Company). Public-Private partnership is the utmost essential shaft and a leading driver of the expansion of national economy. In contempt of symbolic input to the economy, this sector continues to face assertive hurdles. This study is anticipated at expanding the competency of the Documentation process in PIEDMC Industrialization is a key driver for any country to boost the economic condition, social uplift, employment generation and poverty alleviation. Keeping in view this vision, the Punjab Government has set up Punjab Industrial Estates Development and Management Company (PIEDMC). PIEDMC develops industrial estates and provide state of the art infrastructure including roads, drainage, water supply, sewerage system, electrification network, security system, rescue 1122, grid station and amenity areas. PIEDMC provides facilities to the industrialists including sale of developed industrial plots, building plan approval, transfer, electricity connection, water connection and complaint registration of the industrialists. This research intends to find out the issues industrialists face when the setup the industry in the industrial estates of PIEDMC. The individual industrialists who are currently operating in the industrial estates and the other industrialist who are the prospect clients were interviewed once with non-contrived study settings and minimal researcher involvement. Focus group discussions were carried out with the management to get the point of view and for validation of the findings. Since the research was qualitative, Nvivo software was used. After thematic analysis through Nvivo different queries and analysis were performed. Based on the Nvivo finding it was observed that the issues industrialists were facing were of two categories. There are issues which are directly related to PIEDMC called “internal issues” and the issues where PIEDMC is not involved are called “external issues” these issues were mapped, nodes were created and the number of coded reference were recorded. Mostly they were satisfied with the services being rendered by PIEDMC but they reported issues of high plot prices, labour transportation, drainage system failure in rainy season, fiscal incentive, missing amenity areas. Largely they were not satisfied with the services provided by other government departments they need even if they set up the industrial unit in the industrial estates of PIEDMC. These departments are Environment Protection Department (EPD), Punjab Employees Social Security Institutions (PESSI), Employees Old Age Benefit Institution (EOBI), Revenue Department, Industries Department etc. PIEDMC does not provide services to deal with these departments and has no authority to regulate them. The industrialists have to deal with these government departments to get approvals or register the industrial units which cause the waste of time and even then they are not facilitated accordingly. It is recommended that there should be a policy framework to regulate all the other government departments involved. PIEDMC should be given authority and a One Window Center should be housed in the PIEDMC. PIEDMC representatives should be the interface between the industrialists and other government departments. All services (approvals or registrations) provided by other government departments should be offered under one roof. Through automation of the system, applicant should be able to check the current status any time. All services should be provided with defined timelines and process flow. This will increase the transparency and accountability, minimize the costs to applicant, effective, efficient and corruption free service delivery.

Pakistan is the country with vast natural and cultural resources that can be used for sustainable tourism. It is estimated by the Federal and provincial government that tourism will add US$7.1 billion to the overall national economy till 2025 therefore this sector must be taken into consideration. It is seen that these areas are still lacking the basic facilities including health and safety, cleanliness, proper road and sanitation system etc. The hotels present in these areas are not up to the mark. Some of the good hotels present there are demanding more than the economical price for the single night to stay. The local and international tourist visiting these areas always demand basic equipments for the recreational activities like hiking, boating etc which is not readily available. Security of the tourist is another issue as these areas doesn’t have any medical camps, first aid services or the emergency services available at the blink of eye. Keeping in view the these problems, we can done a research in this regard. This research is generally focused on the improvement of the tourism facility in these areas. For that we have conducted a feasibility analysis for the construction of glamping pods resort in the area of Kumrat, Pakistan.
