While watching he noted that there is very small quantity of socks brands especially in PAKISTAN, so he decided to introduce a new manufacturing organization of socks in PAKISTTAN. He shared his idea with his friends, relatives and family members, every one laugh at him and not a single person gave him serious response. But there was a person who encourages him and supported him allot he was Mr. Naveed. As we know both the brothers were well educated but there is a problem they couldnt afford expense of their dream.

out of own funds including the cost of building, furniture, utilities and vehicles. Each built-a-school project will also be taken up with provision of schools support for three years. INTER-LOOP believes in playing an active role in social development by providing health, education and sports facilities to the less privileged class of the Country. The aim of construction of these schools is to promote quality and formal education for less privileged children in an environment that encourages intellectual, moral and spiritual growth. The preference for construction of schools will be given to the rural areas and urban slums of District Faisalabad, characterized by extreme poverty where people neither have the means nor access to quality education. The Citizens Foundation (TCF) is engaged in various public welfare projects especially in the field of provision of quality education, establishment and management of non-profit educational institutions. TCF is a professionally managed, a non-profit organization and one of the Pakistans leading organization in the field of formal education.

Total cost of Primary Schools will be approximately 113 Million Rupees including 3.97 Million Rupees as three years school support expenses per school. ASSISSTANCE FOR IDPs OF SWAT / GOJRA: The mass exodus of population from and surrounding areas of Swat was a human tragedy of great dimension. Every citizen played its part contributing to well being of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons). INTER-LOOP Limited was second to none in contributing its Corporate Responsibility. INTER-LOOP immediately dispatched food items and distributed amongst IDPs of District Nowshera, as the people of these areas deserved full support and needed to be treated with sympathy, love and kindness. Moreover, arrangements for provisions of meal for IDPs of Gojra were made through Government Administration Gojra during and after the disturbance period. Optimism and hope were the galvanizing spirit to accomplish the Corporate Responsibility by INTER-LOOP Limited. Earthquake Tent Village: INTER-LOOP is proud to be a part of the biggest ever humanitarian aids for the largest natural disaster that ever struck Pakistan in October 2005, killing over 80,000 people and rendering millions homeless. INTER-LOOP was quick to show solidarity to its countrymen struck by this great catastrophe and immediately chalked out a plan to set up a Tent Village in Muzzaffarabad to ease the suffering of the victims. Chattar Kalas Kohala, Muzzaffarabad was selected as the appropriate site because of its proximity to water supply, easy road access and availability of electricity. INTER-LOOP

SUGGESTIONS:

Our personal suggestion to INTER-LOOP that they should also manufacture for PAKISTAN. There all production export to Foriegn Countries and unfortunately PAKISTAN again bought that sock from them on high prices. If INTER-LOOP directly sell their products to PAKISTANI purchasers then it would be benifitial for PAKISTANI people.
