6. Description, justification and technical parameters:

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:

To achieve the above mentioned objectives, new inventiveness will be introduced.

Strengthening the R & D Facilities:

The institute have existing R & D lab in working order but there is a need to further strengthen the
lab and equipment facilities for practical and applied researches for students and Faculty Staff. Due to
this project we propose to obtain state-of-the art lab and field research equipment to start R&D
activities on issues of national and international importance which will contribute to the overall goals
of enhancing quality education/research.

Strengthening and Capacity Building of Faculty:

The faculty members are full of activity (busy in teaching) and find no time for research and field
work activities. As a result the research students are serious suffering because of little supervision
and guidance input from the overloaded faculty staff. Hence there is a serious need to cover up the
gaps and shortfall through hiring of new faculty positions for teaching purpose to undergraduate and
postgraduate students so that senior faculty members have sufficient time for doing and supervision
of research and development activities to produce quality products in line with the market demands.

Strengthening library & other infrastructure facilities:

Library should be rich form up to date books journals and latest systems so student can download
eBooks of their interest. Student should have access of digital library not only inside the institute.
Educate student in way they don’t feel like they are entering in to prison instead of library.

No class and exams are arrange in lab, make lab free any time, so students are able to use system
according to their needs.

JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT:

In 1999 the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa declared the institute autonomous through
notification No. So (UE) 1-47/98 on the 12-6-199 as the institute of Management sciences.

Institute of Management Sciences is the foremost management school of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and
its recognition has been extended beyond the frontier. Today Imsciences offer degree programs for
Business administration, Information technology, Economics, Development studies and Public health
and offer morning and evening classes. As such student enrollment has been increased while the
teaching and research infrastructure facilities remained the same.
Therefore there is an urgent need to strengthen and upgrade the necessary teaching, research and
other academic infrastructure facilities at the IMSciences in line with existing education policy for
providing scientific and technological education.
