Under the management of Electronic Government Directorate,
FPSC project is completed and can be viewed at http://www.fpsc.gov.pk/. This project
has converted the lengthy process of Federal public
service commission's candidate selection for future
bureaucracy to a seamless online procedure where
candidates can apply online for Government jobs,
check the status of their application, and confirm
the exact examination dates.
The scope of this project was to re-engineer and
automate the recruitment and back office applications
for FPSC, build a local area network with provision
of hardware required for operation of the proposed
applications within FPSC, training of end users
and support staff in a new environment, information
for web savvy candidates to find related information
without physically visiting FPSC.
Electronic Government Directorate has executed
yet another important project regarding online access
to statutory and case laws at district bar associations.
The purpose of this project was to ensure the availability
of Statutory and Case laws to the lawyers who were
unable to maintain expensive libraries.
Previously there was no systematic or organized
method of providing access to the latest Statutory
and Case Laws to the vast mass of lawyers. A few
reputed law firms, that charge substantially high
legal fees, could afford to maintain law libraries
and to engage manpower to update the Statutes and
Case Law. The vast majority of lawyers who generally
practiced at district level or represented middle
class citizens before superior judiciary did not
possess such law libraries. The Bar Councils and
Bar Associations maintained law libraries but the
printed books were insufficient to cater the needs
of all lawyers. Additionally, these libraries did
not possess latest editions due to lack of resources
This project helped the bar associations a lot
and provided them with:
Online access to database of Statutory and Case
Laws has been provided to 70 DBAs , 11 HBAs, 1
SBA and there august courts
Operators to each Bar Associations
24/7 Internet connectivity to each bar association
and august courts
EGD in collaboration
with a nationalized bank has installed 18 ATMs at
different locations in Islamabad/Rawalpindi for
facilitation of payment of salaries to federal government
employees. The locations selected are near government
offices and residential localities where there is
a concentration of low and middle income government
employees.
Presently government
provides salary disbursement lists to individual
branches which are credited to the employee's accounts
on the first day of the month. Majority of the employees
rush towards banks on the day of payment, thereby
huge queues are seen at the bank branches. Employees
have to wait in line for considerable length of
time due to rush at the bank counters. Due to the
manual nature of processing the time taken to process
individual salary takes relatively longer time.
The employees have to wait for longer duration and
the bank's branches have to remain open till late
in the evening to process payment made by them.
Under this project,
a 24 hours, 7 days a week banking facility will
be provided to government employees. It will also
benefit the banking sector as the employees, will
draw only required amount of cash each day and therefore
more money will be retained at banks. The present
project is expected to induce more banks to follow
and target the low and middle income government
employees who have been neglected till now. It may
be mentioned here that persons other than government
employees can also avail the facility of these 8
ATMs. Recently "1- link" has been established. Due
to this development the ATM cards issued for use
at these 18 ATMs can also be used at all ATM Machines
of the following banks:
To ensure that the
new entrants to the public service are IT and Computer
literate, a training programme has been initiated
for Probationary Officers (newly recruited) of the
Government. For this purpose IT labs have been established
at 11 Academies of the government. The project envisages
development of course material and establishment
of information technology laboratories at the Civil
Services Academy, Lahore and ten other specialized
training institutions and provide faculty for imparting
hands-on-training to probationary officers during
their entire stay of 18 months in these academies.
The objective of this project is to enable the government
probationary officers to develop skills for the
new operating environment of E-Government. Specifically
this means imparting knowledge and getting hands-on-training
on personal computers so as to become fluent in
using the personal computers.
The facilities have
been provided at:
Civil Services Academy
Director General, Foreign Services Academy,
Islamabad
National Police Academy, Islamabad
Foreign Trading Institute of Pakistan, Islamabad
Information Services Academy, Islamabad
Directorate of Training and Research (Income
Tax), Islamabad
Pakistan Railways Training Institute, Lahore
Directorate of Training & Research (Customs/Excise/Sales
Tax), Karachi
Under this project, a process mapping
and essential re-engineering study was undertaken
at then the Ministry of Science & Technology.

A project is being prepared with
the help of this study to setup an e-office at the
Ministry of Information Technology. The software
developed in the course of implementation will be
adapted for requirements of other federal divisions.
The Project involved
outsourcing of survey work to be carried out at
all the Federal Divisions to establish the requirements
for Local Area Networking, internetworking of the
Divisions and hardware, including Servers and PCs
so as to provide the basic infrastructure for electronic
communications within and between Divisions.

under this project will enable EGD in development
of RFQ and BOQs for the implementation of Local
Area Networking within and between the Divisions
as well as development of detailed specifications
and quantities for the hardware, Servers & PCs
etc that will be required.
The project was
undertaken because the existing networking facility
is mostly either not available within the Divisions
or is confined to a few work locations. Secondly,
each workplace is not provided with a computer,
which is an essential requirement for enabling electronic
communications within and between the Divisions
The project was
very focused on capacity building and institutional
strengthening of provincial IT setups. Since E-Government
is focused on new ways of conducting government
business, the project has been conceived to deliver
technical knowledge and skills to provincial IT
Departments, thus equipping them with technical
experts required to play proactive role towards
the roll out of National IT Policy.
The project envisages
engaging Technical experts for Provincial IT departments
to enhance the technical capacity of departments,
