Project Proposal

Information Technology (IT) & Formal Literacy Center

1. Project Name: Rotary Vocational & Information Technology Literacy Center.

2. Project Location: Jail Road, Sargodha.

3. Brief Description of Current Situation:

a. Project Objective: To provide basic Information Technology education facilities to the needy people of the area. Our special emphasis will be on the women. In our area women is considered that she has no need for this type of education.

b. Project Description: Free IT education and assistantance will be provided to the needy people. They properly enrolled and advised for the suitable course. We will also guide them for the future career.

c. Project Implementation: We already had a space for this purpose. We will only construct a hall for this project.

4. Financial Budget:

a. Project costing: It's a 2.2 Million Pak Rs. (37000US $). The expenditures will be for the construction of building, furniture, computers, printers and other equipment.

b. Funding Participants: This project will be contributory project of the Rotarian of rotary club Sargodha. We will construct a hall for the computer center, which will cost us Rs. 2.0 Million (25000 US $).

c. Cash Flow Statement: To meet the day-to-day expenses nominal fee will be charged from deserving students. But we will charge full fee from the students who can affords. Every member will also contribute on monthly basis to meet the day-to-day administrative expenses.

5. Results Expected:

Basically this will be a basic IT and Formal Literacy Center. And we are optimistic that in near future we will convert it into a fully modern IT College. As Sargodha has population of more than 3 Million and there is no center where needy students can go to get quality education. We will give special emphasis on the education of Females.

We will conduct special workshops regarding the need for IT education to promote the interest of students towards this vocational IT education.

It is that this literacy center must continue to engage in manpower development but our students must be different and special. Literacy center student must be an agent of change of Technology practice in the country, and initiate a new working culture in our industry, with a view to increase productivity and bring to industry the capacity to innovate. Some graduates should, therefore, become entrepreneurs themselves. They are thus to be so trained by us to build into their value system, a sense of responsibility to their country and a desire to serve for the society. We must continue to interact more closely with other technology institutions and be the leading centers of Technical Teacher training.

As the information Age is ushering in, thanks to the technological advancements, the society will look towards Rotary to be the lead-agents for promoting training, and technology development in many such thrust areas.

6. Project Costing: We will construct the building space for labs and classrooms, now we need equipment only.
