EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report is detailed explanation of the community development project of our module of
“leadership and community development” under the supervision of our honorable professor
Mr. Usman Sadiq. The project is about the community development we did in the village
near ring road named as “Marl Mari”. We have developed the education sector of the
community with best of our effort. This report comprises of the details of the whole plan as
well as execution of the plan. There were different issues to be resolved in prospect of the
community but seeing the broader view and trying to touch the basis of origin of every
problem we choose education sector of the community to be developed at first as if the
growing generation is given the tools to solve their issues then issues would be solved with
the help of community themselves as their involvement is the key to the solution of their
problems. We under the guidance of our project director started with finding the core
problems of the community only school. After a detailed survey and multiple interactions
with the students as well as with the faculty of the school, we came up with the clear view of
the problems being faced by them hence getting them written, we started finding solutions to
the and solutions we got were repairing of class windows and doors, sports material for the
school kids, and awareness sessions and interaction with them so that they could be aware
about the future waiting for them. Getting these all converted into execution of the solutions
we had made allots of effort and hard work to get the desired result. As expected we were
successful in achieving our set goals. We also do have some recommendations for further
improvement of the community as the roads in the community are the first problem of the
community and clean water availability is another huge problem in the community. Rising
problem is the spread of diseases which is due to unavailability of garbage dumping facilities
and community as well as authorities both are not showing concern to it which is turning this
problem in slow poison for the future generations so these are the things to be looked as soon
as possible in prospect of the community development.

INTRODUCTION
This report is about the community development project. In which we provide the basic
things to the Government Girls Middle School in Marl Mari village Lahore, Pakistan to
improve their quality of education because education is the most important part of our lives.
All over the world education is consider to be the foundation for growth and development of
the country and people. The literacy rate all over the world is 83.7% in 2012. The literacy rate
of India is 74.04% and China is 92.2%. These are those two countries which get the
sovereignty with Pakistan but their literacy rate is higher than the Pakistan. The literacy rate
of Pakistan is 55%. Still in Pakistan the literacy rate is not higher but it’s better than the
previous years because now the people are aware from the importance of education. The
literacy rate of Punjab is 68% and Lahore is 86% but in Marl Mari village Lahore the
education level is very low, infrastructure is very poor. No availability of latest technologies
like computer labs and laboratories. Children are just only getting the school level education
because there is no availability of college and university in this area.

This report is being written to describe the overall working on the education of the
Government Girls Middle School in Marl Mari village. Through this report we will aware the
people internationally that we are working on the education of Pakistan to improve its literacy
level and make it a developed country and aware the people nationally that education is very
important for the people of Pakistan because it raises the productivity and efficiency of
individuals and thus produces skilled manpower that is capable of leading the economy
towards the path of sustainable economic development. This report also emphasis that we
should also work on the education of the neglected areas of Pakistan because education is the
significant factor that plays a leading role in human development. It promotes a productive
and informed community and creates opportunities for the socially and economically
neglected sections of society. Through this report we can also aware the NGO’s to work for
this area of Lahore.

The project was conducted by the students of “Superior University” Commerce Department
under the supervision of the “Leadership & Community Development” subject advisor “Sir
Usman Sadiq.” A group consisted of 7 students of “7th A” B.Com (Hons).

For working on the “Leadership & Community Development Project” we selected the Marl
Mari village Lahore, Pakistan situated near the Wahga Border. Our group firstly visited the
Marl Mari village to meet with their people, to discuss about their problems and get their

LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | INTRODUCTION 5


2013
views related to our community development project. We received both the negative and
positive responses from people. After that we conducted our second visit in the village with
our instrument which was questionnaire to get their views about the specific problems of
village. During interview we also got some requests regarding the provision of some
accessories for village like chairs for mosque (but that was not the part of the results). Then
we compile the results of all the questionnaires in excel to the get the weight age of their
problems. The results shows that different types of problems contains the different weight age
but our focus was on those problems got highest percentage because those were the major
problems of Marl Mari village. We started to work on those major problems, getting
information about it but after a lot of effort we did not select those problems due to some
contingencies related to both the village infrastructure and execution.

Finally, the problem we selected for the project is to improve the education of village by
providing the primary resources to the Government Girls Middle School. In which we
improve the infrastructure of the school and also provide such things which help the students
in their education, improve their mental ability and make them physically strong. For
executed this project we raise the funds through our personal resources.

At last, we achieved our goal of improving the education of one of the neglected area of
Pakistan by executed our project on 6 Feb, 2013 in Marl Mari village. We provide them such
things which improve the infrastructure of school and also improve the mental abilities of
students. The people of Marl Mari village and specially the teachers of Government Girls
Middle School were very happy. They were very obliged and thankful to us for such a kind of
working. They expressed their feelings by saying that: “They are very happy that we select
their school for our community development project.

1. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL

Further description is given in the phase wise sequence as given below:

a. NEED ASSESSMENT

The first and the most important part of our whole work was need assessment in the target
community. It is multi dimensional word having multiple meanings and approaches. A needs
assessment is a systematic process for determining and addressing needs, or "gaps" between
current conditions and desired conditions or "wants". The discrepancy between the current
condition and wanted condition must be measured to appropriately identify the need. The
need can be a desire to improve current performance or to correct a deficiency.

A needs assessment is a part of planning processes, often used for improvement in


individuals, education/training, organizations, or communities. It can refine and improve a
product such as training or service a client receives. It can be an effective tool to clarify
problems and identify appropriate interventions or solutions. By clearly identifying the
problem, finite resources can be directed towards developing and implementing a feasible
and applicable solution. Gathering appropriate and sufficient data informs the process of
developing an effective product that will address the group’s needs and wants. Needs
assessments are only effective when they are ends-focused and provide concrete evidence
that can be used to determine which of the possible means-to-the-ends are most effective and
efficient for achieving the desired results.

A needs chain model is composed of aligned horizontal and vertical processes in which there
are four different kinds of needs that describe and identify the ultimate performance goal,
solutions, and what might affect these solutions. These needs include

a. Performance need: A state of existence or level of performance required for


satisfactory functioning.

b. Instrumental need: An intervention, product, or substance that is required to obtain a


satisfactory level of functioning in a particular context.

c. Conscious need: Need that are known to those who have them.

d. Unconscious need: Need that is unknown to those who have them.

LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | COMMUNITY 7


DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
2013
Also, it has four vertical factors that consider

1. Organizational need: Needs that usually pertain to behavior or tangible outcomes,


such as market share or sales target.

2. Individual needs: Needs that usually pertain to the individual’s attitudes about the
organization or himself, such as job satisfaction.

3. Causes.

4. Level of objectivity for all needs: The objectivity level requires all needs to have a
certain level of objectivity and to be based on deep investigation or further analysis.

b. DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA

Within the boundaries of Lahore, there exists a highly neglected area named as “Marl-Mari”.
The Village is situated 30-km from Lahore Cantt towards Wagha Border. Total Population in
the Village is about 10,000 and approximately 600 houses in the Village. The Literacy rate in
the village is extremely low and most of the Villagers are only intermediate while rests of the
person are middle passed. The basic necessities of Life like Electricity, water and gas are not
in a perfect condition. The road that connects the village with the city is almost
unconstructed and villagers have to face lots of problem. There is total 2 Mosques in the
Village which are in a Good Conditions. Education facility is not according to the standards.
There are only two government schools, For Girls up to 8th Class and for Boys up to 5th.
There is no school in the village up to matriculation. Private schools are present but have
poor Infrastructure. There is no medical facility provided neither from government nor from
private sector. There is no source of sanitation and water collection from government. Most
of the houses have water bore holes itself. But due to non-availability of electricity, bore
pumps does not work. Water from ground level is 200-ft for washable and other purpose
where as 300-ft for drinking purpose. There is no filtered water facility in the village and
villagers have to drink the unhealthy water.

c. SURVEY OF TARGET COMMUNITY

Our targeted place is Marl-Mari village which is situated near Wagha border. This village is
neglected by government, this village perform important role in Pak-Indo war in 1965. We
face lots of problems in the process of reaching there; the village is far from main ring road

about 6-km. Roads were a little rough than usual. Government activity is quite inactive there.
The problems that we faced were that of water, sewerage, no-existent waste management,
street light issue. Most of the people lack employment and medical advice isn’t available as
well. Our survey was conducted on 18th of Dec, We conduct interview with questioner and
pictures. Mostly our respondents are shopkeeper and old people. They briefly explain the
problems of village. Village respondents are very familiar with us.

 Sample size is 31 respondents


 Tool used for obtaining data was Questioner and Interviews.

d. SURVEY RESULTS

These three problems have the highest weight age so they are the core problems.

 Place for Dumping garbage


 Facility for providing Safe & healthy drinking water
 Poor Infrastructure of Community Schools

e. EXPLANATION OF CORE PROBLEMS

 Proper place for dumping garbage

After the analysis of survey results we found that people of Mal Mari give highest weight age
to the problem that there is no proper place for dumping the garbage which creates an
unhealthy environment and causes many diseases. The weight age of this problem is 134.

 Safe & healthy drinking water

The second core problem with second highest weight age is that the village does not have the
safe and healthy drinking water. This unhealthy water is causing many diseases. The weight
age for this problem is 133.

f. ACTION PLAN

During our project for the purpose we had initial visit to our target community, two members
of our group went there and had brief discussions and initial interviews with the people of the
community trying to let them identify their need prospects with whom they are not
entertained and what are their priorities in this prospect. We had excellent discussions with
the old people of the community and the youth of the community was also very supportive as

well. Different problems were identified in our visit and we also assessed their different basic
needs yet to be provided. After spending a full day with and in the community we came back
home. After this effort we were more energized and committed to the best results for this
project. Need step was of making a questionnaire and finalizing that which needs to be
fulfilled first or which problems deserves maximum priority to be solved immediately. The
problems which were identified were garbage dumping, clean water yet to be provided, high
spread diseases and medical facilities. Taking these we created a questionnaire and had
another visit to the community and made them filled by the target community, it is to be
identified here that we had a tremendous support of the community and were warmly
welcomed by the community. Getting the objective of the day, we came back and started
analyzing and evaluating the results from the questionnaire. After evaluating and marking the
results we had a brief discussion on deciding that which are the things to be done in
accordance with our budget that we created from our different project sponsors. After a long
discussion water filtration was gained maximum votes from our all members as well from our
project stakeholders. In addition to this we decided in betterment of mosque in the
community and anti disease sprays in the community to be done on immediately basis. Let
our project director of these efforts in form a report and a presentation, we are asked by him
to revisit the community and target a specific part or the problem of the community hence we
again visited the community and started from the beginning, during this we were given a
chance to visit the only government school in the community. We were stunned to see the
condition of the school as it class rooms having no seats and broken doors, windows without
the glass in them and strong breeze of winter freezing the children, no sports material
availability, no teaching kit for the teachers, no water for drinking as well as cleaning
purposes.

community development project. Through this promotional activity they are also aware from
this remote area of Lahore and can work in future for their development.

Ngo’s Of Lahore
Through our advertising tools we promote our project within the NGO’s of Lahore. The
promotion among NGO’s is beneficial from two ways. Firstly they are aware from this
remote area of Lahore and secondly they can help us in this development project.

Other Universities
By personal visits and use of advertising tools in other universities of Lahore we will promote
our community development project. Through this activity they will not only know about the
superior university but also about this project which is for the well being of the community.

Globally
Globally we promote our project through our welfare foundation website so the people of
other cities of Pakistan and people of other countries aware from our community
development project. We also use the source of Face book and twitter to promote our project
within our friends and family.

Tools of Advertising
Here we segmentized our target market in internal audience and external audience. And we
will use different tools of advertising for both of them. We just incorporate our business
operations and we started with a small amount of capital by keep in mind that we carefully
utilized the funds on all the foundation’s activities. We are advertising our foundation on
medium level not on large level because we have limited funds.

g. TOOLS OF ADVERTING FOR INTERNAL MARKET


In our internal market there are the community and the location where we are located. We are
as students, going to start a foundation that’s why our University “Superior University” is
also internal market. For internal advertising we will use these tools:

 Banners
 flex

LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | 20


2013
 SMS

Banners
The banners will write in Urdu language because the residents of the community are not
familiar to English language. Banners will be in standard size 2 meters length and
approximately Rs. 120 per banner. We will design 3 banners and their total cost will be Rs.
360. Name and logo of the foundation, slogan will be written on banners. A short
introduction of foundation and the school name where we execute our project will also write
down on the banners in Urdu. And a contact number of foundation also mention on banners.

Flex
Flex is used for advertising in internal market. Flex will be of size of 2*15 and will be placed
in Village for giving information to community peoples that our foundation is working for the
betterment of their society.

SMS
We will also use SMS packet for the adverting. SMS will deliver from foundation’s own cell
number which is 0323-8830085 and weekly message package will use for this purpose. The
SMS will in English language.

Caps And T-Shirts


Caps and T-shirts will also design for the purpose of identification of our foundation team
because at the time of execution of project team will wear them. Caps and T-shirts will in the
official color of foundation, name and logo will print on them. Initially we will print only 4
caps for girls and T-shirts for boys. Per cap cost is Rs. 80 and per t-shirt cost is Rs. 400.

h. TOOLS OF ADVERTISING FOR EXTERNAL MARKET


If I am talk about external market so there are other NGOs, Government and other
Universities under this head. Globally recognition and identification is very important for a
foundation because by these funds and donations will increase. For external market we will
use these tools of advertising:

 Facebook page of foundation


 SMS

LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT | 21


2013

Face book page


We will use social media for the purpose of advertising in external market. Most of the
computer users are also use these social websites and facebook is one of them and highly
visited site. The reason of using facebook page as an advertising tool is that huge traffic on
this site. On the page name logo, slogan and daily activities, operations will upload.

SMS
We will use the same SMS message which we used for internal market and send it to our
NGOs and some organizations. Foundation’s same number and message package will use
here.

and miscellaneous expenses. Total budget calculated is Rs. 22,570/-. For meeting all the
given expenses, our group decided to visit different companies for sponsorship and each
member individually collected donations from different resources. Our major sponsor was
Ali-Zaib Glass factory, they have given us the 75% of relaxation is purchasing the window
mirrors.

5. EXECUTION OF THE PLAN

We wish every day was like that day when we executed our project because that was the day
when we did something for the humanity which give us spiritual satisfaction and dignifies us
in our own eyes.

6th February, 2013 was the bright sunny day we all were very happy because of this noble
cause. At 9:00 am we were on our way. Before reaching to the target community we
purchased all the material required for the execution of our project. It includes water tank,
mirror for the windows, sports material and curtains (chikhain) for the doors. Our whole
group with this material reached to the target community (Government Girls Middle School
Marl Mari village) at 11:30 am. There, we had a warm welcome from the principal and the
teachers of the school. They arranged a small tea party for our group members.

After that refreshment we started to execute our project. Firstly, the carpenter fitted the entire
mirror in the windows, and the peon of the school fitted the curtains (chikhain) on the door.
Then the plumber fitted the water tank and makes all the necessary connections for water
supply. All the working related to mirrors, curtains and water tank fitting was in our
supervision. Then we handover the sports material to the teacher but we also did a small

activity with the children of the school. In which we played Badminton and carom board with
them.

The principal, faculty and the children of the school were very happy. They were thankful to
us that we selected their school for our project. Our goal to serve the humanity was achieved
and with this spiritual satisfaction and happiness that the project was done in a best way we
left the school at 4:30 pm. Highlighted part of the day was that we were not tired at all in fact
we all were very relaxed and happy on choosing the right target community and for our
working because it will provide the long term benefit to community. .

6. CONTINGENCIES/CHANGES MADE IN THE PLAN

As identified in the above discussion that initially were thinking to target the whole
community but later on the guidance of our project director we decided to target a specific
part of the community so we decided to choose the education sector to be improved in the
community as it was facing the problems that needed immediate attention. This was the only
change that was made in the plan.

7. ISSUES OBSERVED WHILE PLANNING AND EXECUTING

The issue we faced at most was getting our project sponsored. Initially it proved to be a
problem but we decided that if we are not a getting a full time sponsor for the project then we
should try to get different sponsors for different needs in the projects like we got sponsored
by “Worth Books And Sports Point” for our sports material and for the glass of the windows
we were sponsored by “Ali Zaib Glass Factory” while donations were appreciated by
different people also.

8. RESPONSE OBSERVED BY THE STAKEHOLDER

Response from the target community was very good indeed. Initially it was at its peak when
we were targeting the whole community but later on it decreased a bit when people came to
know that we would be targeting education sector only but with the awareness of the value of
it by marketing of the project in the community, community and our stakeholders’
appreciation level again raised up.

9. ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS OF TARGET COMMUNITY

Right from the start till the end target group has been tremendously supportive and
appreciating. In our last visit as on execution day, community was there for us boost our
morals up while we were executing our project with maximum of our energy and effort

10. PERCEPTIONS/EXPECTATIONS

We wanted to target the whole community but due to lack of resources and financial support
from the community as well we were forced by conditions to target a group rather then whole
community. This is where our expectations fell short of our goals else we are convinced on
the satisfaction level we gained from the solution of the problems of our targeted group or
sector in the community.

11. SUCCESS RATE OF THE PROJECT

The project has been a great success for us as when the execution was done our target
audience was completely satisfied with our efforts and appreciated us with best of their
regards and honor for our whole team.

12. CONCLUSION

After making this project we learn many thing from it because now a days each and
every institution need skills about every things so this assignment gave us a sense about
making well assignment by using all the skills e.g. Marketing, leadership, community
development, Management and Financial Management really gave us an extraordinary
knowledge about basic techniques of how to make a plan and a good strategy give us to make
