Introduction<br />
On assuming the office of the <strong>Jamaat</strong>, the new<br />
Management observed the need to update and<br />
streamline the existing administrative system<br />
of KPSIAJ. An informal need analaysis was<br />
carried out to identify and assess the immediate<br />
needs of the institution. The purpose of the<br />
exercise was to bring the system up to date in<br />
order to improve its quality and performance.<br />
The data collected through the exercise will<br />
also prove helpful in identifying those areas<br />
which will need improvement and better<br />
management in future.<br />
This issue aims to share/highlight some of the<br />
initiatives taken by the present Management<br />
to bring about a qualitative change, that will<br />
ensure smooth and efficient functioning of the<br />
<strong>Jamaat</strong>.<br />
Upgradation of Software<br />
A prompt and error free financial reporting is a<br />
pre requisite to evaluate the financial strength<br />
and status of an institution. A new Software<br />
was purchased and installed for which funds<br />
were donated by the members of the Managing<br />
Committee. Young and enthusiastic Managing<br />
Committee members having expertise in IT are<br />
working to introduce a paper free environment<br />
in the KPSIAJ set up in due course of time.<br />
To protect important data from any undesirable<br />
eventuality, hardware has also been upgraded<br />
to fortify all the important details relating to<br />
accounts and membership. A complete backup<br />
utility is also installed to ensure that the data<br />
remains secure at all times.<br />
Launch of KPSIAJ website<br />
The ground work for the launch of the website is<br />
in its last phase. Soon, it will be made available<br />
to keep members informed of the Jammat’s<br />
activities. It will help to develop a participative<br />
relationship between the members and the<br />
management enabling both to play their role<br />
for the progress of the community.<br />
Issue-1 Apr -2010<br />
Only for Members<br />
Synopsis of the New Management’s<br />
Performance and Activities. (April 2009- March 2010)<br />
Census 2009<br />
The importance of a comprehensive database<br />
of the community for formulating long term<br />
plans, has been given a key place in the<br />
manifesto of the Elected Body. Upon assuming<br />
office, the management decided to initiate<br />
the project on a priority basis. By the grace of<br />
Allah and the committee’s untiring efforts, the<br />
project was launched on 15th September 2009,<br />
on the day of Death Anniversary of Shaheed<br />
Hameed Ali Bhojani as a tribute to the late<br />
visionary leader.<br />
Our team of dedicated volunteers are engaged<br />
in the process of distribution and collection of<br />
the Census forms by making door to door visits.<br />
The process is encountering many challenges<br />
and the team is hopeful of overcoming these
2<br />
in phases.We would like to request<br />
all community members to cooperate<br />
with our team-members engaged in the<br />
collection and compilation of data. The<br />
collection and compilation of the data<br />
through a newly procured comprehensive<br />
software will ensure availability and<br />
analysis of community statistics and pave<br />
the way for the formulation and designing<br />
of policies and plans, both short term and<br />
long term. A complete system of levels of<br />
accessability has been incorporated in<br />
the software so as to ensure that the data<br />
collected remains confidential.<br />
Indeed, the task cannot be accomplished<br />
without the cooperation of the community<br />
members. Apart from multiple advantages,<br />
the <strong>Jamaat</strong> intends to issue digitalized ID<br />
and Health Cards to each member of the<br />
family, in order to provide access to the<br />
Health and other facilities provided by the<br />
KPSIAJ.<br />
Library and Reading Room<br />
The importance of a well stocked library in<br />
promoting education, general awareness<br />
and developing reading habit cannot be<br />
denied. Having remained unused for<br />
some time, the <strong>Jamaat</strong> Library has now<br />
been refurbished and air-conditioned to<br />
facilitate users, particularly our students,<br />
to pursue their quest for knowledge in a<br />
pleasant environment. About 5000 titles<br />
are available with regular additions every<br />
month The library is now equipped with<br />
2 computers to facilitate library users,<br />
and would be especially helpful to the<br />
students.<br />
Library facility is available to members<br />
upon a nominal membership fee.<br />
Sports Activities<br />
Mental and physical fitness are<br />
interdependent. To promote healthy<br />
activities among the youth, the Sports sub<br />
committee is entrusted to undertake steps<br />
for engaging our youngsters in sports.<br />
<strong>Jamaat</strong> also acquires the services of<br />
professional coaches on payment.<br />
Coaching classes are conducted from time<br />
to time for karate, table tennis, cricket<br />
and football. Indoor games are organized<br />
at the FEN premises while matches for<br />
cricket and football are organized at<br />
various grounds in the city. The interest<br />
and participation of the youth in sporting<br />
events is growing rapidly.<br />
A professional table tennis coach provided<br />
training to our boys aged 8 to 16 years<br />
during the Summer Camp. Badminton<br />
courts have been developed in the open<br />
courtyards of the College buildings to<br />
facilitate our students. Fatimiyah College<br />
(Boys and Girls Campus) has been<br />
equipped with Gym equipments for<br />
students.<br />
Human Resource Committee<br />
Due to the slow down of the economy, the<br />
role of HRC has become increasingly vital<br />
in helping job seekers. HRC of <strong>Jamaat</strong> has<br />
geared itself up to meet the challenges of<br />
the task assigned to it.<br />
In order to streamline the system, IT based<br />
software has been installed to record and<br />
process the applications. A seminar on<br />
career guidance and development was<br />
conducted to aprise applicants of the<br />
professional skills and other necessary<br />
tools required for effective Presentation.<br />
The placements made by this committee<br />
upto December 2010 has been most<br />
encouraging. So far, 150 applications have<br />
been received out of which by the grace<br />
of Almighty Allah, and proactive efforts<br />
by the committee members, 64 applicants<br />
have been successfully placed in various<br />
positions and many are in the process of<br />
test and interviews.<br />
All avenues are being explored to reach<br />
the prospective employers. Response<br />
from Community, business houses and<br />
banks has been very positive. The support<br />
being provided by the senior members<br />
of the Managing Committee is highly<br />
commendable. HRC is confident, that with<br />
the continued support of the Community,<br />
there will be a sizeable enhancement in<br />
the number of placements.<br />
HRC Seminar<br />

Career” (How to get the job you really<br />

Expansion of<br />
Fatmiyah Hospital<br />
A remarkable improvement has been<br />
witnessed in the performance of Fatimiyah<br />
Hospital during the recent months. The<br />
Management of the hospital has won the<br />
confidence of patients and their families<br />
through improvement in the services and<br />
facilities.<br />
It is note worthy that the capacity of<br />
the hospital has been increased from 43<br />
beds to 65 beds, by merely adjusting the<br />
available space for optimum utilization.<br />
The General Wards have been airconditioned<br />
to provide all patients<br />
(without discrimination) the best possible<br />
treatment at affordable costs. Number of<br />

attention since the start of the tenure. The<br />
committee took up the task zealously and<br />
through its efforts enhanced the number<br />
of donors from 850 to 1000. Efforts are<br />
continuing to raise it to 1500 in the<br />
coming months, to meet the growing cost<br />
of educational expenses. New Software<br />

conventional system of maintaining the<br />
records manually.<br />
We thank all the community members<br />

Pursuit of Academic<br />
Excellence at FEN<br />
At FEN, plans to achieve holistic objectives<br />
of education are constantly reviewed<br />
to ensure that the system operates at a<br />
high performance level to deliver worthy<br />
education.<br />
1. Value Orientation Program<br />
The first step of course, is to ‘Enlighten<br />
the Teachers to Enlighten the Child’. A<br />
Teachers’ Value Orientation Session was<br />
launched in the month of July 2009, in<br />
which 20 classes were conducted for the<br />
entire faculty of FEN, with subsequent<br />
periodic sessions planned throughout the<br />
year.<br />
2. Curriculum Screening & Enrichment<br />
A Curriculum Screening Program has<br />
been initiated to screen, and enrich, all text<br />
materials for all classes. The underlying<br />
purpose is to identify ‘implicit messages’<br />
if any (between the lines), transmitted by<br />
certain publishers or text materials, which<br />
tend to distort the child’s value system,<br />
and his understanding of our core beliefs.<br />
Under this program, subject concepts are<br />
re enforced with value and direction, or<br />
dilutions, as applicable, by a competent<br />
Ideological Resource (IR).<br />

Hussaini Bagh No 1. Graveyard<br />
As the community is aware that Hussaini<br />
Bagh no.1 (graveyard) has been under illegal<br />
occupation by the family members of one of<br />
the <strong>Jamaat</strong>’s old employee (deceased) since<br />
last 3 years. The previous management’s<br />
untiring efforts to end this illegal occupation<br />
5
6<br />
could not succeed till the take over by the<br />
new management in April 2009. The new<br />
management considered this issue as a top<br />
priority and we are pleased to inform that<br />
a settlement has been reached between the<br />
illegal occupants and the <strong>Jamaat</strong> management<br />
whereby the illegal occupants shall vacate<br />
the graveyard shortly.<br />
In the meantime <strong>Jamaat</strong> can use the Hall of<br />
the Imambargah and start the repair work.<br />
A Majlis was held on 28th Safar at the above<br />
mentioned hall and repair work has already<br />
begun at the site.<br />
