<strong>Message</strong> <strong>from</strong> President Asif Ali ZardariPresident <strong>of</strong> the Islamic Republic <strong>of</strong> PakistanThe need for high quality educational institutions in the country has existed since long. Keeping in viewthe growing needs for higher education and limited resources at the disposal <strong>of</strong> the Government, theGovernment decided to promote private sector institutions in Sindh, and the establishment <strong>of</strong> <strong>Institute</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> & <strong>Technology</strong> (Biztek) is a welcome step in this direction.It’s heartening to see the private sector in Pakistan is sharing responsibility with the public sector for settingup good educational facilities in the country. Education is the key to the development and growth <strong>of</strong> acountry.I’m glad to know that good teaching facilities in important disciplines like management, computer science& engineering are coming up with the initiative <strong>of</strong> the private sector. I therefore expect that the <strong>Institute</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> and <strong>Technology</strong> would develop into a premier institution <strong>of</strong> the country. I expect the facultyand students <strong>of</strong> this institution to do their utmost to promote and propagate national objectives andinculcate the spirit <strong>of</strong> patriotism.May Allah be with you in your endeavors.

Not with standing a society's stage <strong>of</strong> social development, an academic institutionshould be striving for the attainment <strong>of</strong> scales <strong>of</strong> perfection which developed societies have set forthemselves.I fervently believe in working for meeting the challenges <strong>of</strong> the 21st century in order to achieve the aimsand objectives <strong>of</strong> cut-and-dried parameters <strong>of</strong> excellence in the process <strong>of</strong> globalisation.The students joining us will be expected to promote the culture <strong>of</strong> forebearence and excellence which isthe cornerstone <strong>of</strong> the mission. The <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> & <strong>Technology</strong> has been pursuing for over a decadeas one <strong>of</strong> the highest ranking institution which the management has earmarked for them.In view <strong>of</strong> the needs and demands <strong>of</strong> the growing media in Pakistan, we have introduced media sciencesin Biztek and Social Sciences as a composite program.

We haveorganized a number <strong>of</strong> seminars on the current socio-economic situations, pre and post - budget analysisand close liasion with trade and industry.We, at Biztek, are endeaving to assure parents and, through them, the society all <strong>of</strong> us are a part <strong>of</strong>. For usa harmonious development <strong>of</strong> intellectual, moral and mental strengths <strong>of</strong> our students is the sine qua non<strong>of</strong> quality education.In short, this is what we expect our students to achieve with the effective guidance <strong>of</strong> a caring and competentfaculty.Dr. Muhammad Ali Siddiqui (S.I.)<strong>Rector</strong>.07
