Punjab got automated as per Omar Saif in the last govt:

We all know that the previous Punjab govt. had always supported and advocated the ICT industry. There have been many projects based on information technology launched by PITB. Many processes that facilitate people, in general, are still under process. The ones that have been orchestrated to help not just the people but the govt. of Punjab are being launched regularly.

Mr. Omar Saif, who is the head of PITB (Punjab Information Technology Board) and an inspiration for IT professional recently, tweeted about the use of a smartphone, based monitoring system used by the drug inspectors. This system helps the drug inspector to report his visits to pharmacy outlets and drug manufacturers. This is a great way of knowing and making sure that the drug inspector does his visits regularly. This time stamp can be used for further investigations if needed as well.

This is not the only IT based venture done by the PITB. The other ventures that they boast to be done for the first time in Punjab and Pakistan are:

  • ·         Hajj Management information system
  • ·         Smart monitoring of schools
  • ·         E-stamping, it enables you to get stamp paper online for various purposes and payments. Just fill the form, print and take it to the bank of Punjab and after paying the amount, get the stamp paper
  • ·         Punjab public management reform program, which covers the seven important departments of the govt. of Punjab

Other process automation solutions are:

  • ·         MIS for maintenance of Agricultural machinery
  • ·         Model police stations
  • ·         Motor Transport Management Information systems (phase 1, MVR - MTMIS phase2)
  • ·         IT initiatives at Lahore high courts and district courts
  • ·         Spatial data infrastructure
  • ·         Uniform inventory system Sahiwal Police

Further support for the service of the govt. is also given by evidence-based monitoring systems, which are as follows:

  • ·         Dengue Activity tracking system
  • ·         Disease surveillance system
  • ·         Drug inspection and monitoring evaluation system
  • ·         Flood monitoring system
  • ·         Health watch
  • ·         VET inspect
  • ·         Hospital watch
  • ·         Monitoring and evaluation assistance for secondary health
  • ·         Monitoring and evaluation system for NAB
  • ·         Restaurant invoice monitoring system (RIMS)
  • ·         Maintenance and cleanliness system
  • ·         Literacy and Numeracy Drive for school education

Because of the previous government, Govt. of Punjab also has an official twitter account where you can complain about hospitals and schools. And it is stated from personal experience that they not only respond but message you when your issue has been resolved. PITB also provide cloud computing services for new entrepreneurs along with proper guidance and capacity building. Their programs Plan9 and PlanX are already helping entrepreneurs to set up new businesses.


These systems are available in their respective departments and are integrated into the command center as well. Their complete detail is available on the PITB official website. The fact that our government is taking facilitation of people, a collaboration of different departments and a centralized management approach for transparent and efficient services, should be appreciated. As a person involved with the IT industry, I feel happy and proud that such a system is being made which will eventually make things better and feasible for everyone. Also, this puts us on the same level as other developed countries. A team of Japanese delegates is also here to evaluate Pakistan for future investment in this sector, based on the work done by the PITB so far. So from my side, I would say good job PITB and Punjab Govt.
