یوم ِ تکبیر
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
صاحب صدر معزز اسا تذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پر اظہار خیال کرنا ہے وہ ہے’’یوم تکبیر‘‘
تقدیر کے قاضی کا یہ فتویٰ ہے ازل سے
ہے جرمِ ضعیفی کی سزا مرگِ مفاجات
محترم صدر!
یوم تکبیرکسی دن کا نام نہیں ،کسی قصہ وکہانی کا نام نہیں، کسی ناول و افسانے کا نام نہیں، کسی محو پرواز طائر کا نام نہیں ، آسمان کی رفعتوں کو چھونے والے فلک بوس پہاڑوں کا نام نہیں ، سر سبز و شاداب کھیتوں اور کھلیانوں کا نام نہیں یہ 22 کروڑ آبادی کی جرأت و بہادری کا نام ہے۔
محترم صدر!
اس دنیاو مافیہا میں جو کچھ ہے وہ فنا ہونے والا ہے۔ سورج کی حرارت ختم ہو جائے گی۔ چاند کی چاندنی کا وجودنہ رہے گا۔ ستاروں کی چمک، پھولوں کی مہک،طائر انِ خوش الحان کی چہک، حشرات الارض میں زندگی کی دمک سب ختم ہوجائے گی۔
صاحبِ صدر!
جب داعی اجل کو لبیک کہنے کا ایک وقت مقرر ہے، تو خوف کس بات کا ہے۔ پھرخطرہ کس بات کا، پھر حزن و غم کس بات کا، پھر پریشانی اور انار کی کس بات کی ہے۔ جری اور بہادر لوگ موت کے خوف کو سر پر سوارنہیں کرتے۔ بلکہ اپنے مخالفین اور اعداء کی آنکھوں میں آنکھیں ڈال کر بات کرتے ہیں۔
جس دھج سے کوئی مقتل میں گیا وہ شان سلامت رہتی ہے
یہ جان تو آنی جانی ہے اس جاں کی تو کوئی بات نہیں
معزز سامعین!

The trade economy is dependent upon the institutional quality of the country. It affects the ease of doing business in the economy. It is plausible to think that, how institutional quality can affect the trading performance of Pakistan. Small & medium enterprises (SMEs) are playing the role of the backbone of the trade sector in Pakistan. Contribution SMEs can be significantly improved, by improving the supporting macroeconomic indicators. This paper studies the short-run and the long-run association between SME trade growth and cost of production, relative prices, and Institutional quality in Pakistan. It also examines the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis, between SME trade growth and institutional quality in Pakistan. This study utilizes secondary data, which is taken from multiple secondary sources, including the SMEDA, Pakistan Economic Survey, and world development indicators. The biannual data is assembled up for 38 observations from (2000 to 2019). This study uses Auto Regressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) bound testing method to examine the short run and long run connections between SMEs’ trade growth and macro-economic variables, like; relative prices, Cost of production. Gross Domestic Product, exchange rate, and institutional quality. These variables are selected from the available literature. The study finds that the short-run response of SMEs trade is not significant, but it significantly responds to macro-economic indicators in long run. The institutional quality has a non-linear relationship with SMEs trade growth. This indicates that the pollution heaven hypothesis holds valid even for the case of institutional quality and SMEs trading performance. The study focuses on the optimality of institutional quality for the optimal performance level of SMEs in Pakistan.
Public sector organizations operate in complex and compelling social, political and economic environment. Need and call for public organizations to become more citizen-focused and entrepreneurial are common. The demand to work in a more business-like and innovative manner, are burgeoning for public organizations. Planned efforts to change organization need to be implemented in public organizations like in private sector. The advancement of organization development (OD) literature on public sector will help public organizations to become efficient and high performing. The existing limited OD applications and interventions in public sector call for theestablishment of a new field of public organization development (POD). OD scholars and practitioners also believe that further research on OD initiatives relevant to thepublic sector is the urgent need to make them efficient, entrepreneurial and effective. Incidentally, in the public sector, entrepreneurship is regarded as either nonexistent or sketchy. Researchers provide evidence that entrepreneurship enhances organizational effectiveness. Public sector entrepreneurship introduces activities to kick off change by innovating, adapting, identifying and realizing that individual goals are not as much of importance as organization’s goals. An understanding of the culture is warranted to address the current challenges of transforming public sector to attain governpreneurship. It is well known that any neglect of diagnosis of culture results in dramatic failure of attempts to change the organizational culture. Therefore, considering the challenge of culture change and development of scanty knowledge in the field of POD, culture in the public organization was comprehensively diagnosed in the first step followed by planned interventions for changing the existing culture to attain governpreneurship, in the second step. Asequential explanatory mixed method research design was adopted to achieve the purpose of the study. A large size public organization responsible for metropolitan planning and development in one of the major cities of Pakistan was the research site.In quantitative phase, 160 managers having at least six months of work experience in the public organization were surveyedusing thelatest version of organizational culture assessment instrument(Cameron&Quinn, 2011). In qualitative phase, the survey resultsregarding culture diagnosis were corroboratedthrough field observation and in-depth in interviewswith 50 managers. Secondly, building on these ethnographic notes, systematic literature review of 20 articles published in top-tier academic journals; and focus groups discussion with 18 managers coded by NVivo 10, were conducted to propose planned interventions for attaining governpreneurship finally. From the survey data, it is analyzed that rule-based rigid hierarchy culture was the dominant existed culture and flexible, innovative and human development culture was the preferred culture. Data from field observations and in-depth interviews revealed that participants highlighted the human resource issues and raised the demands to address these issues preferably for achieving the spirit of public entrepreneurship. The systematic literature review and focus group discussions proposed human resource management (HRM) interventions in the first stage amongst four types of interventions to transform the rigid and control culture into flexible, entrepreneurial and family-like culture. The findings of the study propose HRM interventions to develop, retain, reinforce and support people in the public organizations for achieving organizational effectiveness. Further, governpreneurship results from introducing and implementing improvedhuman resource practices for assimilating employees into organization.
