Roshni Scholarship scheme : - Student Loan Scheme

This post is for Alumni, current students and staff of QAU

You might know that Roshni Trust was established in 2014 to assist the deserving students of QAU under two projects:

a. Roshni Scholarship scheme / now it is *Student Loan Scheme.

b. MoFiD food project

Free meal project for deserving students.

We process application in a very respectful way and finalize the name. Till now, financial assistance of more than Rs. 5 million have been provided to needy QAU students under Scholarship Scheme whereas 2.5 million assistant has been provided under MoFiD. Currently 35 to 45 students are availing food under MoFiD from Majeed Huts

For coming semester we received more than 50 applications for students loan scheme but 95 percent request are saying that they will return after degree. Hence to help them partially we need at least 1.5 million. We have received half million but need your support in raising the rest.

Under the flooded circumstances, we are expecting more requests in this semester.

In this regard we request to just donate us 100 to 500 in this month to help us to help the needy students of QAU.

Please ignore if you have done already but kindly pass to other in your contacts.

I am sending this text to more than 2000 alumni, and you are one of them. We expect small amount from each.

Jazakum Allah

Pakistan Is Getting Ahead Of India, Again

After getting ahead of India in equity market performance, Pakistan is getting ahead of India in another indicator: economic freedom ranking.

That’s according to the recent 2017 Index of Economic Freedom ranking, which places Pakistan in 141st position and India at 143th.

Published by the Heritage Foundation, the Economic Freedom report measures such things as trade freedom, business freedom, investment freedom, and the degree of property rights protection in 186 countries.
Pakistan’s lead over India in this ranking may not be big deal to most observers, as it is too narrow to be meaningful. Besides, both countries are ranking too close to the bottom.
Still, Pakistan’s ranking has been consistently outperforming India's in recent years.

Does it really matter to anyone?
Yes, to equity market investors. Gains in economic freedom ranking are usually associated with higher economic growth rates and higher equity markets. And the superior performance of Pakistan’s market over that of India’s might as well be a reflection of it.
 

Index/Fund	12-month Performance
IShares China (FXI)	13.00%
Global X Pakistan (PAK)	40.78
iShares S&P India 50 (INDY )	8.49%

In fact, a closer look at the ranking components of the two countries reveals that Pakistan has far better than India in the areas of business development and government spending, which matter a great deal for financial market

Country	Overall Ranking	Score	Property Rights	Business Freedom	Labor Freedom	Government Spending
Pakistan	141	52.8	36.40	61.20	37.80	87.30
India	143	52.6	55.40	52.80	41.60	77.40

Here is a quote from the Pakistan report. “Pakistan has pursued reforms to improve its entrepreneurial environment and facilitate private-sector development. The financial sector has undergone modernization and restructuring.”
And a quote from the Indian report. “The state maintains an extensive presence in many areas through public sector enterprises. A restrictive and burdensome regulatory environment discourages the entrepreneurship that could provide broader private-sector growth.”
Simply put, while Pakistan is trying to place economic growth in the hands of entrepreneurs, India insists to place economic growth in the hands of government bureaucrats.

That’s certainly good news for the future of Pakistan.
