Pakistan boosts space agency's budget from $24 million to $127 million

[SaadH]

Radio Pakistan Delhi hahahaha
Zaid Hamid also claims to be an Arab, even though his father was a Bihari Hindu who converted to Islam to marry his Kashmiri Muslim mother. I know his home in Jehanabad, and his relatives are still Hindu.

Chutiya post of the month...no evidence of any of the above BS whatsApp uni story circulating on sanghi networks...

And BTW Zaid Hamid is an idiot, but sanghis from the east are bigger idiots...

 

[Awwad]

They just don't get once you dump something like Hinduism and embrace islam, all the old crap doesn't mean anything anymore, your no longer connected to it, I think it's their caste mentality

What do you mean "old crap", do not disrespect anyone. Islam prohibits making fun of other religions, read Q-6 (al-anam), 108.

BTW! you mentioned "Old", There were many prophets who arrived tens of thousands of years ago. But the original message was similar of all Prophets in different eras. There were so many prophets (~124,000) but we only know few. Also I sometimes wonder, we never know what if there is a sacred deity or a personality of any other religion, what are the odds that personality could have been one of those 124,000 prophets but original message changed / evolved during the course of history. So in a way humanity is connected & intertwined.

Anyways, let's just respect all. I agree to your original point that if someone has changed their faith that decision should be accepted too.

WOW! One of the lamest excuses ever to put blame of your entire life's failures on a 3 year tenure. Would you bother telling everyone here, What SUPRACO achieved since 1980s till 2018 ? General Zia's tenure, then his production & lap boy Nawaz shareef rule, then PPP, then Nawaz and so on. So what exactly SUPARCO did in those 4 decades except corruption and do-noting and eating haram ??

I am saying it again that any private company with even only 30 employees could have achieved a 100 times more than what SUPRACO achieved with 1000s of employees and billions of budget. Total waste of national funds.

BTW! how pathetically & shamelessly you put your entire life's miseries on mere 3 years PTI tenure is mind boggling. Shows how immensely bias & a liar you are. That 3 years tenure was still the most progressive despite entire time they had to face off with COVID and later regime change conspiracies. Even that iCube (A mere university level project) was also planned and finalized during PTI tenure, later a tout PM Shehbaz (an embarrassment) calls that a national achievement LMAO! If this is the mentality & honesty of this tout govt on stolen mandate then be assure that they will do NOTHING for the nation.

First of all, SUPARCO was used as a front to acquire weapons grade nuclear technology from abroad.

Secondly, SUPARCO was used as a front to acquire dual use ballistic missile technology from abroad.

Pakistan's Credible Minimum Detetrence was fully accomplished in 2016 a year after Shaheen-3 ballistic missile was tested that could target Indian assets in India's Nicobar and Andaman Islands, denying India it's second strike capability.

"National Space Program 2040" was launched in 2011 but only Pakistan's first CubeSat could be launched.

The space program was renamed and relaunched in 2014 as "Space Vision 2047".

Agreements were signed with China for work on 2 satellites in 2016: PRSS-1 and PakTES-1 Alpha.

AsiaSat 4 was acquired and renamed as PakSat MM'I' in March 2018. In July 2018, the two satellites built with the help of China were launched. In 2018, China also agreed with Pakistan to send two Pakistani astronauts to space by 2020 but could not happen due to the incompetent PTI Government.

As for your regular bongiyan on corruption, if you're that certain it's achievable why don't you be brave and launch a company with just 30 employees and see if you can surpass SUPARCO (and on the side, purchase and provide dual use nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology from abroad to the military).

60% budget lost to corruption.. completely useless equipment and infrastructure will be fast tracked by wardi and bhardi for commission earnings.
The remaining 40% will get hit with inefficiencies relating to 60% of the employees being either unqualified or inept - so at the end there will be 20% left which the 15% truly competent people will work to make progress while those in charge will continue to churn out “fake it till you make it” presentations and PTV interviews.

So the actual useful budget has finally made it above $20 million

LMAO!!!!

So this cartoon is saying, that SUPARCO couldn't do anything in more than 5 decades (1970s to 2018) in which 5 times PMLN ruled the country just because of PTI 2018 - 2021. What an absolute level of BS you are able to post. That's crazy!

Secondly, whats with writing PML-N in the govt column that you created LMAO! PMLN ruled the country by licking boots for 5 times on the country. Still pathetically unable to do anything right, not even a SLV for low earth orbit satellites. Not a proper single / original space project till date. A complete failure of epic proportions and you are comparing it with COVID ridden just 3 year rule of PTI ??? Are you insane? You sure are.

So people, its not just Shehbaz which is an absolute embarrassment, There supporters are also an embarrassment and with a very thick skull. Look below:



How come there is any contribution of PML-N in Cube Sat ? The university project which Chinese university did and launched by China. If there is any contribution from any Pakistani govt, that is from PTI. You just came in power with fake votes, this wasn't your plan. So your own arguments & data going against you. That means PMLN ruled 5 times on the country. One of the time, they even completed full term and still has nothing to show and PTI only came in power for 3 years and still did 2 satellites, ofcourse after regime change someone else come to cheaply take the credit.. BTW! Its so pathetic to even call these achievements. There is absolutely nothing to brag about it whether its PMLN or PTI. I have no idea why you gave it a political angel. Why on earth you are posting the epic failures of PMLN from 1980s to 2018 on PTI's (2018-2021) Just 3 years tenure got Pakistan iCube too, but even that project has nothing to brag about. Its a mini satellite as a university project and even that failed SUPRACO couldn't do it on its own.

Your lame excuses are on the next level.

I wonder Why this guy is sooo much dishonest. He lie on your face and twist facts. First pathetically turned this topic for political point scoring in a bid to compare a 5 times ruling party with one time ruling party of 3 years LOL! Then he writes WRONG facts. He shamelessly put "PMLN" against the recent 2 satellites when everyone knows there is no way PMLN could have worked on them as they just came in power. But go on and writes "PMLN" against two satellites in July 2018 when he knows that PMLN govt had ended by May 2018. Why he is not using his own logic over there. If he only wants to write the govt of the time. Then he should write the next caretaker govt that was during that period. Using 2 different scales on one table. Time and again you have shown your utter bias and lies. Get over with it. I don't understand what you get in worshipping a corrupt family? You go out of the way, create your own stories & lies just to promote a filthy rich and corrupt dynasty ?? Are you related with them? or what ?

 

[Awwad]

It's paganism and idolatry, the word crap covers it all pretty well

Don't do it. read Q-6 (al-anam), 108. Understand the crux of it. Do not go against it!

IMO. If you say such words, you just invite the same from other side. We don't want it. Secondly, if you're a proud of your religion then set an example with your good ethics, character and politeness. You won't impress anyone towards your faith with rude talk.

Govt presents Rs 3.792 trillion national development plan for FY 2024-25

By Ghulam Abbas
June 12, 2024

ISLAMABAD: The federal government has proposed a national development plan worth Rs 3.792 trillion for the next fiscal year, as approved earlier by the National Economic Council (NEC). This is a significant increase from the Rs 2.393 trillion allocated for the federal and provincial Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) in the outgoing fiscal year.

According to budget documents, the government has allocated Rs 1.4 trillion for the federal development plan (PSDP), compared to the Rs 659 billion revised allocation for the outgoing financial year, marking a 112 percent increase. The initial allocation for the federal PSDP in the outgoing year was Rs 590 billion, which was later revised upward to Rs 659 billion.

The documents indicate that the federal development programme has actually increased to Rs 1.5 trillion, with an additional Rs 100 billion allocated for public-private partnership (PPP) projects. An additional Rs 196.83 billion is estimated to be invested by state-owned entities in development activities, bringing the total size of the federal development plan to Rs 1.696 trillion.

For the provincial development plan in 2024-25, the government has allocated Rs 2.095 trillion, up from the Rs 1.559 trillion revised PSDP for the outgoing fiscal year. This brings the total development outlay of federal and provincial governments to Rs 3.792 trillion.

In the federal PSDP 2024-25, Rs 356.22 billion have been allocated for different corporations, including the National Highway Authority (NHA) and NTDC/PEPCO, with Rs 180.28 billion and Rs 175.9 billion, respectively.

The PSDP for the next fiscal year includes an allocation of Rs 1.039 trillion for federal ministries and divisions, compared to Rs 459 billion in the outgoing year, reflecting over a 100 percent increase.

As per the documents, the following allocations have been made:

• Rs 7.3 billion for the Aviation Division
• Rs 1.65 billion for the Board of Investment
• Rs 75.7 billion for the Cabinet Division
• Rs 6.2 billion for the Climate Change Division
• Rs 2.2 billion for the Commerce Division
• Rs 728 million for the Communication Division (other than NHA)

Further allocations include:

• Rs 5.6 billion for the Defence Division
• Rs 3.7 billion for the Defence Production Division
• Rs 921 million for the Establishment Division
• Rs 25.7 billion for the Federal Education Division
• Rs 6 billion for the Finance Division
• Rs 66.315 billion for the Higher Education Commission

60% budget lost to corruption.. completely useless equipment and infrastructure will be fast tracked by wardi and bhardi for commission earnings.
The remaining 40% will get hit with inefficiencies relating to 60% of the employees being either unqualified or inept - so at the end there will be 20% left which the 15% truly competent people will work to make progress while those in charge will continue to churn out “fake it till you make it” presentations and PTV interviews.

So the actual useful budget has finally made it above $20 million

Wait...wait...so you don't want to see the National Atmospheric and Space Technology Institute (NASTI) Park? I'd like to see NASTI Park. @JamD

 

[EugeneP]

pakistan has a space programme ? which SLVs does it produce ?

I think it is mostly a prestige program to boast we are doing "Science" and "Technology". It is not money well spent considering other pressing needs to improve quality of human capital.

 

[Waz]

So let's see the output....
