No IT university for women?
Lahore: In the Annual Development Programme for 2008-09, the
Punjab government has allocated funds of Rs 26.6 million to complete the
establishment of the Chief Minister Secretariat at 8-Club Road, GOR-I despite
the fact that Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif had announced to convert the
building to an IT university for women. The previous government had constructed
the CM Secretariat, a four-storeyed building on the 10-kanal plot: 8-Club Road,
in 2006 to gather all scattered offices of the chief minister's officers under
one roof. Earlier the chief minister's staff was working in three different
offices on 1,3 and 7-Club Road. The building's construction cost about Rs 411.57
million. In the building 46 offices were made for a principal secretary, two
special secretaries, four additional secretaries, 13 deputy secretaries, two
personal staff officers, 12 section officers and several other ministerial
staff. Two committee rooms, one kitchen and the chief minister's office were
also constructed. After Shahbaz's announcement to convert the building into an
IT university for women, the IT department surveyed the building to estimate the
cost of the conversion and the equipments to be purchased. Daily Times
