HYDERABAD, Sept 12: The senate of Liaquat University of Medical and
Health Sciences (LUMHS) on Monday approved Rs589 million budgetary estimates for
2007-08 entailing a huge deficit of Rs174 million, which the university planned
to meet through savings from vacant posts, reserved funds and government
assistance.
The university's director of finance, Ahsan Ali Kehar, who
presented the estimates told the meeting that the expected income for 2007-08
came to Rs589 million and estimated expenditure stood at Rs763.84 million.Mr
Kehar said in answer to a question by a senate member that the deficit would be
met through savings from vacant posts, university's reserved funds and expected
financial assistance by the government.
He said that the university had
remained well within its budgetary limits despite filling 139 vacant posts
mostly in teaching cadre. The university had generated Rs558 million income as
against an expenditure of Rs519 million and saved Rs39 million. Major components
of expenditure comprised salaries, stipends and sundries, he added.
The
meeting unanimously approved the budgetary estimates for 2007-08 and annual
statement of accounts for 2006-07.
Vice-Chancellor Prof Noshad Ahmed
Shaikh, who presided over the meeting after the governor of Sindh failed to turn
up due to his preoccupations in Karachi, that his new administrative reforms had
not only resulted in saving money but also helped instil discipline among
students as well as staff.
He said that the university was saving Rs2
million a month through privatisation of transport system. The changes brought
about in the admission section would result in transparency and efficiency at
graduate and postgraduate level, he said.
He appreciated the efforts of
principals of CMC, PMC and GMMMC and thanked the Sindh government and the Higher
Education Commission for their continued support.
