Scholarship / 'I developed a slight tendency towards project management.' Mundus Scholarship letter [9]
Motivation letters for Erasmus Mundus scholarship
While studying as an under graduate student at University of Peshawar. I developed a slight tendency towards project management. In the courses of business administration it was a minor subject and was not taught as in detail such as accounting or economics.
But it was not after I completed my graduation and started working as a Research Consultant that I developed a knack for it. As I worked there for a few months I started to grab the importance of strategic project management in the business world. There at Khyber Pukhtunkhwa Development Network we were conducting monitoring and evaluation survey for three projects undertaken at district level. It was imperative that these projects be managed simultaneously through each phase. And for that, project management proved to be a corner stone.
I worked as a Parliamentary Associate at National Assembly of Pakistan under the European Union Project titled Improving Parliamentary Performance in Pakistan". I have had the honor to work at Project Management Unit of the project at National Assembly of Pakistan. I acted as a liaison for the implementing partners of the project. We conducted regular meetings, designed policy and did follow ups on the sub tasks entailed in the project. We received feedback and modified our strategies according to the feedback. Every Monday we would sit at the conference table and tally our development with our logical framework analysis and modify our goals with our timeline. Working in the " Improving parliamentary performance in Pakistan" enhanced my skills and I learned firsthand about how to take a project at National level and developed serious interest in Strategic Project Management.
I have remained a capable student through my academic career. I have good grades in most of the subjects I read in school and college. I always participated in co- curricular and extra- curricular activities. I was on football team at our college. I was member of the debating society, essay writing club and arts club. At University I was member of Blood Donors society. It was the biggest society at university and had 2000 members. I had the honor to be secretary for 2 years. We organized free blood donation camps and our members donated blood regularly at major hospitals in Peshawar. I represented my university twice in Mind Quest Competition held at Lahore University of Management Sciences in 2009 and 2011. I participated as stage secretary in different seminars at our university on many occasions.
I come from a far flung and backward area of Parachinar, Kurram agency. It is one of the seven agencies that comprise FATA. Federally administered tribal areas, as they are otherwise called have a rugged mountainous terrain, with literally no health care and education facilities, still ruled under the black rule of Frontier Crimes Regulations. I worked hard as a boy in school and was selected in the prestigious boarding school cadet college kohat. I passed my Secondary and Higher secondary school examination from there in 2005 and 2007.then I took admission in university of Peshawar and graduated in business administration in 2011. I had the honor of studying on Higher Education Commission grant at university of four years.
