Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq will unveil the first-of-its kind "Parliamentary Studies Programme" in leading national and private universities of the country here at the Pakistan Institute of Parliamentary Services on February 9, 2015. The brainchild of the Speaker, the programme is aimed at inculcating the importance of democracy, its role in national development, and the scope and working of the parliamentary institutions among the youth through classroom instruction.
The programme, thus, is aimed to effectively address the continued neglect in promoting a democratic culture in Pakistan. What is more, the course is also designed to ensure the provision of qualified human resources, appropriately equipped with relevant knowledge and expertise to serve the parliamentary institutions and the legislators effectively. There has long remained a dearth of such human resources, which is cited as a key handicap in the smooth functioning of the parliamentary institutions.-PR
