My young friends I look forward to youth the real makers of Pakistan, do not be exploited and do not be misled.

Create amongst yourselves complete unity and solidarity. Set an example for what youth can do. Your main occupation should be in fairness to yourselves sin fairness to your parents in fairness to the state to devote your attention to your studies. If you fritter away your energies now you will always regret. After you leave the portals of your universities and colleges then you can play your part freely and build yourselves and the state.

INTRODUCTION
The University of Karachi was established in June1951 under the Karachi University Act in a few dilapidated buildings in a congested area of Karachi. Later, an area of 1200 acres was acquired to set up a permanent Campus. After the completion of the first phase of construction, the University was shifted at the present place in 1960. Today the University is recognized as a premier centre of learning and research in the Subcontinent and in the Third World. A number of scientists and scholars affiliated with the University are working in important positions both within and outside Pakistan and have won recognition and acclaim. One of the institutes of the University has got the distinction of being made the Centre of the Third World Academy of Sciences. Students from several foreign countries are also pursuing for the Masters and Doctorate degrees. Because of high academic and research standards of the University a large number of students from Karachi and other parts of the country apply for admission here. Keeping in view a very high number of applicants, the University has started evening classes in several departments at BS and Masters levels and a Directorate of Evening Program was established to control and run Evening Program. The schedule of Admissions under this program will be announced separately through the national newspapers in the month of November for BS program and in the month of May for Masters program (See appendix-B). At present teaching in the University campus is conducted under six faculties: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Administrative and Management Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Pharmacy. There are 52 departments and 17 research institutes/centres, which are imparting education to more than 24,000 students including students from foreign countries. The faculty comprises of more than 600 highly qualified and experienced teachers; many of them have obtained higher degrees from abroad and enjoy a high repute internationally. The non-teaching staff comprises more then 1700 people to help with administrative and other matters. The University of Karachi is also an affiliating and examining body and at present, 145 colleges and institutions are affiliated to the University. The courses of studies for these institutions are approved by the University and examinations are also conducted under its auspices. The University conducts examinations of about 150,000 students studying in these colleges/institutes, prepare their results and award degrees.

Students Affairs

DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY
Introduction
Biotechnology is defined as the application of biological systems to basic and technical and industrial processes. These processes are based on the use of some form of biological catalyst in the conversion of a substrate to a desired product. These biological catalysts are as simple as enzymes or highly complex microorganisms or eukaryotic cells. Biotechnology includes a wide range of activities. Each activity is associated with its own starting material (bacterial, fungal, yeast, plant, or animal cells or enzymes), technical manipulation (cell fusion, cell or enzyme immobilization, genetic engineering, etc.), processes (continuous or batch fermentation), and scale (small to very large), which are unique to that activity.

Scope of Biotechnology
Biotechnology can be viewed as a group of useful, enabling technologies with wide and diverse applications. It has large, highly profitable, modern industrial outlets of great value to society e.g. DNA recombinant technology, most revolutionary branch of the modern science and have a profound impacts on medicine, contributing to the diagnosis and cure of hereditary defects and serious diseases. The development of new biopharmaceutical drugs and vaccines for human and animal use. The modification of microorganisms, plants and farmed animals for improved and tailored food production and to increased opportunities for environmental remediation and protection. New technologies dealing with plant and animal breeding are much faster and have lower costs. Genetically modified crops are growing exponentially. The field is further exemplified with the industrial production of enzymes like proteases, amylases, celluloses, lipases etc. industrial manufacturing plants for milk and milk products, alcohols, organic acids, antibiotics, vitamins, growth promoting factors, monoclonal antibodies etc.

THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Department of Biotechnology was established in 1996 with the specific objective of imparting quality education in the multidisciplinary field of Biotechnology at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Introduction
The Institute was established in 1982. This is the oldest and pioneering Institute in the field of which is offering M.Phil and Ph.D degrees since then. Keeping in view the acute shortage of specialists it has started offering M.Sc. Postgraduate Diploma and Certificate courses since 1996. 1 he Institute provides excellent air-conditioned lecture hall, environmental laboratories, library and audiovisual facilities for the students. It is recognized as a technical Focal Point on Environmental Health Activities of WHO/EMRO and has been organizing WHO sponsored Workshops related to various environmental health and pollution problems with the collaboration of the Ministry of Health. The subject of environment is multidisciplinary in nature. The solution of environmental and related problems therefore requires the efforts of social scientists, health care personals, engineers, microbiologists, chemists, biologists and agriculturists. Medical profession although very much concerned with the health of the community also but it alone can not effectively solve environmental health problems. Civil engineers although taught about the public health engineering courses hut the\ lack the knowledge and expertise for solving the problems of environmental engineering involving the principles of biology, microbiology and chemistry etc. Therefore, there is a need to evolve and develop a course at the post-graduate level, which will involve the elements and fundamental principles of medicine, engineering and science for the solution of environmental problems and issues with a practical approach for solving such problems of developing countries. In other words the proposed M.Sc., degree in Environmental Science will bridge the gap that exists between courses in Community Medicine and Public Health and Environmental Engineering. In order to control environmental pollution the Government of Pakistan has enacted Environmental Protection Act and has already implemented National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) with effect from 1 .July. 1996. Karachi being the biggest industrial base with two major harbours has several thousand small and large industrial units is facing acute environmental degradation and deterioration problems. Although most of these industries have the desire to improve the quality of their effluent but due to paucity of expertise and professionals they can not do much to improve the situation. For checking and implementation of NEQS nearly 3000 environmental managers will be required in 10 years time. Apart from regular teaching programs the Institute has been regularly organizing short term training activities for in-service personnel and for those who are involved in research and development programs. The Mission of the Institute is to produce highly skilled man power who could handle contemporary issues related to environment and well being of man kind, disseminate, apply and use knowledge of environment and related fields to meet basic human needs. improve environment quality and to meet Millennium Development Goals (MDG).

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

INTRODUCTION

The Government of Pakistan and the US Government Technical Aid Program in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, USA, considering the future requirements and significance of trained managers, established an Institute of Business and Public Administration (IBPA) at the University of Karachi in 1955. This Institute served for a couple of years but later it suspended its Pubic Administration program. Realizing the value and need for Public Administration as a separate professional course, the University of Karachi initiated a two-years Master in Public Administration (MPA) degree program in 1985, Bachelors in Public Administration (BPA) in 1997 and Masters in Administrative (MAS) in 1999. The Department is also running a post graduate Diploma Program (PGDPA). In near future the Department is planning to introduce few new programs such as Diploma in Human Resource Management, Masters in Human Resource Management, Diploma in Labour laws and Administration, Diploma in Urban Studies and Diploma in Hospital Administration. The philosophy behind these programs is to prepare the future managers to take up the challenges of practical world and to help the students to understand the managerial tasks that come up in real life situations. MPAs and MAS have double advantage over the other graduates as they are not only aware of the administrative issues of public sector but also trained how to tackle the administrative dilemmas that confront the pnvate sector. And this is the specialty of this program. Gone are the days when a MPAs / MAS were supposed to be an individual busy in dealing with governmental affairs. Now, a MPAs / MAS are a real professional of the modern public and private sectors. MPAs / MAS today are playing a pivotal role in progress of different ill groom organizations and looking at the future demands of professional it can be me you Let predicted that Public Administration graduates will continue playing their major role in the development of economy and country both. Today, the Department has a professional body of highly experienced and devoted faculty members. Its premise has all necessary arrangements that turn an ordinary building into a place where knowledge seekers can quench their thirst. Its library has a large collection of an educational treasure that guides future administrators. Its computer lab has a big set-up of latest equipment that helps students get ready for the challenges of 21 century.

PART III. Reading Comprehension Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. A very important world problem which affects us at the moment is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet. The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate. In a survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the population exceeds five billion and is growing fast - by the staggering figure of 90 million in 1988 alone. Most experts believe the population size will still pass eight billion during the next 50 years. So why is this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as "Death Control". "Death Control" recognizes the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who, not very long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. Through a wide variety of technological innovations that include farming methods and sanitation, as well as the control of these deadly diseases, we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die - creating a population explosion. It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole. The birth of a baby in, for example, Hong Kong, imposes more than a hundred times the amount of stress on the world's resources as a baby in India. Most people in India do not grow up to own cars or air-conditioners - nor do they eat the huge amount of meat and fish that the Hong Kong child does. Their life-styles do not require vast quantities of minerals and energy. Also, they are aware of the requirements of the land around them and try to put something back into nature to replace what they take out. The Hong Kong person simply takes without any thought as to what effect he is having on nature. In short then, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind - not only through population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature. Nature is both fragile and powerful. It is very easily destroyed; on the other hand, it can so easily destroy its most aggressive enemy - man. 1. Suggest a suitable title for the passage. 2. What does 'it' refer to in line 3? i. important world problem ii. increasing number

62

iii. iv.

limited amount of land huge population.

3. Which of the following does 'Their' refer to in paragraph 5? i. babies in India ii. babies in Hong Kong iii. cars and air-conditioners iv. the world's resources 4. What reason has the author given behind the increase of the population? Use your own words. 5. The writer's main purpose in paragraph 5 is to argue that: i. people in developed countries generally have more impact on nature than others ii. Hong Kong children are generally better off than children born in India iii. Hong Kong children consume too much of the world's resources iv. people from some countries are more selfish than others in their consumption of resources 6. Which of the following could replace 'on the other hand' (paragraph 6) without changing the meaning: i. Besides ii. Furthermore iii. While iv. However 7. Based on information in the passage, which of the following would the writer probably recommend: i. increasing food and industrial production, and encouraging people in undeveloped countries to have fewer children ii. improving education about the environment and banning the export of wood products from poor to rich countries iii. encouraging people worldwide to have fewer children and to behave in a more responsible way towards nature iv. restricting population worldwide and increasing the use of nonrenewable resources Provide meaning of the underlined words with reference to the context.
