Higher education sector budget increased by Rs15bn
Kashif Abbasi
June 12, 2021
ISLAMABAD: The Higher Education Commission (HEC)’s budget saw an increase of around Rs15 billion compared to the outgoing year’s allocation as the federal government earmarked Rs108 billion for development and non-development expenditure of the higher education sector.
According to the budgetary documents, for the fiscal year 2021-22 the government has earmarked Rs108 billion - 42.4b for development and 66.25b for non-development expenditure of the HEC.
An amount of Rs42.4b has been earmarked for 127 ongoing and 39 new development schemes.
The news schemes included the establishment of Institute of Sufism and Mysticism at Bahauddin Zakariya University for which the government has set aside Rs100 million for the upcoming fiscal year.
Whereas Rs350 million have been allocated for Kamyab Jawan Sports Academies and Youth Olympic at HEC and Rs525 million for establishment of a technology park at Sukkur IBA University, Rs300 million for Fullbright scholarship Support Programme HEC-USAID.
Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University Peshawar, Rs375 million have been allocated.
For the construction of an academic block at Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Medical University, Rs300 million have been set aside.
Moreover, Rs300 million have been allocated for the construction of the main campus of Khushal Khan Khattak University.
Rs575 million have been earmarked for construction of two new departments at Quest Nawabshah;
Rs600 million for development of essential needs for establishment of Government College University, Hyderabad,
Rs300 million for development of Government College University Lahore campus at Kala Shah Kaku.
Rs375m for development of University of Okara,
Rs200m for enhancement of academic facilities at NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi,
Rs400m for the establishment of Comsats University at Kot Addu.
For the outgoing fiscal year, the federal government had earmarked Rs93 billion for the HEC - Rs29b for development and Rs64b for non-development schemes.
The universities and HEC have been demanding an increase in HEC’s budget especially for non-development. However, the budgetary documents showed that for the upcoming fiscal year there is no serious increase in non-development budget which is meant for salaries as government has earmarked Rs66.25bn for non-development budget compared to Rs64.1b for the same head in the fiscal year 2020-21.
HEC’s recurring budget was Rs63.1 billion in 2017-18, Rs65.02 billion in 2018-19, Rs64.1 billion in 2019-20. The same allocation of Rs64.1 billion in 2020-21 means the recurring budget remained almost stagnant.
The non-development budget is meant for 138 public sector universities with 92 sub-campuses.
Meanwhile, Federation of All Pakistan Universities Academic Staff Association (Fapuasa) expressed concerns over the HEC budget.
It said the universities had demanded Rs150bn non-development budget but the government set aside only Rs66.25 billion non-development budget.
Through a press release, Fapuasa representatives said they would stage protests against the government for allocating less budget for non-development schemes for the public sector universities.

Punjab Govt to Fund Microchip Design Centres at 8 Universities
The government of Punjab has approved funds worth more than Rs. 41 million for the development of chip design centers at eight universities across the province.
In a bid to spread awareness about and for the development of micro and nanoelectronics, these chip design centers will be installed at the
1. UET Lahore,
2. UET Taxila,
3. ITU Lahore,
4. Islamia University Bahawalpur this year.
The remaining four centers will be established at the
1. MNS UET Multan
2. KF UEIT Rahim Yar Khan
3. the University of Gujrat,
4. University of Chakwal next year.
The provincial government has taken this initiative knowing that Pakistani universities do not extensively impart the skills which are flourishing rapidly worldwide.
Therefore, this project will provide training in essential courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels to teach students about chip design and its related tools. The training will essentially equip each student to compete against other IC design players, and promote the R&D culture and future innovations from a Pakistani perspective
