ADDITION

It is submitted that the subject project was approved in PDWP meeting held on
dated___________ vide minutes of the meeting NO_________ dated ______for a period of three years
(2011-2014). The actual starting year of the project was 2012-13 due to procurement and other
important arrangement for implementation of the project at Agriculture Research Institute Food
Technology section Tarnab Peshawar.
As per PC-I of the project Public Private Partnership with a well reputed civil society
Organization was one of the objective of the project. In this regard efforts were made by this Office
from the last one year to register a well-established organization and start business accordingly. For the
purpose various visits were made by the undersigned to Co-operative department but no proper forum
identified. Finally bids proposals were called through daily Newspapers ( Mashriq dated_____) but no
any organization applied for the partnership except STAR, while as per provincial procurement
financial rule at least three organizations were required for submission of proposals.
It is worth mentioning that Food Technology section ARI Tarnab is a well reputed
Section for value addition of different fruits, vegetables and pulses and all the activities are smoothly
running in the section transparently. The project life is also going to be completed in very near future
and is very difficult to identify an organization for private partnership. It is proposed that approval may
kindly be accorded to provide services of this important activity to the general public of the province
on need basis and to generate regular income for the government exchequer which will be properly
auditable.
Submitted for approval please.
