Vision

In many organizations all over the world despite the availability of more and more

powerful computers on everyone's desk and communication networks that span the globe,

large number of executives and decision makers can not get their hands on critical

information in time that already exists in organizations. This is classified as' data in jail'.

NADRA's objective is to go beyond the concept of 'data in jail'. For this purpose NADRA

has created National Data Warehouse, which is integrated and interfaced with each of the

databases other for optimum utilization by all users ensuring economy of effort and

resources. NADRA is aiming to bring in this culture and concept so as to meet the basic

requirement of IT Super Highway.

Vision Statement

NADRA, the authority, has been conceived as an instrument for implementation of

Government's Vision for the next millennium and to combat all evils of undocumented

population growth. The most comprehensive and statistical data will be available at the

National Data Warehouse. NADRA aims at including more or less every detail of every

Pakistani. The quality of data will be monitored through direct inputs from the user and

feeder agencies, and countrywide provincial, regional and District Offices. Thus, the

NADRA concept envisages availability of data including a Biographic Information Sheet

of every citizen and expatriate, encompassing all relevant social and fiscal indicators.

The diversity of data available within unified NADRA terminals would ensure smooth

planning and meaningful implementation of all governmental policies and projects,

leading to good governance, a cherished dream of every Pakistani.

User and Feeder Agencies

Sharing of National Data would be based on mutual interfacing, ensuring continuous

growth, expansion and updating of National Data Warehouse by inputs from user and

feeder agencies. Authorized government agencies, with access levels as ascertained by

laws, rules, and regulations, will have a link to the sophisticated database management



system at NADRA. Following are going to be the accredited users and feeders of Data

Warehouse of NADRA:

Federal & Provincial Government

Federal & Provincial Ministries

Election Commission of Pakistan

Private Agencies involved in Planning and Execution of Developmental Work

Central Board of Revenue

Excise and Taxation Department

Land Revenue Department

Autonomous / Semi-Autonomous Bodies like WAPDA, PTCL, etc.

Civil Forces

Armed Forces

Federal And Provincial Police

History



National Database Organisation (NDO) was established under Ministry of Interior as an

attached department to undertake the function of handling the data being collected

through National Data Forms during the Population Census 1998, which was conducted

from 2nd March 1998 to 18th March 1998. National Data Forms (NDFs) were designed

by a committee of experts encompassing maximum social and fiscal indicators as

implements for future planning, documentation of economy and for creation of a

comprehensive Citizens' Database. To cater for a cohesive and unified approach in both

Registration and Social fields NADRA was created on 10 March 2000 by merging the

National Database Organization (NDO) and Directorate General of Registration.

NADRA is an independent corporate body with requisite autonomy to remain free of

political pressure and interventions for all times to come.

Preamble

NADRA has been established with the objective of introducing a new, improved and

modernized registration system for the entire population and things of Pakistan (Refer to

NADRA Ordinance 2000 for details). Culminating among other things is the issuance of

state-of-the-art National Identity Cards (NICs) to all adult citizens of Pakistan. These

NICs shall be duly backed by the computerized database and data warehouse respectively

called the Citizens' Database and National Data Warehouse (NDW).

The concept was developed to help government in implementing a fact based system of

good governance in the country by encountering evils of undocumented population

growth and registration of items belonging to citizens and organizations. NADRA had

completed the creation of a comprehensive Citizens' Database by the new millennium

based on National Data Forms. An upgraded version of citizen's database is being

collected now-a-days with the help of National Form Application for issuance of new

computerized NICs.

NADRA Headquarters



NADRA is located in the State Bank Building, which constitutes history of being the

National Assembly building in the old days where in the historical Parliament Hall, the

1973 Constitution was discussed and approved by the Parliament. NADRA is working

with speed and efficiency to establish a countrywide data communication network for

linking central data warehouse with 5 Provincial Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar,

Quetta and 3 Regional Head Quarters located at Sukkur, Multan and Sargodha. The

quality of data will be regularly updated at Provincial and District Offices for use by the

authorized users and monitored through the direct inputs from the user and feeder

agencies. The data will be most comprehensive including statistical details of resource

and complete biographic details of every citizen.









Network Information Infrastructure

The NADRA Frame-Relay network infrastructure is made up of eight regional sites and

over a 100 smaller Swift Registration Centers (SRCs) which have dial-up connectivity to

their local Provincial headquarters.

The main backbone uses 256 Kbps DXX between all the sites in the design depicted in

Fig. 1. Each of the links is terminated on site at the Passport 6440 Frame-Relay Cloud

Generator. The Passport 6440 is a network consolidation switch which delivers a

powerful range of standards-based interfaces and services, high performance multi-

protocol routing and simultaneously supports voice, data, video and image traffic.

These devices provide Packet Switching at Layer2. The advantage of packet switching

lies in the ability of the technology for intelligent path determination based on factors like

link congestion, utilization, bandwidth and cost. End result is that data packets may

follow multiple paths to a single destination or in case of link failures an alternate path.

As well as using Frame-Relay as the basic frame work for a robust network, all of

NADRA’s PHQs incorporate Satellite technology for redundancy and back up links. So

all of NADRA’s main sites are connected via terrestrial as well as Satellite links for a

complete and un-beatable data communication solution. Fig 2 represents the data trunks

all over Pakistan.



Organizational Structure

The Nadra network department will go Commercial as 15th September 2002. The entire

department has been restructured to create a flexible, productive, commercially viable

and independent business entity. The aim of this realignment is to gain a return on the

original investment through commercial ventures which in turn will facilitate and finance

NADRA’s plans for expansions to over a 144 data and communication sites that span the

country as the largest network of its type.The network department falls directly under the

Chairman NADRA and is responsible for its own finances and business decisions.The

network team is made up of a number of technology specialists and engineers that are

presently manning all the various sites.





Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC)

NADRA is issuing new Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC’s) to all Pakistani

citizens.The CNIC is a comprehensive identification document that authenticates an

individual’s identity as a Pakistani citizen.The CNIC may serve as a proof of identity and

enables validated transactions being availed by various social or commercial services

across Pakistan.

The CNIC is integrated with the National Data Warehouse, enabling instant, online

electronic verification of an individual’s identity through the swipe-able VeriSys

system.The composite CNIC-Verisys system thus provides a new and an innovative

dimension to national security services.

Computerized National Identity cards are being issued to all adult citizens of Pakistan,

whereas, existing manual records of National Identity Cards (NIC’s) has been switched

over to the computerized database.

Security Features

The Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC) include a sophisticated array of

security features to safeguard any probable forgery. The CNIC contains machine-

readable information, although certain characters may be visible to the naked eye, others

must be verified through the use of optical aids. The special characteristics of the CNIC

will protect and ensure integrity, authenticity, and sophistication.



NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD FOR OVERSEAS PAKISTANI (NICOP)

Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to Pakistani

workers/emigrants and citizens /resident abroad and Pakistanis holding dual nationality

who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This card is known as

the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). On account of its utility, it is

an identification document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However NICOP

is more than just an identification document.

Name, Color and Design of NICOP

The NICOP have the same design and color as the CNIC card issued in Urdu, but with

minor differences, bear a MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) code at the back of the card,

which is readable by a machine. National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP)

carry a printed statement in English to the effect that applicant is entitled to Visa free

entry in to Pakistan.

BENEFITS TO NICOP CARD HOLDERS

(1) Without prejudice to any other rights, benefits, privileges or capacities enjoyed by or

available to a non-resident citizen who simultaneously holds the nationality or citizenship

of any other country or state together with his Pakistani citizenship, such non-resident

citizen shall, upon issuance of the card to him and during the period of validity of his said

card, have the right to enter into Pakistan without a visa from such port or place, by such

route and in accordance with such conditions, if any, as are prescribed pursuant to the

Passport Act, 1974 (XX of 1974).



(2) A card validly issued to a non-resident citizen shall be the conclusive proof of his

being a citizen of Pakistan for the purposes of availing protection of the Government of

Pakistan in any foreign country or state as a Pakistani citizen. The Federal Government

shall recognize, afford and ensure full protection as citizens of Pakistan available under

the law to all cardholders abroad.

Fee of NICOP

The Fee of National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) is US $ 15 and its

validity for 10 years



PAKISTAN ORIGIN CARD (POC)

A person shall be an eligible foreigner of Pakistan origin or eligible for Pakistan Origin

Card if he is a foreigner; and he had been a citizen of Pakistan at any time during his life.

Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to foreigners of

Pakistani origin who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This

card is called the Pakistan Origin Card. On account of its utility, it is an identification

document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However POC is more than just an

identification document.

Name, Color and Design of POC

The POC have the same design as the NICOP, but bears blue color. It has an MRZ

(Machine Readable Zone) code at the back of the card, which is machine readable. A

POC holder is entitled to Visa free entry in Pakistan. The POC number (printed on the

face of the card) has a similar format as the CNIC number, but is of a different series. It is

not the same as the CNIC number printed on the NICOP card.

Children Registration Certificate



Child registration is the fundamental right that every country should provide to the

children of its citizens. The right of name and nationality is ensured in Article 7 of the

United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child, where Pakistan was a signatory. It

states that:

“The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right to

acquire a nationality, and as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by

his or her parents”

Children registration is essential not only for their identity but also for governments for

their social services’ planning. It ensures the availability of health and educational

facilities to the children. Registration is a proof that is needed for a number of services

and it recognizes the child as a citizen of a country with rights to be cared for. Despite of

all the policies and legislations for birth registration, Pakistan has not been able to

achieve the targets and many children in Pakistan are still deprived of this fundamental

right.

NADRA is planning to take on the initiative of issuing Children Registration Certificate

for every Pakistani child less than 18 years of age. The certificate includes the

information about minors’ name & registration number, parents’ name and CNIC

(Computerized National Identity Card) numbers, date of birth, place of birth and gender.

Children will be allotted same registration number when he/she applies for CNIC on

attaining 18 years of age. It is the responsibility of every Child’s parents/guardian to

register their children who are less than 18 years of age. Application for CRC will be

received from NADRA Swift Registration Centers

Driving License



The prevailing turmoil and security concerns in the world demand hi-tech identification

and verification systems that would allow authorities to be constantly vigilant, thus

preventing crimes. NADRA recognizes its responsibility in doing whatever is possible to

ensure safety through the use of secure documents, to enhance public safety, hence

contributing to national security.

To cater to the need, both for homeland security and constant vigilance, NADRA has

developed an RFID-based driver license that bears the license holders personal

information and stores data regarding traffic violations, tickets issued, and outstanding

penalties. The data is stored in two halves in the chip. One half is brunt electronically, so

it cannot be changed or modified. This half contains the personal information of the

license holder. The second half is the re-writable part, where the history of violations is

recorded. The policemen/law enforcement agencies then transfer the data from their PDA

to the Central Server through a special key for data security. This installation of RFID

chips, makes it harder to counterfeit or steal driving licenses. These RFID tags thus foil

identity theft and prevent criminals from using false documents.

The license cards are designed so that driving rights are revoked electronically in case of

any offence or traffic violation. The system tracks all movement of users of RFID drivers'

licenses, while a comprehensive data of violations is stored electronically at the same

time. Any outstanding penalties are payable at electronic payment kiosks, while

comprehensive data of past violations and outstanding penalties is available to the

authorities.

Online Bill Payment



Building on the existing technologies of Biometric Identification and Online Verification,

NADRA has developed automated kiosks for various day-to-day transactions involving

the banking as well as the service sector.

The Online Payment Kiosk is designed to enable utility bills payments as well as perform

electronic banking after proper authentication from biometric and online verification

systems using the computerized national identity cards.

This Kiosk offers a convenient, low-cost alternative to bill payments and other financial

transactions without compromising customer convenience. These kiosks can be installed

at public places and are connected to NADRA's National Data Warehouse through secure

internet connections. High level encryption ensures protection of an individual's data

being transmitted to the warehouse for verification.

Additional Benefits ← Offers online banking and other services reducing teller lines and labor costs.

← User-friendly touch-screen increases throughput and speeds-up transaction time.

← Kiosks installed at offsite/remote locations offer convenience and more timely

payments.

← Selection of English and Urdu options empowers a wide-range of customers to

use the kiosk easily.

← Security algorithms ensure safety in each online transaction.

Return on Investment ← Electronic input reduces mistakes and errors.

← These Kiosks reduce the overall costs by lowering employee headcount.

← Additional incremental revenue through e-services.

Vehicle Identification and Tracking System (VITS) ← National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has developed a state-of-the-art

Vehicle Identification and Tracking System (VITS) based on leading RFID technology.



← VITS is being introduced as a sophisticated and high-tech system to help

control vehicle related crimes including car thefts,

through centrally controlled tracker chip, fixed on each

vehicle, known as Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

A unique Vehicle Identification Number is assigned to all

vehicles in Pakistan and issued the same on a secure document to the applicant. The VIN

tag contains vehicle information and attributes (colour, engine no., chassis no. etc), and

endorsement, to be accessible to law and order agencies through online access. This

access can be provided through existing communication networks in mobile and field

environments. Data on the vehicle owner registration document will be stored using a

robust encryption algorithm to prevent tampering.

←

← VITS gates shall be strategically located and vehicle crossing these designated points

shall be recorded (vehicle data as well as photograph). The VITS gates are equipped with

cameras and with the day and night capability to photograph vehicles with or without

VIN Tags installed. Security personnel would be in a better position to use handheld

mobile units to retrieve all information for on-the-spot review of vehicle records.

←

← This system would serve as an effective security/deterrence tool against car snatching and

other related criminal activities. The VIN would link NADRA’s existing network and

data warehouse infrastructure, which provides connectivity and information access to all

the provinces through one common database. It would thus be mandatory for every

vehicle to get VIN.

← Every police checkpoint in the country, all major bridges and entry/exit point of

cities/towns would be equipped with scanners and antennas to read the details of every

car/vehicle.

←

← The vehicles allotted VIN would be automatically identified, photographed, and checked

while those without VIN be monitored at the same time.

← VITS project is being piloted in Islamabad. It will be then rolled out to other parts of the

country.

Hints Tips

To help you, here are some hints and tips to refer to when applying for any vacancy.

DO:← Read the job advertisement very carefully before applying particularly the

section outlining required skills and experience.

Make sure that you definitely meet all of the minimum criteria required for

the job – otherwise it may be a mere waste of time.

Keep to the point, focusing on the quality of your achievements, not the

quantity.

Concentrate on your achievements and what you have learnt; this

enhances your responsibility list. Use real examples which prove that you

can do what you say you can (e.g; products launched, sales achieved,

teams managed, etc).

Achievements should be short, bullet pointed statements which include

your role, the action you took and the result of your action.

Check thoroughly for correct spelling and grammar (but not only with a

spell checker); if helpful why not get a second opinion?

Prove that you have done your homework and are motivated (use the

web, listen to/ watch relevant output and/or research your area, read any

relevant press etc).

Be honest and factual.



DON’T: Apply if you do not meet the required level of skill and experience sought.

List all the one-day training courses you have ever been on, unless any of

them are relevant to the job.

Use elaborate fonts or colors – keep it simple.

Forget that a good application is just a tool to get you an interview – it will

not get you the job alone, the rest is down to you.

Write too much – be as concise and relevant as you can.

Include a separate CV unless you have been asked to do so.

Use jargon or complicated language – ‘Simple Is Best’.

Send examples of your work or qualifications to support your application,

unless asked for.

Preparing for Your First Interview

We are aware how uncomfortable interviewing can be, especially when someone

is going into details about your resume or application. Try to relax and you will do

just fine.

Since we are trying to get to know you better, we will need your help, so be sure

to express your strengths and skills clearly. You will also want to explain the

areas you feel you need to develop - do not be afraid to share with us. We can

provide you with extensive training once you join us, so if you have got a soft

area or two, we can help strengthen your expertise in those areas.

Get yourself rest! This is very important, even in first interviews that are typically

short. In a second interview round, if required, you will definitely want to arrive

relaxed, because you may have to discuss in details with the interviewing body.

The Interview Listen well. Pay attention to the questions asked, and make sure you give

concise answers.

Be honest! Nobody's going to ask you if you have 20 years of experience.



We know you are just graduating. Simply emphasize your strengths for

our benefit.

Be direct. If you do not understand a question, ask to have it repeated.

It always makes a difference when you come across as confident and

comfortable.

The Interview Process?

We have a panel of interviewers, relavant to the nature of the post. A senior

member of the directorate along with the managers and HR staff might be

present.

Advice

You might be surprised to learn that as many as 75% of candidates perform

poorly at interviews. In most cases, it comes down to them not having the

necessary interview skills rather than them being unsuitable for the job. So if you

find interviews a daunting prospect, the following advice should come in quite

handy.

Pre-interview Preparation

The first step towards any successful interview is the preparation. Research the department and its programming - this will improve your

presentation and ensure that you sound confident, organized, and

motivated. The interviewers will be impressed by your knowledge and the

effort you have put into your preparation.

Know the name of the people who will be on the interview panel.

Be sure you know how to get to your interview, and leave plenty of time in

which to do it.

Read the job advertisement or web posting thoroughly and carefully. Be

clear about how you meet the criteria asked for, especially when it comes

to responsibilities you have had and any other abilities that make you a

particularly good candidate.



Study the job description, which outlines in detail the content and duties of

the job and the qualities expected of the successful applicant.

The Interview

Try not to be late, allow yourself plenty of time in case you may not get lost. First

impressions count, so dress appropriately.

Be polite.

Try to stay focused on the person asking the questions – give them your

full attention.

Sound positive about yourself and your achievements.

Don’t be negative about your previous employer.

Give yourself time to think – don’t be afraid to pause if you need to think

about your answer.

Be clear and brief in your communication – try not to ramble.

Always be prepared to give real life examples to support any of your

claims.

Ask the interviewer for clarification if you’re not sure what s/he is asks for.

Focus on your strengths.

Avoid jargon.

Don’t under-estimate your skills and abilities.

If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so. There is nothing wrong

with being honest. Always come prepared with questions of your own to

ask at the end of the interview. For example you may wish to know about

the working environment, whether you will be working alone or as part of a

larger team, what the prospects for training and promotion are etc. All this

shows that you have given the role some serious thought and are

genuinely interested.

In ergonomics we primarily address to issues

I- Safety

2- Comfort of the workers

In safety we primarily to issues the design of the budding which has resistance against

natural plenty such as earthquake etc. in the machine design which insure safety of the

worker from electric shoot or any other physical damage to the worker.



Second issue is in case of my unfortunate accident the building design should help the

rescue worker to evacuate the building in case of any unfortunate accident it should be

easier to shut down the machine without affecting the work of the entire factor. And if

hand or any other body part stuck in the machine it should be easier to release it as for as

NADRA is concern the building does not provide safety to the workers building is not

ergonomically design which is quite understandable because building is not a planed

construction NADRA is start its proceedings from a small hall and with the passage of

time and with the growth of the company the new construction takes place. The building

is not fire and earthquake resistance and evacuation is also not easy. However, the

machinery which is used in NADRA is imported and ergonomically design and it insure

the safety of the worker.

The company also hire a mechanically engineer who insure that machine should work

properly the company also hire foreman, electrician this work force insure proper

maintenance of machinery. As for as training of the work force is concern it is quite up to

the mark the people working in NADRA got the adequate skills the management of the

NADRA give importance of the worker in every department the standard operating

procedures (SOP's) is written on walls.
