Mechanized irrigation, corporate farming to help propel agricultural productivity
ISLAMABAD, Dec 16 (APP): Mechanized irrigation system and corporate farming would help propel agricultural productivity besides realizing the long-term ambitious goals of achieving food self sufficiency in this sector. Agriculture sector-main backbone of the economy has been accorded top priority in the major policy initiatives taken by the government, said sources at the Agriculture Ministry. The Federal government under the patronage of the President has already provided Rs 120 billion to all provinces with the help of World Bank for lining of canals and watercourses and using concrete parabolic to save valuable water from seepage, added the sources.
In line with the policy carved out for the agri-sector, the Sindh government has awarded a project to Dewan Group for providing state of the art mechanized irrigation system for water conservation and productivity enhancement.
An accord is expected to be inked shortly between the Sindh government and Dewan Group.
The project has been awarded after open biding in which 15 companies participated. Dewan Group is pioneer in bringing and setting up various modernized industrial projects in the country the largest polyester project Dewan Sulman Fiber.
Mechanized irrigation technologies application will greatly help and lead the country on the path of achieving food self sufficiency, observed the sources.
With the application of mechanized irrigation systems and the development of corporate farming projects, Pakistan will not only achieve self reliance but also reposition itself to export food to Middle East and South East Asian countries.
The Dewan Group also participated in a mega event sponsored by the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock (MINFAL) for introducing high efficiency irrigation systems for water conservation and productivity enhancement this year.
It is worth mentioning, the government has allocated over Rs 18 billion under subsidiary programme for five years to facilitate farmers adopting latest irrigation systems and techniques.

There are about 1,700,00 water courses with a total length of about 1.6 million kilometers which distribute water with 44 canal system spread over 56073 kilometers, they added.

Billions of rupees bank loans settlement
Dewan Group has proposed to sell its cement and sugar companies to settle billions of rupees worth bank loans in an apparent last ditch effort to remain afloat, people close to the development said.
Top Pakistani bankers will meet on Friday to discuss whether the four companies should be liquidated or sold to some other business group, which could turn them around to pay off their liabilities, they said.
“The group has over Rs50 billion in debt,” a banker said. “In some cases, banks have not received a single installment or interest payment during the last four years. It is about time that they sell their assets to settle our debt.”
Likely outcome of deliberations will be the sale of two cement and two sugar units to recover part of the loans, while the remaining would be paid off by the new owner later, a banker said.
The Dewan Group, which owns 14 companies, has borrowed from almost all the Pakistani banks. Most of its factories are closed as banks have stopped financing working capital.
As of March 2010, Dewan Sugar Mills has accumulated losses of Rs661 million, which eroded its paid-up capital by Rs106 million. Its current liabilities exceed assets by Rs2.09 billion.
The other sugar mill is Dewan Khoski Sugar. Its financial statements were not available on the website of the group. The financial statements of Dewan Hattar Cement were also unavailable.
Dewan Cement is in a relatively stable position with fixed assets valued at over Rs19 billion. The losses incurred by the company are mainly due to the economic slowdown.
At its prime, Dewan had a turnover of over Rs30 billion and around 12,000 employees. Now its workforce has shrunk to 4,000.
A banker said that chances for the loan rescheduling seem remote. “The situation could have been different if Dewan Group had made the offer two years back.”
Dozens of recovery suits are pending before courts. The group has also filed counter suits against banks.
It still has some companies, which carry a lot of intrinsic value. The Dewan Salman Fibre is the country’s largest manufacturer of polyester stable fibre.
“This valuable company is literally dormant,” said Hamad Aslam, head of research at BMA Capital.
“The other two local PSF makers are running at full capacity and yet the country has to import to meet local demand. So you can imagine the potential.”
Some people close to the Dewan family say banks have been ruthless in their demands. “If a little more time had been allowed, the companies could have made a comeback. Other companies in cement, sugar and automotive industries are doing pretty good these days.”
The decline of the once powerful group in the wake of infighting between Dewan brothers is classic example of the vulnerability of family-run businesses.
A source said for too long, the group avoided hiring professionals in the management and relied on family members for its operations, something that ultimately proved disastrous.

PP-206: Mujtaba emerges favourite candidate
MULTAN, April 29: Differences among the key political families of Jalalpur Pirwala have favoured Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) candidate for PP-206 by-election Syed Mujtaba Gilani, who is likely to get support of the leading figures of the area, Dawn has learnt.
The provincial assembly’s seat fell vacant when member of Pakistan Muslim League-Q (PML-Q) Naghma Mushtaq Lang resigned on April 7. Ms Lang’s graduate degree was challenged by runner-up Malik Muhammad Akram Kanhoon. After her resignation, Ms Lang has been awarded ticket by the ruling PML-N for the election.
Mr Gilani, the younger brother of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, who earlier failed to get the PPP ticket for NA-178 by-election, was nominated for the by-poll by the party’s parliamentary board, led by PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari.
The leading political figures of the area besides Ms Lang are former provincial minister Rana Qasim Noon and PML-Q MNA Dewan Ashiq Bukhari. So far, Noon and Dewan families have put their weight behind Mr Gilani.
Ms Lang is the widow of former MPA Malik Mushtaq Lang, who died in 2004 when he was Jalalpur Pirwala tehsil nazim. Ali Mushtaq, the son of Mushtaq Lang, died in a tragic accident in 2005.
In 2008 elections, the Dewan group and the Lang group, under the leadership of Dewan Ashiq Bukhari, contested against the Noon group, led by Qasim Noon.
The Dewan group fielded Ms Lang and Mehdi Abbas Langah for PP-206 and PP-205 and Dewan Ashiq Bukhari for NA-153, all on PML-Q tickets. All three candidates won their seats.
Qasim Noon, who had contested for NA-153 as independent candidate and lost the seat with a margin of just 1,000 votes, later joined the PML-N. When he saw Ms Lang would be the ultimate PML-N candidate in the by-election, Mr Noon met with the prime minister and announced joining the PPP.
Mr Bukhari who is still in the PML-Q has very close relations with Prime Minister Gilani. He reportedly contacted the PPP to get the ticket for his son Dewan Muhammad Abbas.
Later on, both Noon and Dewan groups agreed on the younger Gilani as candidate for the seat.
It is also expected that Mr Gilani would be elected unopposed if court disqualify Ms Lang because of her fake degree and the PML-N may not get any suitable candidate to face the PPP candidate.
