I'm honored to represent our dedicated road safety team in presenting the achievements of our ongoing project at Edinburgh Napier University. This is an incredible opportunity to showcase Pakistan's multisectoral efforts in optimizing resources for road safety through innovative solutions and seek potential collaborations. Our project, focusing on reducing traffic accidents and integrating smart technologies into urban transport infrastructure, has already made significant strides. I'll be discussing how we’re using KAP survey findings and smart technologies like GTFS integration, smart journey planning, and IoT infrastructure to reshape road safety in Pakistan.

Looking forward to a productive discussion and building meaningful partnerships to save lives and create safer roads.

You might be thinking being a professor in Pakistan is supposed to be a glamorous gig, right?

Well, let me burst that iconic bubble for you, folks. For those of us on the Tenure Track System (TTS) in this country, it's more like waiting for rain in a drought: no salary increase but higher taxes in every budget.

Merely peanuts for higher education
THE recent government decision to slash the budget of the Higher Education Commission (HEC), from Rs65 billion to Rs25 billion, has left the university-level education sector in utter disarray. A government that expects its youth to lead the nation towards a prosperous future should not have cut the budget that supports their education. The decision has sparked outrage and confusion, highlighting a stark disconnection between governmental priorities and the actual needs of the critical sector. The budget cuts are a catastrophic blow to over 160 public universities across the country.
