Facilitate Women for Registration                 NADRA has taken the initiative that all Fridays will be exclusive female registration days across Pakistan in all the NSRCs to encourage women registration and make the process absolutely comfortable by not entertaining any Men during Fridays. This has encouraged woman to apply form their registration and a sharp increase has been observed in their registration. Currently, 55% applications belong to women out of total applications whereas this ratio was 35% previously. NADRA has established dedicated centers for women to enhance women registration throughout the country; centers in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Mardan are already functional.

 

Special Initiatives for Senior Citizens                 NADRA has taken another step for the convenience of the Senior Citizens of Pakistan, i.e. 65 Years and above will no longer have to renew their cards for the whole lifetime; therefore they do not have to undergo the inconvenience of the process, they will be given a preference in queues; this means if a Senior Citizen is spotted standing in the queue, he/she will be assisted by the staff of NSRC to appear via priority and those who are disabled and handicapped would be provided with wheel chairs.

 

Fast Track Lanes                 Fast Track Lanes have been implemented on an extra charge of Rs. 1000 to go through a faster VIP process of application; however the delivery of products will take the same duration as the regular customers. This has been implemented according to the international service standards and to avoid the SAFARISH/VIP culture, moreover traffic from the regular lanes would be diverted making it much more convenient even for the regular application customers. The revenue earned through this will be utilized to improve service for regular CNIC applicants.

 

BISP                 NADRA and BISP registration offices have been setup in relief camps on the directives of the President and Prime Minister to register the deserving women for Rs.1000 monthly stipend.

 

IDPs                 NADRA had also allowed its registration centers in Nowshowra, Chotta Lahore, Kohat, Mardan, Samarbagh, Wari, Swat and Peshawar III for issuing forms to the IDPs. NADRA had also made special arrangements for issuing ID cards to those affectees and had opened NADRA counters in all the camps where female staff had been deputed to entertain female affectees. Moreover, special arrangements had also been made for attestation of the ID cards of the affectees. The Benazir Smart Cards are expected to be distributed to the IDPs at relief camps shortly.

 

DUP Cards Processing                 NADRA has come up with a solution for all those who possess a duplicate CNIC either via genuine mistake or via forgery. Beginning from the 01st Apr 2009 and ending at 30th Jun 2009, NADRA is launching a duplicate CNIC campaign, hence all those who have a dual CNIC and encountering tremendous trouble in day to day affairs, can get this rectified in that duration. Following are the categories of people having a dual CNIC:   A. SAME PARTICULARS ON CNIC’S WITHOUT TRANSACTIONS This category has people who maybe applied from two different stations and now have their cards blocked due to duplication of application. this is a genuine mistake and the dues for this is far lesser than those having various transactions and being aware of the fact that this is not legally authorized. B. SAME PARTICULARS ON CNIC’S WITH TRANSACTIONS This category has people who have two CNICs with the same details and little difference and who are consciously doing transactions based on two different identities. This is legally not authorized and may lead to serious problems for them if they do not get it rectified within the specified timeline. This category has more processing fee as compared to the previous one as now these people willingly and consciously have transactions moreover our fees are only the processing fees as our people will have to work overtime in order to correct the processes. C. DIFFERENT PARTICULARS ON CNIC’S WITH / WITHOUT TRANSACTIONS This is the category of people who infact have gotten two identities in order to get away with anything based on the different IDs. In the eyes of law they are committing a serious crime and the penalty for this will be dealt in the court. However we are giving them a chance to come up to us and surrender their cards and get one identity in the duration of three months and non-conformity will lead to serious penalty, and nadra will take an action against them. DUP CATEGORIES & FEE STRUCTURE- CHECKLIST Categories Description (Below Matric) Fee (10 X Working Days) Literate Fee (10 X Working Days) Fast Track Fee (4 X Working Days) Abroad Fee (10 X Working Days) A Same Particulars on CNICs Without Transaction Rs 1000/- Rs 1000/- Rs 20,000/- $ 100/- B Same Particulars on CNICs With Transaction Rs 5,000/- Rs 10,000/- Rs 20,000/- $ 400/- C Different Particulars on CNICs With/Without Transactions Rs 10,000/- Rs 10,000/- Rs 20,000/- $400/- Objective of DUP-Processing The main purpose of a duplicate campaign is to eliminate flaws in the system and corruption amongst people and to let them know that their Identity is one. NADRA is aware of the 98000 people and their whole data who have duplicate cards as of now, however instead of taking an action right away against them, NADRA is giving them a chance to correct this issue. Many people are having problems in passports to bank accounts due to duplicate CNIC’S and having 98000 people mean that you can actually double them in number as far as identity cards are concerned. Therefore in case of any security hazard or crime these people will actually get away for a while based on dual identity and the authorities will take longer to trace them as compared to people with one identity. Some of them will have gotten the cards maybe due to an older system and some due to a negative intention to begin with therefore we have bifurcated the categories and will cater to all kinds of individuals, having but one objective at the end, that every Pakistani Citizen should only have One Identity.

POLIO INITIATIVE                 Polio program started in 1994 when there were a total of 23500 polio cases reported nationwide. The first child to be immunized was none other than Asifa Bhutto daughter of the then Prime Minister Shaheed Benazir Bhutto. Due to the polio campaigns the number of reported polio cases kept on decreasing every year and till 2007 only 32 cases were reported. However 2008 brought alarm bells to the health environment as for the first time in history it raised from 32 to 118, hence stress was laid upon accelerating and giving special attention to the effort. Role of NADRA NADRA has always been conscious of child registration however this time NADRA started thinking upon the lines of registering and vaccinating the children, thus creating awareness and importance of health nationwide. NADRA had a platform which could be utilized, thus meetings took place between NADRA officials and that of Ministry of Health. NADRA offered the services of its 185 Mobile Registration Vans at a meeting chaired by the Prime Minister and NADRA was represented by Secretary Interior who offered our full support and cooperation to the whole initiative. At the district level all of our MRVs incharges had to coordinate with Health EDOs. One member Polio team was placed in each MRV, and wherever the MRVs went two separate lines were formed one of registration and other of Polio. Prior announcements were made in local mosques.

e-Vehicle Management System NADRA has developed the multiple-pronged “e-Vehicle Management” system that uses Radio Frequency Identification Device (RFID) technology to identify vehicles approaching ‘manned’ & ‘unmanned’ Check-Posts at entry/exit with real-time monitoring at the central control room. RFID passive contact-less chips are placed on vehicle’s windshield that contain vehicle’s details, linked with the owner’s details at the database level. The information stored in the RFID contact-less chip is encrypted ensuring international standards of security. Designated Check Posts are equipped with cameras, RFID antennas, static scanners and magnetic loops that are able to read the RFID tags on passing vehicles. Transmission of complete date including timestamp, vehicle information and Check Post details are transmitted in real-time to the central control room that allows authorities to monitor & generate route of vehicles. Suspect vehicles are marked in the system and alerts are generated when that vehicle crosses any Check Post. The e-Vehicle Management System has the following elements: Vehicle Identification and Monitoring System (VIMS): Vehicles are issued unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) embedded in encrypted RFID contactless chips. The system allows authorities to monitor passage of vehicles and traffic levels at check posts helping them to eradicate vehicle theft and smuggling, catch suspects and improve vehicle tax collection. Vehicle Access Control System (VACS): VACS can be deployed in secured premises/ building entry/exit points to restrict access of vehicles at designated gates, levels and points. The system is useful in monitoring activity at entry/exit points and generates reports of visitors and staff vehicles. The VACS is a valuable tool where security is a priority and passage of vehicles must be regulated by time. Vehicle e-Toll Collection System: This system can be deployed at toll plazas on motorways and/or highways for electronic collection of toll from vehicles bearing the e-Tag. The system includes Rechargeable credit mechanism and smooth reconciliation of collected toll providing comfort and time-saving to frequent travelers. The system is easily configurable and modifiable and generates reports on financials and traffic turnover.
