Nokia is regarded as such a Phone maker with high standard and for general public. The feature Nokia Mobile Phones provides long term efficiency to its users.  Nokia also deals in manufacturing of Smartphones with high and low specs. But a sad news for Nokia fans is that Nokia is going to surrender its rights as current Mobile Company, as Microsoft has made a deal with Nokia Corporation to purchase Nokia Mobile Company.

The deal entitled current Nokia stakeholders to earn $7.1 Billion, while the deal will make Microsoft as World’s second largest Mobile Manufacturing Company. So ready for not seeing Nokia made Smartphone again.

The brand will remain as a separate company along with a board of members, while Microsoft will reduce the work force and labor as well. The company will retain the same name as it has now i.e. Nokia.

The American Based Microsoft has acquired the rights to Asha (a low end Smartphone Series), Lumia (a mid range and high range Smartphone Series) and Nokia X as well. Microsoft is planning to use “Microsoft Mobile” instead of Nokia on all alliance’s future devices, interesting to see what level of success Microsoft can get with that name.

Punjab Government to Establish Engineering & IT University in Rahim Yark Khan

Government of Punjab is taking good and fruitful decisions to improve the life style of Punjab Residents, Punjab is the most developed province of Pakistan and has more resources than other provinces, the other reason is that the management of Province Punjab seems to be more hard working than other, though the problems are prevailing like in all other provinces, but the process of change and development process put Punjab on right track.

Education is the biggest factor which plays a vital role in the progress of any nation, Punjab Government is running so many educational projects for the welfare of Public including Danish School System, Punjab Education Endowment Fund and the public welfare projects, while several others are also playing their role for the welfare of Punjabians.

There is a perception that the residents of Southern Punjab are facing problems and have lesser opportunities than Northern Punjab, I think up to some extent, this perception is right, but the residents of Southern Punjab are responsible equally for their situation, as they didn’t upgrade their culture, life style according to needs of time, there are still many areas in Southern Punjab where Chudhary System (Ruling of one One Man over Several on the basis of his superior Financial condition) and Punchayet (Local Decision Committee) prevails, and this system is not in any mode to allow the general public to educate themselves.

Education is a good tool to use for getting not only good life style, professional knowledge and these will cause surely a positive change in the life style. Some of the good examples of Education Institutes include Islamia University Bahawalpur and Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan.

CM of Punjab has issued instructions for the Establishment of a New Engineering & It University in Rahim Yar Khan District. The Classes will start from coming September, while construction of University will be completed within a period of One Year.

The University will be completed with a total of 3 Billion rupees, while the University is named as Khawaja Ghulam Farid University of Engineering and Information Technology.

University will offer admission in Electrical and mechanical engineering, information technology and computer sciences will commences from September 2014.
