The following details are about his contributions during the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction in the Earthquake affected areas of Bagh District;

    Meherban was SMT incharge in the two SMTs of Kirni and Hundi. He faced problems and pressure but not compromised on the ERRA policies .It was very difficult to mobilize the people of the boarder area to follow the ERRA guideline. They were not ready to construct their houses according to ERRA guideline because local made houses are useful during firing and shelling, but Meherban’s commitment and hard work and strong mobilization make it possible to change the mind set of the people and the community strongly followed the ERRA guide line, he also mobilized the local community to purchase material for construction in bulk from the local market and Rawalpindi also, and the community followed the idea and save a lot of money.

    Work pressure and time management was also a big challenge for his team. Being a professional social organizer he faced all those problems and manage the team and provide necessary assistance to them, and coordinate with the district management for the success of the project, arrangement and maintenance of vehicles, cameras, computers, GPS and other necessary tools for engineers account assistants and social organizer made possible on time.

    He played his role in identification of vulnerable in the SMTs and prepared their action plan, contact with other organizations and mobilized the local community for construction of their houses. Due to a strong Conceptual Mobilization of him 99% of the community of the concerned area followed the ERRA guideline. He organized Community into a network of CO, VO and finally in LSO. Two in RnR area and one in other union council

    He highly cooperated with Government Departments, NGOs and other stockholders who are working for the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of the area. His cooperation with the PPAF team in the remote area was also remarkable in taking them for visit and inspection of houses, managing and keeping record of SMTs.

  18. Conguratulations to all who got their Phd and Masters degrees from IED. they really deserve our appreciation as they are going to be makers of our future generation. However, I abstain from appreaciating NGO people who got award for their ‘services’.
    I take pity on the people who showered praise on Meharban Karim. Come on guys he was paid for what he was doing. If he was that sincere, then he should have gone to serve the communities living in harsh conditions in Gulturi, Qamri and Broghul. If one earns millions in year in a famous NGO and claims to serve the community, then we should condemn and discourage this trend. It shows our shallowness and failure to differentiate between real service and paid service, hence failure to appropriately appreciate. Please stop praising NGO people here. i will conguratulate if someone gets a job there. But to declare NGO person as saviour of humanity is an insult of humanity.

  19. Well done Karim. I understand how challenging it is to work in the mainstream/ difficult locations and demonstarte your worth. I am extreamely happy to know that your extraordinary performance has been appriciated by the program which operates its program country wide.

    Best

  20. @ Khameto!!!!!

    Yes my dear you are absolutely right that Mr. Meherban Karim was paid for that job and he had to do that, but some thing to remember is that there are many professionals who are doing the same job and such kind of recognition events are held in there organizations as well but how many people are there who get succeed or prove themselves to be a nominee for such awards.

    We should encourage those who do hard work and show sincerity with their jobs. This kind of success stories helps our young stars to set a goal and to do hard work for their future. Please think for a while, what will happen if we praise or encourage someone on their achievements? If we will get any kind of reduction in our status or that will reduce our property, nothing, but only encouragement for both the person who is praised and our youth who will be the leader of our future. One thing I want to ask you, if you are that much sincere with the areas you mentioned above, why are you scared from writing your actual name?

    Wish you good luck and keep on writing with your real name!!!!!!

  21. @khometo
    My dear, if you are sincere, why you are not showing your name. It was recognition by World Bank, I am working with a national NGO not international and i am earning in millions or billions you have no right to count that. I don’t know why you are so angry and jealous. Your behavior shows that you are not well socially and mentally .if I am paid for my service then those who got Phd degrees and masters from IED are also paid teachers.

    Meherban Karim

  22. I love to congratulate all those who have done their M.Ed from AKU-IED.
    I also falicitate Mr. Mehrban Karim for his award achievement.

    Best of luck and keep going on, you people are obviously the role model for the generation, be positve and encouraging.

    Wish you all the best.

  23. Mr Khameto
    dear this is not the person who requests for the award this is the managment who decides whom to give and that award is not such a big thing for that person who belongs to north and specially from gojal we teach people about development ask NRSP for that why you critiseze meherban use common sence..

  24. A single teacher has more worth than hundred people of NGOs. though it is different issue that our society does not hold teachers in high esteem. it is more facinated by looks of ngo. I am frustrated, and mentally and socially not well because our society is mentally ill. Me and you are just indicators of that illness.

  25. Dear Mehrban, Congratulations! Infact, You are the best teacher and social change agent with modern Knowldge, Skills and Attitude. Keep it up.
    ………………………………………..

    Dear Khameto, if you are a great teacher then “Give Respect and Get Respect”. Keep smiling and start appeciating and encouraging those who do/ did something good for people in need.

    Regards
