This project at FJWU is technically feasible because biotechnology is the need of time .At present there is only one public sector university in Rawalpindi (University Of Arid TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY Agriculture) which is offering masters and graduation in biotechnology. There are very few fields for premedical students and there are a large number of candidates. Some private university are also offering masters and graduation in biotechnology but they are too much expensive and cannot be affordable by common people .FJWU is providing an opportunity to be a graduate in biotechnology at a low cost on merit bases.
The project is socially feasible because there are a large number of girls who want to get education in the biotechnology but they are unable due to the social custom because their parents feel in secure for getting them admitted SOCIAL FEASIBILITY in any coeducation university. FJ WU is the one and very affordable university and it can provide a chance for the girls who are restricted by their families to get education in biotechnology.
TERM FEASIBILITY
In long term, introduction of biotechnology department will serve as a great asset for Pakistan as it will produce 25 graduates every year.
There is not so much expense on building because COMMERCIAL FEASIBILITY we have required place in
environmental sciences department and we will utilize that space for biotechnology. We need to hire faculty and there we will be need of biotechnology labs and infrastructure for lab.
There is need to provide quality education for females of Pakistan so that they may become the competent citizen of Pakistan and help in OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY economic growth of Pakistan. As our project is meeting with the goals and mission of FJWU so it is operationally feasible. It will produce specialize graduate which will help in the development of society and economy of Pakistan.

Project scope definition:
The project will introduce a new department of biotechnology to impart a quality education to the students in this field at undergraduate level. Characteristic of subject: Biotechnology is a huge influence for a positive future because it plays a key role in the preservation, conservation and quality production that can enhance and improve the quality of life for all living organisms. If we want the earth to continue providing us with clean air, pure water and rich, productive soils, we need to realize the importance of applying biotechnology applications in order to improve and support our quality of life. It is important to understand the
importance of biotechnology, and how it is being used to help improve the quality of life for all living organisms now and in the future. Project boundaries: The new department will impart education at the undergraduate level not for the postgraduate level. The project does not require a new land for this department. Project deliverables:
Following are the main deliverables for the opening of department of biotechnology: y y y y y Strategic planning and oversight Curriculum development Facility and equipment planning Faculty recruitment and development Student admission and student life
Project acceptance criteria: y Project will benefit the people who do not want to send their daughters far away for academic purpose. y y y Project aims for long-term of providing quality education to females. Clear objectives and plans Acceptable budget
Project constraints: Every project has to manage four basic constraints scope, time, budget and quality. y Limited resources (money) are available to open a whole new department in the university. No other funds are available except the ones given by the federal government. y Limited time is another constrain because we have to finish the project before the university announce the admissions for the bachelor programs. y Security is also being a constraint in our project.
Risks: y y y y New students will get admission in this subject or not Equipment and books be there on time or not Poor communication will results in quality problems Cost may get larger than estimated

Initial project organization: y y y y Sponsoring: Higher Education Commission, Government of Pakistan Execution: Fatima Jinnah women university, Rawalpindi Operating & Maintenance: Fatima Jinnah women university, Rawalpindi Source of funding: Federal Government Grant
Project schedule milestones: y y y y y y y y Decide where to set up the biotechnology laboratory in the department Purchase the laboratory equipment Make the lab equipment to be placed properly in the lab Establish a biotechnology section in the library Purchase the books and place them in the library Defining the curriculum Selection of rooms where classes to be conducted Hiring of the professor and assistant professor
RISK ANALYSIS
There is great risk of the enrolment in a new department. Because there are less chances of awareness in students. Number of Applicants for Admissions As there are other universities offering the same course so the competition is very high.
As the faculty is somewhat available in the department so we only need seven to eight more professors of biotechnology.
Availability of Appropriately Trained The competition is high so the trained faculty of Faculty biotechnology will less likely to work in a newly opened department because the competitor may offer them high salary packages and other facilities
Another important reason for unavailability of trained faculty might be that they felt less job security.
Phasing the project development and continually Managing the Cost of Project. testing the scope against available funding and changes in a dynamic construction market will be
The non-availability of finance facility will delay the project further and will cause the capital cost Non Availability of Financing Facility. to go up
As the financer is government who is issuing the funds so government can issue limited funds. If government issue funds later for new department than the project might get failed.
OPENING A BIOTECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT FATIMA JINNAH WOMEN UNIVERSITY: The importance of opening of Biotechnology department is a necessary in Fatima Jinnah Women University in this modern time.
