DISTINGUISHED VISITORS’ COMMENTS ABOUT KIM
This was my first visit of the Institute; I hope I will get more opportunities to visit this important institute. I was briefed by the Director General, KIM about the working of the Institute and its financial problems. All that he has done in a short span of time is really wonderful and without him, I am afraid, this institute would not have been doing this fair job for the future of AJK. I am really satisfied by the performance of the administration. May Allah give them strength to improve it day by day.

کشمیر انسٹیٹیوٹ آف مینجمنٹ میں یہ میرا دوسرا دورہ ہے، پہلی دفعہ بحیثیت قائد حزب اختلاف اور اب بطوروزیراعظم یہاں آنے کا اتفاق ہوا۔ مجھے امید ہے کہ یہ ادارہ آزاد کشمیر کی سِول سروس کو مضبوط اور فعال بنانے میں کُلیدی کردار ادا کرے گا اور پُورے ملک میں ایک امتیازی حیثیت اختیار کرے گا۔ یہاں کا ماحول، ٹریننگ کا طریقہ کار اور دیگر امور جو زیر تربیت افسران کو بتائے جارہے ہیں یقیناً ان کی پیشہ وارانہ اِستعداد بڑھانے میں مفید ثابت ہونگے جس سے مخلوقِ خدا کیلئےخدمات کی بہم رسانی میں بہتری ممکن ہوسکے گی۔ یہاں ایک بات کا تذکرہ کروں تو مناسب ہوگاکہ اس ادارہ کو قائم کرنے کا کریڈٹ سابق چیف سیکرٹری آزاد حکومت ریاست جموں و کشمیر ارباب شہزاد صاحب کو جاتا ہے ۔ یہاں کی مینجمنٹ اور فیکلٹی بہترین ہے اور ڈائریکٹر جنرل صاحب مبارک باد کے مستحق ہیں۔

مُجھے کشمیر انسٹیٹیوٹ آف مینجمنٹ میں آنے پر بہت خُوشی ہوئی ہے۔ میں مُتعدد بار یہاں آچکا ہوں۔ آج اِس تربیتی ادارے میں سینئر افسران کی ٹریننگ ورکشاپ میں بطور مہمانِ خصوصی شرکت کر کے بہت خُوشی ہوئی جسمیں پاکستان اور بیرون پاکستان سے افسران شریک ہیں ۔ کشمیرانسٹیٹیوٹ آف مینجمنٹ نے بہت کم وقت میں ایک اعلیٰ مقام حاصل کیا ہے جس کی جتنی بھی تعریف کی جائے کم ہے ۔ میری خواہش ہے کہ کشمیر انسٹیٹیوٹ آف مینجمنٹ میں تمام مکاتبِ فِکر کے افراد کو تربیتی کورسز پر بُلایا جائے۔ سابقہ ڈائریکٹر جنرل صاحب کی کاکردگی بھی اچھی رھی لیکن موجودہ ڈائریکٹرجنرل بریگیڈئیر (ریٹائرڈ) سید اختر حسین شاہ صاحب بہترین انتظامی صلاحیتوں کے مالک ہیں ڈائریکٹر جنرل صاحب جس انداز میں کشمیر انسٹیٹیوٹ آف مینجمنٹ کو چلارہے ہیں مجھے یقین ہے کہ بہت جلد یہ ادارہ پاکستان بھر میں اس جیسے اداروں میں پہلے نمبر پر ہوگا۔ میری دعائیں ادارہ ہذا کے ساتھ ہیں۔

Being at KIM is very heartening and refreshing. Nevertheless this nascent institution is still struggling to its feet. In parallel to the excellent physical environment and very good upkeep of the institute quality human resource is still deficit. DG is doing a superb job but he needs more support by way of placement of professionally competent and experienced staff immediately lest it might degenerate into yet another organization where unprofessional and irrelevant staff keen to stay in the capital could be dumped.
I wish the DG well and assure him of full support during my incumbency as a Chief Secretary.

This was my 1st visit of KIM director General, Secretary Services and other staff was present. Director General, KIM gave a detailed briefing about the working of the Institute. He during his briefing pointed out some issues concerning shortage of staff, financial constraints and accommodation in the Institution.
The class rooms, living rooms, library and computer lab also a joint and discussion hall were visited and found in very good condition. A committee comprising of Secretary Finance, secretary Services and Director General, KIM has been constitute to work out the detail of the requirements of the Institute which shall be placed in next meeting of BoG which is likely to be held in May. Institutions play an important role in Government & development of skills of the Administrative machinery serving the country or state.
I wish a great success to the faculty of the Institute and hope that it will go a long way in serving the purpose.

The Kashmir Institute of Management is an esteemed institution of learning skills headed by a high calibred personality like one the Director General Brig. Syed Akhtar Hussain Shah. It was an honour for me to attend the closing Ceremony of Second Professional Development Course. All the arrangements were excellently up to the mark.

A sense of Nostalgia paraded when I entered my old Alma-mater. I spent almost three years here at KIM, and believe in me, they were the days I cherished and enjoyed the most. I still and will consider myself part of this august institution.
I will be failing in my duties, if I don’t mention the excellent job the present DG Brig. Akhtar Hussain Shah Sahib (Retd.) is performing and of course Mr. Abrar – C.I is and will remain a beacon light for me in days to follow.

An establishment beyond any comparison of the similar Institute. I have visited almost all the top Management Institutes in Pakistan but have never seen progress of this nature. This is my third annual visit and here what I have observed about the morale of the trainees and commitment of the DG, CI and DS obliges me to say that if the rest of the management Institutes in the country follow KIM’s example then the dream of good governance will come true soon than later. I am proud to be associated with KIM. Wish them well and Godspeed.
Well done.

An honour to be here in Kashmir and in particular at KIM Muzaffarabad. Development of Agriculture and Livestock/Fisheries is my dream. Ever I imagine, we can think of conducive environment for agriculture, in Kashmir, all is available. Only concentration is needed for implementation of any policy in export orientated agriculture, livestock and aquaculture production.
Any practical help from myself, if required, “I am ready to provide and help”. KIM can do it. I am honoured again, being here. Thank you very much for the fabulous hospitality always extended to me.

On my behalf and on behalf of the Principal & Faculty of the Government Engineering Academy Punjab (GEAP), I extend thanks to KIM for hosting this visit and for future cooperation.

The hospitality of KIM is unexpected and satisfying. I must pay my thanks to Brig. Syed Akhtar Hussain Sahib, Abrar Ahmed Sahib and Tariq Mahmood Butt Sahib for their support and love. May Allah bless them all and give them strength to take KIM to the next level.

My first step into this august institution stirred my mind about a sense of high discipline, hospitality and peace at the premises. The warm welcome to the batch of 58 officers from Civil Service of Baluchistan, their treatment and care subsequently supplemented my raw view. When a formal presentation was given to us, I found that this institution is doing stupendous job for not only enhancing the capabilities of service men in AJK and Gilgit Baltistan that also works as Think Tank for this state Government. The dedication of the Director General, who is holding seven master degrees from illustrious institutions. The Chief Instructor and other faculty have taken up the institution to the position second to none in the country. It was very heartening for me to see that officers, irrespective of their age; some in their late 50s, were busy in taking lessons in IT in the IT Lab at 2100 hours in the night. The degree of satisfaction of these trainees could be judged from the fact that they have donated photocopiers, stationery and furniture to the institution at the culmination of their training.
I see that in future the institution will be instrumental in changing the posture of the administration setup in AJ&K which was otherwise lagging behind till recent past. My prayers and best wishes are for the faculty to be successful in their whole endeavors and planning for future of Kashmir.

Having visited other training institutes across Pakistan, I can safely say that KIM has so far been found best in terms of facilities it offers and the standard of its faculty. I am sure that this Institute will play its role in imparting the training of civil servants from across the departments and instill the right values that are critical in serving the public and state.
I wish the D.G and his team all the best in their future endeavors to make this Institute further grow and develop.

Training and personal development is an integral part for any organization with advancements in technology and new / refined knowledge resulting from research. It is imperative that the members of an organization keep themselves abreast with these advancements. KIM is our such as institute that aims at inculcating right kind of skills and attitude in field of management. It is an asset for AJ&K. It is optimally using its resources (which are limited) through multitasking of employees/ staff and using sound management practices.
KIM is accordingly a role model for other Public Sector Organizations to emulate its best practices.
Dr. Muhammad Usman Chachar
Chief Secretary,
Azad Govt. of Jammu & Kashmir
I have spent 03 days in KIM for final simulation presentations and Public Sector Management Workshop. Although I was already familiar with the quality operations being undertaken at KIM but this experience was really enriching as I was able to fathom the exuberance and high standard being followed at KIM. It is certainly acting as a center of excellence and an arch-pillar in shaping up the governance structure in AJK.
Present DG has really set standard bars very high. Quality of training being imported is superb.
It can very conveniently be called a premier organization of the State.
Best wishes.
