Vision
In many organizations all over the world despite the availability of more and more
powerful computers on everyone's desk and communication networks that span the globe,
large number of executives and decision makers can not get their hands on critical
information in time that already exists in organizations. This is classified as' data in jail'.
NADRA's objective is to go beyond the concept of 'data in jail'. For this purpose NADRA
has created National Data Warehouse, which is integrated and interfaced with each of the
databases other for optimum utilization by all users ensuring economy of effort and
resources. NADRA is aiming to bring in this culture and concept so as to meet the basic
requirement of IT Super Highway.
Vision Statement
NADRA, the authority, has been conceived as an instrument for implementation of
Government's Vision for the next millennium and to combat all evils of undocumented
population growth. The most comprehensive and statistical data will be available at the
National Data Warehouse. NADRA aims at including more or less every detail of every
Pakistani. The quality of data will be monitored through direct inputs from the user and
feeder agencies, and countrywide provincial, regional and District Offices. Thus, the
NADRA concept envisages availability of data including a Biographic Information Sheet
of every citizen and expatriate, encompassing all relevant social and fiscal indicators.
The diversity of data available within unified NADRA terminals would ensure smooth
planning and meaningful implementation of all governmental policies and projects,
leading to good governance, a cherished dream of every Pakistani.
User and Feeder Agencies

Sharing of National Data would be based on mutual interfacing, ensuring continuous
growth, expansion and updating of National Data Warehouse by inputs from user and
feeder agencies. Authorized government agencies, with access levels as ascertained by
laws, rules, and regulations, will have a link to the sophisticated database management
system at NADRA. Following are going to be the accredited users and feeders of Data
Warehouse of NADRA:
Federal & Provincial Government
Federal & Provincial Ministries
Election Commission of Pakistan
Private Agencies involved in Planning and Execution of Developmental Work
Central Board of Revenue
Excise and Taxation Department
Land Revenue Department
Autonomous / Semi-Autonomous Bodies like WAPDA, PTCL, etc.
Civil Forces
Armed Forces
Federal And Provincial Police

History
National Database Organisation (NDO) was established under Ministry of Interior as an
attached department to undertake the function of handling the data being collected
through National Data Forms during the Population Census 1998, which was conducted
from 2nd March 1998 to 18th March 1998. National Data Forms (NDFs) were designed
by a committee of experts encompassing maximum social and fiscal indicators as
implements for future planning, documentation of economy and for creation of a
comprehensive Citizens' Database. To cater for a cohesive and unified approach in both
Registration and Social fields NADRA was created on 10 March 2000 by merging the
National Database Organization (NDO) and Directorate General of Registration.
NADRA is an independent corporate body with requisite autonomy to remain free of
political pressure and interventions for all times to come.
Preamble
NADRA has been established with the objective of introducing a new, improved and
modernized registration system for the entire population and things of Pakistan (Refer to
NADRA Ordinance 2000 for details). Culminating among other things is the issuance of
state-of-the-art National Identity Cards (NICs) to all adult citizens of Pakistan. These
NICs shall be duly backed by the computerized database and data warehouse respectively
called the Citizens' Database and National Data Warehouse (NDW).
The concept was developed to help government in implementing a fact based system of
good governance in the country by encountering evils of undocumented population
growth and registration of items belonging to citizens and organizations. NADRA had
completed the creation of a comprehensive Citizens' Database by the new millennium
based on National Data Forms. An upgraded version of citizen's database is being
collected now-a-days with the help of National Form Application for issuance of new
computerized NICs.
NADRA Headquarters
NADRA is located in the State Bank Building, which constitutes history of being the
National Assembly building in the old days where in the historical Parliament Hall, the
1973 Constitution was discussed and approved by the Parliament. NADRA is working
with speed and efficiency to establish a countrywide data communication network for
linking central data warehouse with 5 Provincial Islamabad, Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar,
Quetta and 3 Regional Head Quarters located at Sukkur, Multan and Sargodha. The
quality of data will be regularly updated at Provincial and District Offices for use by the
authorized users and monitored through the direct inputs from the user and feeder
agencies. The data will be most comprehensive including statistical details of resource
and complete biographic details of every citizen.

Network Information Infrastructure

The NADRA Frame-Relay network infrastructure is made up of eight regional sites and
over a 100 smaller Swift Registration Centers (SRCs) which have dial-up connectivity to
their local Provincial headquarters.
The main backbone uses 256 Kbps DXX between all the sites in the design depicted in
Fig. 1. Each of the links is terminated on site at the Passport 6440 Frame-Relay Cloud
Generator. The Passport 6440 is a network consolidation switch which delivers a
powerful range of standards-based interfaces and services, high performance multi-
protocol routing and simultaneously supports voice, data, video and image traffic.
These devices provide Packet Switching at Layer2. The advantage of packet switching
lies in the ability of the technology for intelligent path determination based on factors like
link congestion, utilization, bandwidth and cost. End result is that data packets may
follow multiple paths to a single destination or in case of link failures an alternate path.
As well as using Frame-Relay as the basic frame work for a robust network, all of
NADRA’s PHQs incorporate Satellite technology for redundancy and back up links. So
all of NADRA’s main sites are connected via terrestrial as well as Satellite links for a
complete and un-beatable data communication solution. Fig 2 represents the data trunks
all over Pakistan.
Organizational Structure
The Nadra network department will go Commercial as 15th September 2002. The entire
department has been restructured to create a flexible, productive, commercially viable
and independent business entity. The aim of this realignment is to gain a return on the
original investment through commercial ventures which in turn will facilitate and finance
NADRA’s plans for expansions to over a 144 data and communication sites that span the
country as the largest network of its type.The network department falls directly under the
Chairman NADRA and is responsible for its own finances and business decisions.The
network team is made up of a number of technology specialists and engineers that are
presently manning all the various sites.
Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC)

NADRA is issuing new Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC’s) to all Pakistani
citizens.The CNIC is a comprehensive identification document that authenticates an
individual’s identity as a Pakistani citizen.The CNIC may serve as a proof of identity and
enables validated transactions being availed by various social or commercial services
across Pakistan.
The CNIC is integrated with the National Data Warehouse, enabling instant, online
electronic verification of an individual’s identity through the swipe-able VeriSys
system.The composite CNIC-Verisys system thus provides a new and an innovative
dimension to national security services.
Computerized National Identity cards are being issued to all adult citizens of Pakistan,
whereas, existing manual records of National Identity Cards (NIC’s) has been switched
over to the computerized database.
Security Features
The Computerized National Identity Cards (CNIC) include a sophisticated array of

security features to safeguard any probable forgery. The CNIC contains machine-
readable information, although certain characters may be visible to the naked eye, others
must be verified through the use of optical aids. The special characteristics of the CNIC
will protect and ensure integrity, authenticity, and sophistication.
NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD FOR OVERSEAS PAKISTANI

(NICOP)
Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to Pakistani

workers/emigrants and citizens /resident abroad and Pakistanis holding dual nationality
who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This card is known as
the National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP). On account of its utility, it is
an identification document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However NICOP
is more than just an identification document.
Name, Color and Design of NICOP
The NICOP have the same design and color as the CNIC card issued in Urdu, but with
minor differences, bear a MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) code at the back of the card,
which is readable by a machine. National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP)
carry a printed statement in English to the effect that applicant is entitled to Visa free
entry in to Pakistan.
BENEFITS TO NICOP CARD HOLDERS
(1) Without prejudice to any other rights, benefits, privileges or capacities enjoyed by or
available to a non-resident citizen who simultaneously holds the nationality or citizenship
of any other country or state together with his Pakistani citizenship, such non-resident
citizen shall, upon issuance of the card to him and during the period of validity of his said
card, have the right to enter into Pakistan without a visa from such port or place, by such
route and in accordance with such conditions, if any, as are prescribed pursuant to the
Passport Act, 1974 (XX of 1974).
(2) A card validly issued to a non-resident citizen shall be the conclusive proof of his
being a citizen of Pakistan for the purposes of availing protection of the Government of
Pakistan in any foreign country or state as a Pakistani citizen. The Federal Government
shall recognize, afford and ensure full protection as citizens of Pakistan available under
the law to all cardholders abroad.
Fee of NICOP
The Fee of National Identity Card for Overseas Pakistanis (NICOP) is US $ 15 and its
validity for 10 years
PAKISTAN ORIGIN CARD (POC)
A person shall be an eligible foreigner of Pakistan origin or eligible for Pakistan Origin
Card if he is a foreigner; and he had been a citizen of Pakistan at any time during his life.
Among other cards, NADRA Ordinance envisages issuance of cards to foreigners of

Pakistani origin who have got themselves registered under the NADRA Ordinance. This
card is called the Pakistan Origin Card. On account of its utility, it is an identification
document usable in place of NIC whenever required. However POC is more than just an
identification document.
Name, Color and Design of POC
The POC have the same design as the NICOP, but bears blue color. It has an MRZ
(Machine Readable Zone) code at the back of the card, which is machine readable. A
POC holder is entitled to Visa free entry in Pakistan. The POC number (printed on the
face of the card) has a similar format as the CNIC number, but is of a different series. It is
not the same as the CNIC number printed on the NICOP card.
Children Registration Certificate

Child registration is the fundamental right that every country should provide to the
children of its citizens. The right of name and nationality is ensured in Article 7 of the
United Nation Convention on the Rights of the Child, where Pakistan was a signatory. It
states that:
“The child shall be registered immediately after birth and shall have the right to
acquire a nationality, and as far as possible, the right to know and be cared for by
his or her parents”
Children registration is essential not only for their identity but also for governments for
their social services’ planning. It ensures the availability of health and educational
facilities to the children. Registration is a proof that is needed for a number of services
and it recognizes the child as a citizen of a country with rights to be cared for. Despite of
all the policies and legislations for birth registration, Pakistan has not been able to
achieve the targets and many children in Pakistan are still deprived of this fundamental
right.
NADRA is planning to take on the initiative of issuing Children Registration Certificate

for every Pakistani child less than 18 years of age. The certificate includes the
information about minors’ name & registration number, parents’ name and CNIC
(Computerized National Identity Card) numbers, date of birth, place of birth and gender.
Children will be allotted same registration number when he/she applies for CNIC on
attaining 18 years of age. It is the responsibility of every Child’s parents/guardian to
register their children who are less than 18 years of age. Application for CRC will be
received from NADRA Swift Registration Centers
Driving License
The prevailing turmoil and security concerns in the world demand hi-tech identification
and verification systems that would allow authorities to be constantly vigilant, thus
preventing crimes. NADRA recognizes its responsibility in doing whatever is possible to
ensure safety through the use of secure documents, to enhance public safety, hence
contributing to national security.
To cater to the need, both for homeland security and constant vigilance, NADRA has
developed an RFID-based driver license that bears the license holders personal
information and stores data regarding traffic violations, tickets issued, and outstanding
penalties. The data is stored in two halves in the chip. One half is brunt electronically, so
it cannot be changed or modified. This half contains the personal information of the
license holder. The second half is the re-writable part, where the history of violations is
recorded. The policemen/law enforcement agencies then transfer the data from their PDA
to the Central Server through a special key for data security. This installation of RFID
chips, makes it harder to counterfeit or steal driving licenses. These RFID tags thus foil
identity theft and prevent criminals from using false documents.
The license cards are designed so that driving rights are revoked electronically in case of
any offence or traffic violation. The system tracks all movement of users of RFID drivers'
licenses, while a comprehensive data of violations is stored electronically at the same
time. Any outstanding penalties are payable at electronic payment kiosks, while
comprehensive data of past violations and outstanding penalties is available to the
authorities.
Online Bill Payment

Building on the existing technologies of Biometric Identification and Online Verification,
NADRA has developed automated kiosks for various day-to-day transactions involving
the banking as well as the service sector.
The Online Payment Kiosk is designed to enable utility bills payments as well as perform
electronic banking after proper authentication from biometric and online verification
systems using the computerized national identity cards.
This Kiosk offers a convenient, low-cost alternative to bill payments and other financial
transactions without compromising customer convenience. These kiosks can be installed
at public places and are connected to NADRA's National Data Warehouse through secure
internet connections. High level encryption ensures protection of an individual's data
being transmitted to the warehouse for verification.
Additional Benefits
• Offers online banking and other services reducing teller lines and labor costs.
• User-friendly touch-screen increases throughput and speeds-up transaction time.
• Kiosks installed at offsite/remote locations offer convenience and more timely
payments.
• Selection of English and Urdu options empowers a wide-range of customers to
use the kiosk easily.
• Security algorithms ensure safety in each online transaction.
Return on Investment
• Electronic input reduces mistakes and errors.

• These Kiosks reduce the overall costs by lowering employee headcount.
• Additional incremental revenue through e-services.
Vehicle Identification and Tracking System (VITS)

• National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has developed a state-
of-the-art Vehicle Identification and Tracking System (VITS) based on leading
RFID technology.
• VITS is being introduced as a sophisticated and high-tech system to help
control vehicle related crimes including car thefts,
through centrally controlled tracker chip, fixed on
each vehicle, known as Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN). A unique Vehicle Identification
Number is assigned to all vehicles in Pakistan and issued the same on a secure
document to the applicant. The VIN tag contains vehicle information and
attributes (colour, engine no., chassis no. etc), and endorsement, to be accessible
to law and order agencies through online access. This access can be provided
through existing communication networks in mobile and field environments. Data
on the vehicle owner registration document will be stored using a robust
encryption algorithm to prevent tampering.
•
• VITS gates shall be strategically located and vehicle crossing these designated
points shall be recorded (vehicle data as well as photograph). The VITS gates are
equipped with cameras and with the day and night capability to photograph
vehicles with or without VIN Tags installed. Security personnel would be in a
better position to use handheld mobile units to retrieve all information for on-the-
spot review of vehicle records.
•
• This system would serve as an effective security/deterrence tool against car
snatching and other related criminal activities. The VIN would link NADRA’s
existing network and data warehouse infrastructure, which provides connectivity
and information access to all the provinces through one common database. It
would thus be mandatory for every vehicle to get VIN.
• Every police checkpoint in the country, all major bridges and entry/exit point of
cities/towns would be equipped with scanners and antennas to read the details of
every car/vehicle.
•
• The vehicles allotted VIN would be automatically identified, photographed, and

checked while those without VIN be monitored at the same time.
• VITS project is being piloted in Islamabad. It will be then rolled out to other parts
of the country.

Hints Tips
To help you, here are some hints and tips to refer to when applying for any vacancy.
DO:
•
• Read the job advertisement very carefully before applying particularly the
section outlining required skills and experience.
• Make sure that you definitely meet all of the minimum criteria required for
the job – otherwise it may be a mere waste of time.
• Keep to the point, focusing on the quality of your achievements, not the
quantity.
• Concentrate on your achievements and what you have learnt; this
enhances your responsibility list. Use real examples which prove that you
can do what you say you can (e.g; products launched, sales achieved,
teams managed, etc).
• Achievements should be short, bullet pointed statements which include
your role, the action you took and the result of your action.
• Check thoroughly for correct spelling and grammar (but not only with a
spell checker); if helpful why not get a second opinion?
• Prove that you have done your homework and are motivated (use the
web, listen to/ watch relevant output and/or research your area, read any
relevant press etc).
• Be honest and factual.
DON’T:
• Apply if you do not meet the required level of skill and experience sought.
• List all the one-day training courses you have ever been on, unless any of
them are relevant to the job.
• Use elaborate fonts or colors – keep it simple.
• Forget that a good application is just a tool to get you an interview – it will
not get you the job alone, the rest is down to you.
• Write too much – be as concise and relevant as you can.
• Include a separate CV unless you have been asked to do so.
• Use jargon or complicated language – ‘Simple Is Best’.
• Send examples of your work or qualifications to support your application,
unless asked for.
Preparing for Your First Interview
We are aware how uncomfortable interviewing can be, especially when someone
is going into details about your resume or application. Try to relax and you will do
just fine.
Since we are trying to get to know you better, we will need your help, so be sure
to express your strengths and skills clearly. You will also want to explain the
areas you feel you need to develop - do not be afraid to share with us. We can
provide you with extensive training once you join us, so if you have got a soft
area or two, we can help strengthen your expertise in those areas.
Get yourself rest! This is very important, even in first interviews that are typically
short. In a second interview round, if required, you will definitely want to arrive
relaxed, because you may have to discuss in details with the interviewing body.
The Interview
• Listen well. Pay attention to the questions asked, and make sure you give
concise answers.
• Be honest! Nobody's going to ask you if you have 20 years of experience.
• We know you are just graduating. Simply emphasize your strengths for
our benefit.
• Be direct. If you do not understand a question, ask to have it repeated.
• It always makes a difference when you come across as confident and
comfortable.
The Interview Process?
We have a panel of interviewers, relavant to the nature of the post. A senior

member of the directorate along with the managers and HR staff might be
present.
Advice
You might be surprised to learn that as many as 75% of candidates perform

poorly at interviews. In most cases, it comes down to them not having the
necessary interview skills rather than them being unsuitable for the job. So if you
find interviews a daunting prospect, the following advice should come in quite
handy.
Pre-interview Preparation
The first step towards any successful interview is the preparation.
• Research the department and its programming - this will improve your
presentation and ensure that you sound confident, organized, and
motivated. The interviewers will be impressed by your knowledge and the
effort you have put into your preparation.
• Know the name of the people who will be on the interview panel.
• Be sure you know how to get to your interview, and leave plenty of time in
which to do it.
• Read the job advertisement or web posting thoroughly and carefully. Be

clear about how you meet the criteria asked for, especially when it comes
to responsibilities you have had and any other abilities that make you a
particularly good candidate.
• Study the job description, which outlines in detail the content and duties of
the job and the qualities expected of the successful applicant.
The Interview
Try not to be late, allow yourself plenty of time in case you may not get lost. First
impressions count, so dress appropriately.
• Be polite.
• Try to stay focused on the person asking the questions – give them your
full attention.
• Sound positive about yourself and your achievements.
• Don’t be negative about your previous employer.
• Give yourself time to think – don’t be afraid to pause if you need to think
about your answer.
• Be clear and brief in your communication – try not to ramble.
• Always be prepared to give real life examples to support any of your
claims.
• Ask the interviewer for clarification if you’re not sure what s/he is asks for.
• Focus on your strengths.
• Avoid jargon.
• Don’t under-estimate your skills and abilities.
• If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so. There is nothing wrong
with being honest. Always come prepared with questions of your own to
ask at the end of the interview. For example you may wish to know about
the working environment, whether you will be working alone or as part of a
larger team, what the prospects for training and promotion are etc. All this
shows that you have given the role some serious thought and are
genuinely interested.

In ergonomics we primarily address to issues
I- Safety
2- Comfort of the workers
In safety we primarily to issues the design of the budding which has resistance against
natural plenty such as earthquake etc. in the machine design which insure safety of the
worker from electric shoot or any other physical damage to the worker.
Second issue is in case of my unfortunate accident the building design should help the
rescue worker to evacuate the building in case of any unfortunate accident it should be
easier to shut down the machine without affecting the work of the entire factor. And if
hand or any other body part stuck in the machine it should be easier to release it as for as
NADRA is concern the building does not provide safety to the workers building is not
ergonomically design which is quite understandable because building is not a planed
construction NADRA is start its proceedings from a small hall and with the passage of
time and with the growth of the company the new construction takes place. The building
is not fire and earthquake resistance and evacuation is also not easy. However, the
machinery which is used in NADRA is imported and ergonomically design and it insure
the safety of the worker.
The company also hire a mechanically engineer who insure that machine should work
properly the company also hire foreman, electrician this work force insure proper
maintenance of machinery. As for as training of the work force is concern it is quite up to
the mark the people working in NADRA got the adequate skills the management of the
NADRA give importance of the worker in every department the standard operating
procedures (SOP's) is written on walls.
