Subject: Inclusion of MASTERS M.PHIL/ PH.D DEGREES IN SOCIAL WORK, IN NADRA RECORD FOR CNIC PURPOSE.
Dear Sir
This Ministry is approached by some Professional Social Workers holding Masters. M.Phil & Ph.D Degrees in Social Work who are concerned over absence of “Social Work” from the list of professional degrees for CNICs requirement according to NADRA record. Asa result of this, thousands of professionals are being deprived of their right since they are missing in the record of national database. Moreover, due to this, accuracy of the database is also compromised which requires immediate attention.
2. It is pertinent to mention here that Masters, M.Phil & Ph.D in “Social Work” are HEC recognized degrees. In Pakistan, many leading universities including University of the Punjab, University of Karachi, University of Baluchistan. University of Peshawar. Federal Urdu University (Karachi) University of Sindh Jamshoro, Kohat University of Science & Technology, University of Sargodha, Islamic University Bahawalpur and some other institutions offs various level degrees in Social Work. Moreover. many, professionals with Social Work degrees are serving the nation in various Ministries/Departments, Institutions( Organizations. including this Ministry.
3. In view of the above, it is requested that Mamas, M.Phil & PhD Degrees in Social Work may kindly be included in the list of professional degrees in NADRA record, as per law. An early response, in this regard will be highly appreciated.
With best regards.
Yours Sincerely,
