for the entire duration. A hall equipped with air-conditioning and other
necessary facilities, next to the library, was selected for holding of the
classes. As envisaged, subject specialists from as far as Lahore and
Islamabad were invited to deliver lectures. Similarly, retired and serving
officers also joined in as guest speakers. Help and assistance was also sought
from the leading training academies of Lahore. As a result, not only teachers
and subject specialists came from such academies but also course contents
and preparatory material was obtained from them. Mock exams were held
towards the conclusion of the course to sharpen the skills of the participants
and assess their level of preparation. Finally, a committee under the
chairmanship of Deputy Commissioner was notified to ensure that the
courses were held regularly and smoothly in future too.

It was hoped that if not the first generation, second generation of participants
of the course, would be able to qualify the exams themselves or inspire their
friends and family members to do so. The sons and daughter of Muzaffargarh
would thereby get a chance to serve their country as well as their city in
meaningful positions.
