SDSB-LUMS Hosts 2nd Symposium on Battery Electric Vehicles in Pakistan
On May 7, 2024, the Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) at LUMS hosted the 2nd Symposium on Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in Pakistan. This event, held in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan, the World Bank, and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), focused on "Accelerating the Electric Mobility Transition in Pakistan."
The symposium gathered senior leaders, policymakers, industry experts, and key stakeholders to discuss the progress and challenges of electrifying transportation in Pakistan. Topics included the EV landscape in Pakistan, international experiences, best practices, and industry perspectives on demand, supply, charging, and financing. An exhibition showcased EV-related products and services.
On Friday, April 26, 2024, the Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) hosted the launch of "ہیں کواکب کچھ" authored by Dr. M. Ahsan Rana, an Associate Professor at SDSB. Dr. Rana, renowned for his expertise in social policy and governance, presented his latest work, which critically analyses welfare capitalism. The event was attended by a large number of faculty and students from SDSB and other schools, and people from outside LUMS.
The book examines the intricate relationship between welfare and capitalism. It argues that while welfare systems aim to address disparities within capitalist economies, they often strain state resources and have contributed to worldwide fiscal crises. Drawing on examples from the post-World War II era, Dr. Rana scrutinises the role of welfare states in perpetuating capitalist structures and investigates Pakistan's welfare regime's complexities.
