Balochistan Space Program
Dr Rabia Zafar is a first person who has initiated the Balochistan Space program at provincial
level in Balochistan. She has thoroughly pitched the proposal at National and provincial level.
With her efforts she was able to propose the program at provincial PSDP 2019. On 22nd March
2022, she has been awarded with the Balochistan Excellence award for her efforts to start space
program in Balochistan and Mines development
initiatives.
Success Stories Mines and Minerals work With a true spirit of Breaking Barriers for Women in Science and Engineering, Dr Rabia Zafar set a new trend of targeting development and growth sector in Balochistan. Dr Rabia Zafar is a pioneer in Pakistan for her work in unconventional field of Mines and Mineral Development in Balochistan. She has been working for the development of Mines and Minerals development including Mine health and safety, Mineral exploration/inventory and Smart
Mining.
Mock exercise session during training program on "Health and Safety of Coal Miners in Hazard-prone
Coal Mines of Balochistan" at Sanjadi Rescue Safety station, 2nd to 14th January 2019, Funded by
Australia Small Grant scheme 2018-2019
During training session on "Health and Safety of Coal Miners in Hazard-prone Coal Mines of Balochistan" Dr Rabia Zafar has visited a number of underground coal mines. She is the only female in Pakistan who went underground mine at the depth of 4 thousand feet. In this picture she is inside the Gillani Coal mine where she is monitoring the long narrow tunnel at an inclination of 55º. The narrow tunnel leads to the depth of more than 7 thousand feet underground from where the coal has been extracted and transported to the above ground. Besides mine roof collapse, leakage of different gases, and electric short circuit, the extensive deep underground coal mining is one of the most hazardous reasons of coal mine accidents. Underground coal mines in Balochistan are mainly without ventilation system and further very deep coal mining practices make it impossible for colliers to evacuate the mine in case of accident. Unfortunately in Balochistan, the underground mining has been extended at the depth of >8 thousand feet which has imposed a greater health risk to the labour. The training program recommendations also emphasised to put a limit on the extent of deep underground coal mining so that the protocols of occupational health and safety (OHS) can be followed.
