We address matters regularly to move our work forward within our short and long-term plans. The purpose is to change and improve the professional image of ICPWE. Some of these provisions are under consideration, while others are being processed.
Update the Webpage as an evolving document (done for 2023-2024 yet evolving).
Rearrange the resources and focus on their gradual digitization (in progress).
Secure issuance of (selected and relevant) resources to the interested (faculty, researchers or others) for academic purposes (currently, limited application).
Secure ICPWE’s image building at international/ national levels through its Boards, and Committees. The Centre works in concordance with its Steering
Committee, National Advisory Committee, International Advisory Board, Volunteer Experts to interact through the Friends of ICPWE (Worldwide Alumni & Other
Associations/ Organizations) and expected collaborators and MOUs signatories (evolving per need).
Review and re-establish ICPWE working with embassies (particularly the English-speaking countries) and their associate offices (British Council, the USEFP, The
Canadian or Australian consulates etc.), who help us promote the usefulness of English in Pakistan (evolving per need).
Promote the current trends in creative writing in English through Webinars and Workshops or Roundups under the general title of Discursus, which allows a
more logical and organized reasoning as compared to mere discussion or discursion that may grow digressive). The format of Discursus can be open to various
layouts, like book launches, panels, symposia, seminars, colloquia, conferences, bilingual chats or baithak, poetry recitation or mushaira, meetups, conversations,
point of view with a “nuqta-e-nazar,” critical viewpoint or “nuqta-e-tanqeed,” etc. The purpose is to involve teachers and students (of English literature) to make
them realize the “power of pen,” learn creative writing skills, and foreground their hidden talent. (evolving).
Develop coordination with local publishers and printers to enhance the promotion of quality academic work at ICPWE through its Newsletters /Reports, Magazine
/Journals, Translated or Retranslated works (establish a subsidiary Translation Cell), etc. (in progress, & evolving)
Introduce more incentives, rewards, awards, and prizes for the seasoned Pakistani writers writing in / for English (established authors as well as the new talent).
(Under consideration)
Make ICPWE self-sustainable and hire new staff as and when required. (Under consideration)
