Conference Organization
The European Conference on Modern South Asian Studies (ECMSAS) is held every two
years. The last conference was held in June 2006 in Leiden and upcoming conference
details can be seen at

http://www.arts.manchester.ac.uk/ecmsas/conferenceorganisation/

During the July 2008 Conference, one of the panels will be organized and headed by
Professor Dr. Azhar Mansur Khan who is an adjunct faculty member at ESC School of
Management Sciences Lille France and a faculty member at CASE (Center for Advanced
Studies in Engineering) . Limited funding for paper presenters will also be available.
Panel Details are appended below:
Panel In-charge: Professor Dr. Azhar Mansur Khan PhD(USA), PE, PMP

Panel Title: Management of Development Projects in South Asian Countries
Details: Projects are the building blocks of any investment or development plan. Many
South Asian countries development has been impeded by the enormous expenditure
incurred on the failed projects. Projects cover both social sector as well as
infrastructure sectors. There are countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri
Lanka, which could offset their external loans, had they not wasted resources on failed
projects. Many South Asian countries had been borrowing resources to undertake
development projects and instead of developing they would lag behind and go further
under the debt. Therefore the aspect of better project management, involvement of
communities and transparency has been an important factor in the development of
South Asian countries.
This will indeed be an excellent topic for a panel and will attract several very interesting
papers, discussions and novel ideas from the presenters as well as the audience.

abstracts to Dr. Azhar Mansur Khan on the email addresses mentioned above by 31st
