Diamond Prices In Pakistan
Important Tip: Before Buying A diamond please research on internet thoroughly, you must know the types and how they look.
G is a good color, normally people buy H- J so you'd have to pay more for G. Is it VVS1 (very very small defect numbering 1)? That makes it close to unblemished. There is no predetermined price for diamonds but a one carat diamond is around PKR 230,000-320,000 for that quality. A .75 should be between PKR92,000-138,000, add another PKR20,000 for gold band and making at max. But honestly speaking I am not sure for that size.
If you live in UAE there are many trustworthy sources for diamonds. trustworthiness is more important than price, as nowadays people are selling mezzonite as diamond.

Setting the Direction of a Business Requires
Social Responsibility (Photo credit: AlphachimpStudio)Setting the direction of a business requires defining three essential aspects:
- Values
- Mission Statement
- Vision
Values are principles which are very innate to an organization and only the company itself can identify and define it well. Values motivate the company to follow its mission statement and further to define its policies, procedures and daily operations.
Values of some local Pakistani companies are given below to help your company in defining its own values:
- KESC (Karachi Electric Supply Company)
- Thought Leadership
- Knowledge Based Learning
- Values
- Social Responsibility
- Lakson Tobacco Company Limited
- People
- Excellence
- Customer Focus
- Teamwork
- Openness
- Innovation
- Diversity
- Responsibility
- Nirala
- Continuous Improvement
- Innovation
- Integrity
- Teamwork
- Social Responsibility
- Telenor
- Make it Easy
- Keep Promises
- Be Inspiring
- Be Respectful
- Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)
- Customer Expectations
- Service
- Innovation
- Cohesiveness
- Integrity
- Reliability
- Safety
- Junaid Jamshed
- Products
- Customers
- Indigenous Cultural Values
- Quality
- Innovation
- Integrity
A mission statement is a very critical statement for an organization since it defines the framework structure upon which the company operates. It is a short documented statement and usually contains the purpose/ goal of the organization, its principal stakeholders, and the services and the products that the company is offering. It tells how a company is going to achieve its vision statement.
Some companies tend to not mention their services (as can be seen in the mission statement of PTC below) so as not to restrict their operations and to expand to other areas if possible:
- Pakistan Tobacco Company
"Transform PTC to perform with the speed, flexibility and enterprising spirit of innovative, consumer focused company"
- Haleeb Foods
"Build branded food business to improve quality of life by offering tasty, affordable and highly nutritional products to our consumers while maximizing stake holders' value"
A vision statement defines where the organization would ultimately like to see itself. The vision statement is for the company itself and should motivate the employees to put in every effort to achieve it. Hence it should be a worthy goal.
Here are a couple of vision statements. Compare the two and decide which one is better (although even the better one can substantially be improved)
- Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL)
"To be the leading Information and Communication Technology Service Provider in the region by achieving customer satisfaction and maximizing shareholders value. The future is unfolding around us. In times to come, we will be the link that allows global communication. We are striving mobilizing the world for the future. By becoming partners in innovation, we are ready to shape a future that offers telecom services that bring us closer"
- Dawlance
"We are commited. Above everything else, Dawlance places its top priority on the satisfaction of human being the satisfaction of its customers, partners and employees. All our policies and approach towards revolve around our corporate belief"

Sha’oor is a team of youngsters who are dedicated to bring
academic, social and moral awareness in the society. Explicitly, Sha’oor
is non political, non biased student organization which came about as
an idea in 2007 and was established as a student society at Air
University, Islamabad in 2008. The name “Sha’oor” ; literal meaning
awareness, has emerged through befitting scenario of human times, hence
after much consideration and regarding “Awareness” as a need of the
hour, the society was named as “Sha’oor The Society”
Owing to its promising manifesto and dedication of its team, Sha’oor became the largest society at the campus in a very short span of time. After one year, Sha’oor decided to extend its boundaries nationwide and now it has members from at least 20 different universities and colleges of Pakistan and abroad including A grade universities of UK and USA who are working efficiently and actively round the calendar and Sha’oor has managed many projects on regional and national level with their help.
The creation of Sha’oor and bringing it to the position where it stands today demanded tireless efforts, unconditional commitment, selfless devotion, endless vision, facing oppositions, meeting tremendous people and scenarios and what not. There were many who said, “Stop it, are you gone mad? Nobody would stand up with you to support you” but we stood by all, listening, tolerating, learning and advancing through it and today we are not just a student society but an active group of youth who is dedicated and motivated to bring up academic, social and moral change in the society and to work for the betterment of whole humanity with an un parallel vision and commitment.
