Context

Government Graduate College for Women in Raiwind is part of Punjab’s provincial education system, serving more than 1,500 female students. Like many public colleges, it relied on manual, paper-based systems for timetabling, attendance, and workload allocation processes that slowed decision-making and created systemic inefficiencies.

Why This Project Was Different

Unlike private schools that enjoy greater flexibility, public colleges face:

• Rigid budget approvals that leave little room for experimentation.
• High accountability to government auditors.
• Low IT literacy among staff, making technology adoption especially difficult.

This meant any digital solution had to deliver measurable efficiency quickly while staying affordable and simple.

Intervention Led by Mr. Ahsan Sharif from LucrumAI

As VP Strategy & Business Development at LucrumAi, Ahsan Sharif personally guided the adoption of the Unified Education Management System (UEMS) for the college. His approach was not just technical deployment but policy-sensitive change management:

• Negotiated with the institution to align the platform with provincial compliance rules.
• Configured AI-powered dashboards that flagged early student risks, ensuring leadership could act within government reporting cycles.
• Introduced a workload tracker that provided transparency for departmental audits.
• Delivered staff workshops in plain language, ensuring adoption in under a month despite minimal IT familiarity.

Impact

The UEMS deployment produced results recognised beyond the college itself:

• Operational efficiency: timetable creation cut from several days to just hours.
• Accuracy: attendance records reached 98% reliability.
• Governance: departmental reporting that took over a week was reduced to same- day turnaround, streamlining oversight.
• Student outcomes: retention rates improved, demonstrating the educational impact of earlier interventions.
• Cost management: Operational savings approx. PKR 200,000 annually.

Recognition at System Level

This deployment became a reference model across Punjab’s women’s colleges, demonstrating how a government-funded institution could achieve digital transformation under strict financial and bureaucratic limits. Inter-departmental communications highlighted the project as evidence that scalable SaaS tools like UEMS can modernise public- sector education without costly IT overhauls.

Why It Matters for the Sector

This project shows that digital transformation is not limited to elite or private institutions. By demonstrating measurable gains in a resource-constrained, heavily regulated environment, AI-driven education management can scale across Pakistan’s public college network, directly influencing how provincial institutions plan their digital futures.
