The NEA has been actively advocating for reforms for the betterment of Engineers in the country. During the election campaign, Engr.

From reserving key positions for local engineers in engineering related organisations and projects issuing a technical stipend for engineers, the NEA has promised it all.
The Engineering community has high hopes from the newly elected chairman and management of PEC. Engineering Post congratulates Engr Najeeb Haroon and National Engineering Alliance on this victory and wish them the best of luck for the future.
