Fans: A Case of 'More Engg, More Prosperity' Prospering Sans Govt Support

History of Pakistan's fan industry, a sector of light engineering which makes Pakistanis proud, can be traced to 1930s in Gujranwala and Gujrat, metal working hubs of Punjab. Later some units were set up in Lahore and Karachi also. Point worth noting here is the fact that the industry flourished without any significant government or foreign support. Its existence and success is largely attributable to private initiative.
