MTL Once Again Emerged as a Market Leader in the Year 2012-13
Mr. Sikandar Mustafa Khan, Chairman, Millat Group ofth Companies, hands over the keys of 32,000
Massey Ferguson Tractor of Millat to a farmer
Millat Tractors Limited once again emerged as a market leader by achieving market share of 64% in 2012-13. The company
sold 32,032 tractors during the fiscal year and maintained its last year sales volume and market share.
At the end of fiscal year 2012-13, a ceremony was organized on June 30, 2013 during which Mr. Sikandar Mustafa Khan, thChairman Millat Group and Mr. SM Irfan Aqueel, CEO, MTL, handed over the keys of 32,000 tractor to a farmer.
Addressing the audience, Mr. Sikandar Mustafa Khan said that it is worth mentioning that the sales volume of 32032 was
achieved at a time when the country's socio-economic conditions were not feasible which particularly affected the sales of
tractors. Moreover, the General Sales Tax increased from 5% to 10% in January 2013 which affected the sales
adversely. The banks had also markedly reduced tractor loaning facility to the farmers, he added.

7 Cs of Success
Saum (fasting)-A Tool for Maximizing
Performance
Appearance of the “Ramadan moon” marks the beginning of
the season of hasanat (good deeds and bliss), that is,
Ramadan. It is one of the most blissful months of the year for
all Muslims around the globe. It is a month full of blessings
which promotes patience, compassion, harmony and
respect. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn till
sunset to attain the pleasure of Allah (SWT). It not only
builds compassion for the needy people but it is a pathway
to refining ourselves as better human beings by counting
our blessings. Crowded Masjids, unlike the other months of
the year, is a common site during the month of Ramadan
which reflects the willingness of Muslims to build their
connection with their Creator through offering Salaat and
reciting Quran.
The busy routine of the Muslims during this month trains
them both spiritually and physically. Praying five times
during the day, Qiyam at night, then rising up early for
Suhoor (a meal before daybreak) and then carrying out the
tasks for the day such as office work and household chores
is what keeps one super busy for the day. The training is
good enough to suffice Muslims for the rest of the eleven
months. Since Muslims move as a community, they get
inspiration from one another that leads to a healthy culture.
The best part is that everyone tries to perform up to their
level best and the sole objective remains common which is
to please Allah.
If we ponder over the teachings of Quran and Sunnah, the
singular aim appears to be the training of the individuals in
the light of ethics, morals and spirituality for the greater good
of the entire society. The beauty is that Muslims, irrespective
of their differing literacy levels, know the basic “do's and
don'ts” of behaviors and attitudes. Saum (fasting) is the best
tool to keep us alert to avoid the don'ts and observe the do's
which even leads to the internal satisfaction of the
individuals.
Moreover, our belief tells us that struggle for Rizk-e-Halal
(right means of earning livelihood) is Abadat (worship) in
itself. Therefore, if we take our job at MTL in the light of our
belief, we can successfully achieve not only our
organizational objectives but also perform Abadat at the
same time. It is the sense of accountability to Allah that
keeps one away from eating and drinking during the fast.
This is the spirit that our religion inculcates into us. Adhering
to this spirit of Allah's watchfulness leads us to do honest
hard work at workplace and to be loyal to our
employer/organization.
Let's get the inspiration from Ramadan to guide us in our
walks of life. It includes commitment to hard work and
integrity which shall be the roots of our corporate culture and
environment where we try to encourage and help one
another. Learning from Ramadan, if we try to attain
commitment, integrity and consistency at workplace then it
can rightfully be claimed that “Saum (fast) is the best tool to
maximize performance”.

11 Proven Ways to Gain UnstoppableConfidence
9 - Compose Yourself Dress well, groom yourself,
compose your identity as a person who is well put
together, and you will feel confident when meeting new
people and doing new things.
10 - Be Decisive While it is okay to take time to analyze
and think situations through, the time comes when you
must be decisive and act. Decisive people are confident;
not confident people are decisive.
11- Be Complete Know yourself fully, wash away your
own doubts about yourself, your identity and your
capabilities, and present every aspect of yourself in every
situation and you will have no reason to doubt your
confidence. Become your full, real self.
A group of 10 instructors of TEVTA, Punjab were given
training on 3.1524, T3.1524 and 4.41 engines at MTL
Training School by Marketing Division. The duration of the
course was one week.
At the successful completion of the course, Mr. Muhammad
Akram, General Manager- Mktg. handed over the
certificates to the participants.
Mr. Akram while addressing the participants highlighted the
role of MTL in the development of farm mechanization of the
country.
He emphasized the importance of using special tools in
order to increase accuracy and efficiency. He appreciated
the group for their active participation. He hoped the training
would be helpful in the professional life of the participants.
Training Program Of TEVTA At MTL
Mr. Muhammad Akram, GM (Marketing) handing over certificateto the Instructor of TEVTA.
1 - Knowledge Is Power Those who know are
ultimately much more confident in any arena than those
shrouded in ignorance. Use your spare time to read up on
the things that interest you, on the things that you are
curious about, and build up a solid base of knowledge and
critical thinking. The more you know, the more sure of
yourself you will be in any situation.
2 - Experience Uncertainty is the biggest drain on
your self-confidence. Succumbing to doubt ensures you
will never believe in yourself. The more often you do
something, the more certain you become. With certainty
comes confidence.
3 - Care-Free Attitude Try to walk through your day
with as easy and care-free attitude because someone who
is at ease with him or herself is someone who is confident.
Build unstoppable confidence by not getting hung up on the
petty issues and minor irritations that help wear you down.
4 - Honest Self-Assessment Take stock of yourself.
Brainstorm for a bit and compose a list of your good
qualities and bad, the things you excel at and the things
you need to improve upon. Once you have a clear
picture of yourself much of the uncertainty that breeds
doubt will wash away.
5 - Analyze Your confidence will grow when you take time
to properly think through every problem.
6 - Be Thorough Try to be as complete and thorough
at every task you attempt. Completing tasks builds
confidence in your ability to always see projects through
to their proper conclusion.
7 - Identify Your Limits, And Exceed ThemOnce you have assessed yourself, make a list of goals
you wish to accomplish, and get to work. You now know
your true limits, so the only thing left to do is push beyond
them and set your sights on new frontiers.
8 - Be Open To Helping Others Don't close
yourself off to friends, acquaintances and coworkers. The
more you put yourself out there in business and social
situations, the more quickly you will build confidence in
your ability to navigate these sometimes tricky waters.

Environment, Health and Safety inan Organization
Development Of Electronic Library
Environmental quality is a set of properties and
characteristics of the environment, either generalized or
local, as they impinge on human beings and other
organisms. It is a measure of the condition of an
environment relative to the requirements of one or more
species and or to any human need or purpose. Companies
must consider environmental protection, occupational
health and safety at work as important as providing quality
products usually have managers and departments
responsible for these issues. Environmental, Health and
Safety management has two general objectives:
prevention of incidents or accidents that might result from
abnormal operating conditions on the one hand and
reduction of adverse effects that result from normal
operating conditions on the other hand. Also must action be
taken to reduce a company's environmental impact under
normal operating conditions (like reducing the company's
carbon footprint) and to prevent workers from developing
work related diseases. Regulatory requirements play an
important role in both approaches and consequently, EHS
managers must identify and understand relevant EHS
regulations, the implications of which must be
communicated to top management (the board of directors)
so the company can implement suitable measures. The
general approach to EHS management as per international
standards ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 is based on the
methodology called "Plan-Do-Check-Act" (PDCA). PDCA
in the EHS context can briefly be described as follows,-
Plan, document the organization's overall EHS aims and
objectives in a policy statement, identify and register
environmental aspects and impacts and occupational
health and safety risks as well as regulatory requirements.-
Do, define EHS objectives and targets, implement suitable
strategic initiatives to deliver results in accordance with the
organization's EHS policy and legal requirements.-Check,
monitor and measure the results against policy, objectives,
targets and legal and other requirements.
Occupational safety and health can be important for moral,
legal, and financial reasons. All organizations have a duty
of care to ensure that employees and any other person who
may be affected by the companies undertaking remain safe
at all times it should be aim at: the promotion and
maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and
social well-being of workers in all occupations; the
prevention amongst workers of departures from health
caused by their working conditions; the protection of
workers in their employment from risks resulting from
factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of
the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his
physiological and psychological capabilities; and, to
summarize, the adaptation of work to man and of each man
to his job
The Human Resource Department is intensively focusing
on creating learning culture at MTL through developing and
sharing knowledge. That is the one way to develop a
knowledgeable employee. The creation and sharing of
information / knowledge results in improved performance,
competitive advantage or high levels of innovation.
Therefore, in order to make MTL, a learning organization,
HRD has created Electronic – library. Numerous valuable
and highly informative books and articles are available.
With the technical collaboration of IT department, an
independent local web portal has been developed.
No internet connection is required to access the portal. By
typing the following path http://192.168.10.73/el at any
internet explorer, anyone can enjoy downloading and
reading books and articles of his / her interest. These books
and articles would be updated fortnightly by HR.

Tips to Reduce Stress and ImproveProductivity
We probably know that managing our time effectively will
help to perform more tasks. But it has important health
benefits, too. By managing our time more wisely, we can
minimize stress and improve our quality of life.
To get started, choose one of these strategies, try it for two
to four weeks and see if it helps.
Time management
“Effective time management is a primary means to a
less stressful life. These practices can help us to
reduce our stress and reclaim our personal life.”
Abdul Moeed Bin Tariq (AM-HRD)
Plan each day. Planning our day can help us accomplish
more and feel more in control of our life. Write a to-do
list, putting the most important tasks at the top. Keep a
schedule of our daily activities to minimize conflicts and
last-minute rushes.
Prioritize our tasks. Time-consuming but relatively
unimportant tasks can consume a lot of your day.
Prioritizing tasks will ensure that we spend our time and
energy on those that are truly important for us.
Say no to nonessential tasks. We should consider our
goals and schedule before agreeing to take on
additional work.
Delegate. Take a look at our to-do list and consider what
we can pass on to someone else.
Take the time. We need to do a quality job. Doing work
right the first time may take more time upfront, but errors
usually result in time spent making corrections, which
takes more time overall.
Break large time-consuming tasks into smaller tasks.
Work on them a few minutes at a time until get them
all done.
Practice the 10-minute rule. Work on a dreaded task
for 10 minutes each day. Once we get started, we may
find that we can finish it.
Evaluate how we are spending our time. Keep a diary
of everything we do for three days to determine how we
are spending our time. Look for time that can be used
more wisely. For example, could we take a bus or train to
work and use the commute to catch up on reading? If so,
we could free up some time to exercise or spend with
family or friends.
Limit distractions. Block out time on our calendar for
big projects. During that time, close our door and turn
off our phone and we should stop internet surfing.
Get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy diet and exercise
regularly. A healthy lifestyle can improve your focus
and concentration, which will help us to improve our
efficiency so that we can complete our work in less time.
Take a break when needed. Too much stress can
derail our attempts at getting organized. When we need
a break, take one. We should take a walk regularly.
Do some quick stretches at our workstation. We should
take a day of vacation to rest and re-energize.
