"We hope to have a Craftsmen’s Colony which will serve as a model and an inspiration for a more desirable standard of individual and community living. This is our aim and not the mere substitution of one slum area for another for we can never truly build a strong free Pakistan on the shifting sands of social, economic and cultural discontent, depravation and despair."
