Description: This file contains a mix of administrative and financial documents from 1957–1958 related to two women’s vocational institutions in Karachi patronised by Miss Fatima Jinnah. It includes cash memos recording sales of handmade goods (frocks, tablecloths, pillowcases), letters about procuring eight Singer sewing machines with a government grant, a request to replace old machines, a furniture requisition, and a bank resolution authorising any two of three office‑bearers (including Miss Fatima Jinnah as Chairman) to operate the institute’s current account. The records illustrate the operational, financial, and procurement activities of post‑Partition women’s industrial homes and technical institutes. One page appears to be foreign language content unrelated to the file. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
