Following is excerpts from the
Preliminary Feasibility Report:
Risk Factors
Political Risks The new Nation shall have its share of Political confusion &
uncertainty during the initial days that would affect the setting up, rising of
funds to set the Institute, recruiting of competent faculty & employees,
students, etc. This uncertainty may also make it difficult to find the right
partners & collaborators for the
Institute.
Financial Uncertainty The Freedom Fighters for the Independent Kurdistan might
find it difficult to raise the necessary funds to set up the Institute, and
hence recruit competent faculty and offer them sufficiently acceptable
remuneration. Difficulty in raising sufficient funds may also hamper the
development of the Institute and the timely completion of the campus, acquiring
sufficient facilities/equipments, etc.
|
The above issues are general in
nature and are common to all such Projects. However, the founders this
Institute shall take sufficient care & contingencies to address the above
risks. |
The Financial Note:
The Institute shall be developed in phases. Below is the
estimated Expenditure, Revenue & Sources of Revenue for the first 10 years
period (net/cumulative)
