The Backdrop of Zambia

Zambia a landlocked nation in Southern Africa, has been grappling with issues pertaining to its public health. In this developing nation, according to WHO, the frequent pandemics were a direct consequence of poor environmental sanitization. Nearly 80% of the public diseases were due to environmental hygiene being compromised- for example, food and water-borne diseases including cholera, dysentery and typhoid. Jaguar Overseas Limited under the leadership of Mr. Manas Agarwal became the solution provider of Zambia.

To remedy this situation, the Zambian government, initiated the Zambia Health Policy in 1992, that primarily focused on providing cost and quality effective healthcare to the rural population. The policy became operational in 1995 with the Health Service act.

Solution Provider

Jaguar Overseas Limited is a New Delhi headquartered firm specializing in project Exports, construction, engineering and supply projects that span globally. The ISO certified company promises to deliver upon exemplary international standards with utmost transparency.

In 2013, Jaguar Overseas Limited headed the $19.47 million USD project of constructing 208 health posts in Zambia and executed it flawlessly. However, there was a long way to go, for Zambia to mitigate the public health problems afflicting the nation…

KC Mulalelo, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Zambia Government, said, “Zambia is facing a healthcare crisis owing to poor environmental sanitation. There is a high prevalence of both communicable and non-communicable diseases. We are happy to once again partner with Jaguar Overseas to help us re-structure our healthcare facilities and work towards improving the overall health of the people of Zambia. The construction of new health posts will ensure timely medication and world-class healthcare infrastructure to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates in the country.”

JOL continued to then bag the second project of constructing 201 health posts in the North-Western, Northern, Muchinga and Luapula provinces of Zambia. The project was jointly funded by the Government of India and that of Zambia and was worth a total of $15.25 million USD.

As per the guidelines of the project, quality-driven health posts needed to be constructed and operational in rural regions with a distance of 50 km between every health post. With each unit being well equipped and inclusive of a staff quarter and a solar lighting system as well. The construction was ordained to be with concrete foundations; steel columns and structures and supplementing concrete wall panels. Thus creating accessible and economical medical aid provisions in all the 10 provinces in Zambia.

“We are excited to resume our operations in Zambia and are extremely thankful to both the Indian and Zambian governments for supporting this noble cause. This highly prestigious project is a clear ratification of the enthusiasm, dedication, professionalism, and quality of services that we bring on board to develop African nations. We are grateful to have got this opportunity second time, to offer our best services to the people of Zambia to serve and support the country’s affected healthcare sector. We truly believe that healthy people can effectively contribute to the process of empowering a nation, and it is our honor and privilege to be a part of this journey.” said a company executive whilst speaking about the initiation of the second project post the success of the first.

A majority of the healthcare facilities in Zambia are owned and managed by the public sector which is further augmented by private healthcare companies. A special mobile health service called Zambia’s Flying Doctors’ Service has also been activated to provide aid in remote locales.

Conclusion:

JOL endeavored to fulfill the mammoth task in record time, despite the multiple logistic and material supply challenges they faced in Zambia. They even won critical acclaim from officials high up in the Zambian government like Zambia’s High Commissioner to India, Her Excellency Judith Kapijimpanga, who congratulated them on the quality of the project delivered.

Jaguar Overseas Limited’s team under the expert and abled leadership of Mr. Manas Agarwal delivered excellence for the benefit of the Government and the people of Zambia. Hoping to improve the lives of millions.

Jaguar Overseas Ltd, three decades strong and just getting started

Jaguar Overseas Ltd, a Project Exports Company based in India, is commemorating 30 years of innovation and sustainable development in the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction industry. With a foothold in Africa and Asia, JOL has successfully completed projects in a variety of industries, including power, oil and gas, and agriculture, Renewables, and Civil Infrastructure.

 Since its humble beginnings in the 1990s, the company has continually developed with the changing ecosystem and kept up with technology improvements to become one of the premier Indian project export firms to make a global impression. Leading funding agencies have entrusted JOL with the execution of global development initiatives. This includes the USAID-funded building and operation of Afghanistan's first utility-scale solar power facility in Kandahar province, as well as an ADB-funded electrification project in Pul-e-Alam in Central Asia. It has also completed World Bank-funded projects in Benin, including rural electrification, and the end-to-end construction of a 132 KV transmission line in Nepal.

 In addition, the corporation has completed large projects in Africa and Asia using lines of credit provided by the Indian government for different infrastructure and development projects.

 As the organisation marks its three-decade anniversary, it is committed to continuing to play a key role in developing infrastructure design and engineering in India and across the globe. Jaguar Overseas Ltd. is continually aware of changing trends and has been ahead of the curve in terms of cutting-edge technology and design.

 Talking about their journey and vision for the future, Mr Manas Agarwal, Jaguar Overseas Limited, said, “Our inventiveness is demonstrated by our use of drones to string electricity conductors in difficult terrains and the integration of high-end software into our projects.

We have strived for quality and a culture of cutting-edge innovation, and we will continue to do so. What genuinely motivates us is the influence we have on communities all across the world.”

 “Based in India and are deeply invested in not just exporting our skills to other nations, but also contributing to the Indian economy in the process, we will continue to work on initiatives on behalf of the Indian government to provide our knowledge to developing countries, to ensure sustainable and equitable development that will enhance the lives of millions of people around the world. Within the country, we are also focused on housing and power projects. Infrastructure initiatives, we believe, will not only create jobs but also help the economy recover.”

 Local communities and the Zambian High Commission in India have praised the company's most recent continuing project, which includes the construction of 409 health posts covering wide areas of Zambia. Under their universal health care programme, the project aims to give access to cost-effective and high-quality health services as close to communities as possible. The power evacuation to Herat city from the 42 MW Afghan-India Friendship Dam, which was inaugurated by Honourable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, and the creation of an Information Technology Park in Mozambique are two more notable projects financed by the Indian government.

 JOL is optimistic about future infrastructure, housing, and electrification initiatives in India. The market is rapidly expanding, with the construction industry alone estimated to reach USD 738.5 billion by 2022, accounting for a small portion of the EPC sector.

 While India will continue to be a focal market for JOL in the next years, the company plans to expand its global footprint, bolstering its position as the top Indian-Global player in infrastructure design and engineering. Its goal is to put India on the map as a worldwide enabler of high-impact, innovative, and high-quality building and infrastructure projects that include cutting-edge technology, towards sustainability.
