Separate space will be maintained within the university where students will be provided opportunities related to Information Technology.
\nHe further stated that we as a nation have not benefited from the era of industrialization and missed many opportunities. The only solution to grow drastically is to work on Information Technology. We need to train people. Government has spared 3 billion for the training of youth in different domains including training, startups and financial assistance which will be done step wise.
\nFemales are deprived in all other fields but Information Technology can bring bright future for females of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\nScience and Technology part will also take universities on board and make 2-3 projects that can contribute in the wellbeing of the society and may be commercialized and may be provided to community on subsidized rates or further may be commercialized. And ORIC\u2019s of universities play major role and make them contact government orgs. We\u2019re not less than anyone but need to be polished.
\nThe universities being the hub of research must work closely with the government and provide feedback and new projects too. The government will extend full support to the university. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
