During the meeting three projects related to PIDE came under discussion which includes Centre of Excellence for CPEC, Competitive Grants Program for Policy -Oriented Research and Construction of PIDE Campus, in F-5\/2 which were approved by CDWP and DDWP in 2016, 2019 and 2020 respectively. The Centre of Excellence was established in Pakistan Institutes Development Economics (PIDE) which could help in better management of the programme but unfortunately, there is no progress, said the minister.<br \/>\n\u201cThe idea of the centre was to conduct an empirical research which could help in tapping new opportunities,\u201d said the minister while directing Registrar PIDE to submit a complete action plan and their achievements \u201cWe have little knowledge about Chinese markets therefore, a quality research centre is a dire need of time particularly, in the field of industrial cooperation, he added.<br \/>\nThe minister also inquired about the construction of PIDE campus in F-5\/2, Islamabad. The minister was informed that the Capital Development Authority (CDA) has not handed over the plot despite full payment.<br \/>\nHe directed that possession of land should be taken immediately and work on construction of the campus must commence without further delay.<br \/>\nDuring the meeting, the minister also reviewed several development projects which includes Integrated Energy Planning, Strengthening of Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) System, Social Sector Accelerator (SSA) for Health, Nutrition, Education, Youth and Green Line Bus Transit System, operationalisation of Green Line BRTS and several others.<br \/>\nThe minister directed relevant project directors to submit action plans of their projects so the performance could be evaluated.
