STAFF REPORT KARACHI: The number of PhD scholars in Pakistan has considerably increased after the HEC formation, however, there is growing concern that the quality of the research may not have improved.
“There are few exceptions, the research in public sector universities is of relatively high standard. We are mostly doing research on under-utilised resources that can increase the quality of food products and their packaging,” commented former chairperson of the Department of Food Science & Technology, Dr Abid Hasnain.
Ex-chairman, Department of Pharmacognosy, University of Karachi (KU), Professor Mansoor Ahmed, was of the opinion that the research work in his university and other universities is mostly in the right direction, but majority of the research findings go unnoticed in the field because no body utilises these findings.
