Scientists urged to play role for country’s progress


STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: Irfan Nadeem, Secretary for Science and Technology and Raza Khan, has stressed upon scientists and technologists to play a vital role in the development of the country.

“We should struggle for the maintenance and improvement of our scientific and technological institutions,” Irfan said this while addressing a one-day exhibition arranged by the Ministry of Science and Technology in collaboration with the FPCCI here last week.
It is progress that guarantees the development of products, meeting the demands, especially of our most needy people, he said.
In his remarks, Guest of honour Muhammad Raza Khan, said that the importance of science and technology in society is demonstrated by the unconscious use of it in our daily lives. He said that we often have no idea how science and technology really affect us.
“We constantly use cell phones and computers, which are gifts of science and technology. There are hundreds of devices that science and technology have given us, he said adding that medicine is wall-to-wall science and technology,” he maintained.
