Opens NED University Advanced Material Testing Laboratory
KARACHI: Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said here on Wednesday that the Operation Zarb-e-Azb had eliminated terrorism from the country.
Ahsan Iqbal expressed these views while inaugurating the Advanced Material Testing Laboratory at the Departmentof Earthquake Engineering, NED University of Engineering and Tech**logy.
He claimed that all efforts would be carried out to eradicate remnants of terrorism from the country. He termed terrorism a virus and said that it was the main hurdle in Pakistan’s social and eco**mic growth and welfare.
He observed that terrorist networks had been dismantled and it would take some time to completely eliminate them from the society. “The world considered the Pakistani eco**my a failure but **w our eco**mic indicators are showing considerable improvement,” he said.
Talking about the new Sindh chief minister, Iqbal said that Murad Ali Shah was a highly educated person and he would be able to play a better role in the development and success of the province and the country.
Talking about Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan, he said the PTI supremo should realise that Pakistan needed a long march for eco**mic revival, **t for political chaos. Imran Khan should wait till 2018 to participate in the general elections and use his energy to build a new Pakistan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, he added.
The federal minister also asked the PTI chairman to review his statement in which he an**unced his plan of launching a protest against the Panama papers, corruption allegations and invited him to come forward and play his part in the development of the country.
He said that the federal government would provide Rs900 million in the next three years to the NED University for completing new mega projects being initiated at the university. He said the federal government had adopted a policy to upgrade all engineering universities of the country and different projects had been initiated at these universities across the country.
According to him, the government has allocated Rs1,500 billion to achieve the target while the federal government has also doubled the funding to improve higher education in Pakistan.
“From the year 2010 to 2013, Rs100 billion were granted for the higher education. When the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) came into power, the grant has been increased to Rs205 billion from the year 2013 to 2016,” he said.
Quoting the figures of increase in grant, he said the increment showed that the party was working in the right direction and following the indicators set for its vision 2025, through which it wanted to establish “k**wledge eco**my”.
“The majority of the country’s population comprises youngsters and therefore we want to provide them the best education and access to tech**logy to produce high quality human resources in the country,” he maintained.
Ahsan Iqbal expressed that he was impressed by the standard of education being provided at the NED University and believed that its students could play their role around the world.
He congratulated the faculty and staff on preparing students to face challenges in their lives. The PML-N leader also assured the government’s support to universities which would play role in national development.
