abreast with new technological advancement and to develop and progress in
today's knowledge-based economic world, Pakistan needs a strong, vibrant and
modern education system, he added.

educational institutions is not merely traditional education, learning and
disseminating knowledge rather they must be engaged in generating meaningful
research which is relevant to the country's needs and offer indigenous solutions
to our problems. In this context, universities are actually the think tanks for
devising policies in all spheres of business," he added.
