In the recent past, the Federal Minister for Information Technology and Communication Syed Aminul Haque said that manufacturing of smart-phones had been started in Pakistan while 5G technology would be launched in the country by July 2023 and our effort was to make access to technology possible for people in every part of the country. According to him, as compared to the exports in other sectors in Pakistan, the highest increase in exports had occurred in the IT and telecommunication sector and other exports had increased by two to three percent only, while the exports of IT and telecommunication had increased by 47.44 percent. He believed the future needs could be met with the cooperation of IT industries and universities. He also shared that during 2019-20, US$75 million was allocated for the start-ups whereas the next year the amount was increased to US$373 million. According to him, today is the era of IT because technology is being embedded very rapidly in every sphere of life, such as architecture, defense systems, space sciences, health, and other sectors. Keeping in view the minister’s approach, the IT gurus like Rizwan Majeed, a significant progress and development can be made in the field of IT. Last but not least, the idea of effective IT Parks can also be materialized under the wisdom of the IT expert like Prof Athar Mahboob in Pakistan within a few years but with serious and sincere patronage of the Government of Pakistan.
