Pakistan is excelling in almost every industry out there. One of these industries is IT (Information Technology). Every company and every office (even people’s homes) need IT assistance. Most of our jobs (if not all) require the use of the Internet and where there is internet, there is a need for an IT department.
Sadly, our national policies don’t really give much room and focus on IT. Kanwal Masroor of Tech Pakistan, an online platform about technology, came up with his own revisions in IT policy and here they are:
1. Creating jobs and micro jobs in ICT/Technology sectors- generating entrepreneurs who can create more jobs.
2. Developing and building local opportunities in the technology.. Creating think tank, utilizing corporate sector and increasing of IT export.
