Underperforming Institutions of Science and Technology Ministry Face Shutdown

on 17/10/2024

Several underperforming organizations under Pakistan’s Ministry of Science and Technology may soon face closure, according to official sources. A committee has been established to identify those institutes that have failed to deliver satisfactory results.

This move comes in the wake of concerns over the ministry’s overall efficiency, which has prompted the government to review the performance of various affiliated bodies. Entities that are deemed redundant or inefficient could either be restructured or completely shut down.

The committee is expected to submit its findings to the government soon. Once the report is finalized, recommendations will be put forward on how to handle these underperforming institutions. Sources indicate that the focus is on optimizing resources and improving overall productivity within the ministry.

The government’s decision comes as part of a broader effort to enhance Pakistan’s science and technology landscape, ensuring that the country keeps pace with global advancements.
