He was of the view that researches can be exchanged into civil and military fields through the step. He said that the ministry is trying to establish a system with civil-military research interface.

The minister said that Prime Minister Imran Khan will unveil $30 billion export plan this week where a major portion is allocated to biotechnology. The plan will transform the national economy, he added.

Fawad said that the world will witness Pakistan as a pioneer in technology, especially biotechnology. He said that Pakistan could be listed among developed states within 25 years if it focuses on the science and technology sector.

Earlier in December last year, Fawad Chaudhry had said that he is working on approval of another ’12 B RS Scholarship program’ for science and technology students, ARY News reported.

Fawad Chaudhry, while commenting over a Twitter message regarding Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholarship Program, hinted that twelve new programmes are in pipeline for science and technology students.

He advised in his message that all youngsters should stay focus on their academics in science and technology, as well as bringing innovations for a bright future. The federal minister hinted for initiation of scholarship programs for graduates and research support.

However, the minister has not yet revealed the details of the upcoming scholarship programs which are specifically focused to support the students from science and technology fields.
