ISLAMABAD - Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudary has said that relying on government for industries’ improvement must end and more efforts are needed for the entrepreneur sector to stand on its own footings for progress.

The minister emphasised on technological development in the country.
Briefing about the importance of the much needed promotion of Halal Products, the minister said, Pakistan can improve revenue by improving its exports. “We need to benefit from biotechnology, standardization and digital technology. Halal products have an industry of 1.27 trillion dollars the world over. Saudi Arabia, Malaysia and the UAE are currently benefiting from Halal products.
