The IT sector can play a critical role in providing employment to millions of Pakistanis and contributing towards the economic progress of the country, President Dr Arif Alvi said on Monday at the signing ceremony of initiating an optic fibre cable (OFC) project to provide connectivity in three districts of Sindh.
The Federal Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, through the Universal Service Fund (USF), has initiated a project worth Rs2.1 billion in Benazirabad, Naushahro Feroz, and Khairpur districts to lay down the OFC.
Alvi thought it was necessary to keep up with the changing times and embracing technological developments taking place globally, and the prime minister’s vision of Digital Pakistan required that Pakistan meet the international standards of technological advancement and progress.
