Federal Minister for Defense Production and Science and Technology, Rana Tanveer Hussain on Monday said that Information Technology (IT) is playing a vital role in today’s world and if a nation wishes to develop at a fast pace, it has to opt for latest technologies.

The Government of Pakistan is committed to exploiting potential of various technologies, especially those related to IT.

He said this while addressing at a seminar on ‘Role of Information Technology in Education’, organised by University Institute of Information Technology of Pir Mehr Ali Shah Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi (PMAS-AAUR).
