He appreciated the efforts of Computer Society for arranging the event at a large scale involving youth from all fields to gather and work constructively for technology.

PTI Government is also taking several initiatives to promote youth and innovative ideas in applied sciences and technology fields." The government has established 24 Offices of Research Innovation and Commercialisation (ORIC) in all universities of KP and to support those, endowment fund of Rs 500 million has been allocated for researchers of universities, "however, it is unfortunate that no university has approached the HED," he remarked. He urged the students to submit their proposals to HED and benefit from government initiative.
