Development Requires Synergized Efforts of all Economic Sectors: Dr Hasan Sohaib Murad
Saturday, October 28 2017
Addressing the inaugural session of the IBCE 2017, Dr Hasan Sohaib Murad, Chairman, ILM Trust, said that development takes place through coordinated efforts of all leading sectors of the economy. The role of the government is to devise policies so that there is justice and fairplay for all. The role of business is to capitalize on human and economic resources, and reach out to new markets. The role of academia is to provide human resources and take a long term view to harness their potential. Events like the IBCE provide a forum where students interact with the corporate sector to explore the dynamics of the business world, while allowing businesses to see what is going on in the classrooms. This multi-sectoral, multi-dimensional and multi-perspective approach to development is only possible through a convergence of academia, business and government.
Dr Hasan added that gone are the days when academia was secluded and worked in isolation in university campuses. There is a need to have active linkages and open channels of communication to work and reinforce each other. He concluded by saying that Pakistan has a great future. He advised the youth to align their careers around evolving market needs.
