In a time frame of less than just three months, a second software technology park has been inaugurated in Islamabad after the first one. The Fazal Software Technology Park occupies a whopping 40,000 square feet of space. In the inauguration ceremony for the park, the Federal Minister for IT & Telecom, Syed Amin Ul Haque, said that “the current government’s first priority is to uplift the country’s IT industry”. Software technology parks are significant in terms of bringing FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) which will boost the economy of our country. Many IT aspirants will get a job with a good pay here along with ensuring development of the Country overall. Growth of IT sector, hence is a good omen for country’s economic growth and is in line with Prime Minister Mr. Imran Khan’s vision of a Digital Pakistan. Having said this, IT and Telecommunication companies operating in Pakistan, powered by PTCL which is the national company of Pakistan, must realize the increased significance and demand of services they provide to their massive clientele. Amid Covid-19, people have either gone jobless or their salaries have been cut to half in most of the industries. At affordable rates in era of ‘New Normal’ i.e. ‘Work from Home ‘, flawless and speedy internet and broadband services must be provided across Pakistan, especially the remote regions.
