National Institute of Technology Bill, 2023
approved
The Senate of Pakistan has adopted the National
Institute of Technology Bill, 2023, granting the institute autonomy in
academics, finance, and administration, along with the authority to hire
officers, teachers, and staff since 2002.
Rana Maqbool Ahmed presented the bill, and
according to its provisions, the government-appointed auditor will not be
allowed to question the policy behind the allocation approved by the
institute's board of governors in the annual budget.
The main objective of the bill is to establish
the National Institute of Technology, which will focus on providing education
and scholarships in various modern knowledge areas and conduct action-oriented
research for societal development.
The institute will concentrate on cutting-edge
technologies such as data science and robotics while promoting strong connections
between academia and industry to facilitate smoother transitions from education
to work, especially in technology-related fields. With its emphasis on
delivering high-quality and comprehensive education, the institute aims to meet
the changing needs of students in Pakistan and encourages student and teacher
exchanges with educational and research organizations both within and outside
the country.
