Pakistan ,Being a under developed country needs proactive policies to meet the challenges of new research needs – and to take advantage of subsequent job opportunities – in areas like sustainable development, climate change, natural hazards, and public health. Creating an international pool of expertise could become an important asset for Pakistani universities, while enabling Pakistani industries to create new jobs. Pakistan’s science policies should also frame a new deal as for developing countries. Today, scientific relations between developed and developing countries are unequal; important genetic discoveries based on Third World diseases provide neither appropriate credit to local scientists or fair returns to the populations that made them possible. Moreover, the North-South gap in public health is a major threat to the future of mankind.
Pakistani scientists are also feeling very dire need of Research funding but the research funding is too small on side and it is rare on other side. Therefore effective and reliable initiatives are needed.
