The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MOITT) is a cabinet-level ministry of the Government of Pakistan concerned with Information Technology and telecommunication. Information technology in Pakistan is a growing industry that has the potential to expand in the future. Pakistan has more than 300,000 English-speaking IT professionals with expertise in current and emerging IT products and technology. Pakistan has 13 software technology parks and more than 20,000 IT professionals and graduates. According to our vision 2025, and the digital policy of Pakistan 2018, the industry size is targeted to reach $20 billion by 2025.

IT ministry is working to set software technology parks in different cities of Punjab. Ministry told that the parks in Gilgit and Hyderabad are already generating “millions of dollars” in few months of their establishment. 25 software technology parks will be established in smaller areas. Two months ago, two memoranda were signed for setting up software technology parks in Faisalabad and Rawalpindi to enhance growth in IT industry in Pakistan. Two months back IT Secretary Shoaib Ahmed Siddiqui said,

The IT industry is receiving top priority from the government to improve Pakistan’s economy, create jobs and lift the overall quality of life.” Government support is with the industry.

There are several projects aimed at facilitating and assisting the IT industry in its growth and ensuring a continued upward momentum in domestic and export earnings,” he emphasized.

The IT industry will establish software technology parks to enhance the growth of the information technology industry in Pakistan.

We want to establish software technology parks in small and big cities of the country, for which Pakistan Software Export Board, an attached department of the ministry, is working to establish software technology parks in Quetta, Gwadar, Faisalabad, Bannu, Swat, Mardan, Sukkur, and Hyderabad,”

The project of IT Park in Islamabad was linked with Digital Pakistan’s vision. A senior IT official said the Islamabad IT project was expected to provide over 5,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities during the construction phase and about 15,000 employment opportunities to IT experts, students, and persons concerning industry after its completion. It provided space for 120 startups and small to medium enterprises.

The contribution of Muslim Scientists in Series

The era which we are praising today is the product of the intellects of many millennium. Those are the gems of intellect that worked out at that time when there were no scientific resources. Those people have observed their surroundings and have produced resources for humanity. The intellectual Muslims have contributed to every field and their contributions are most valuable. Today all the advancements are based on the discoveries and inventions of ancient scientists both Muslims and Non-Muslims. Modern scientists are working and producing technological items that are also based on the ideas of ancient ones.

Al-Hassan Ibn al-Haytham of Basra is known to be the pioneer of Optics. He was the product of the Golden Age of Muslim Civilisation that was a creative time period and brought out many far-reaching advancements in the field of science, mathematics, and medicine. He was the greatest Muslim physicist and one of the greatest students of optics of all time. He was inspired by the works of other great philosophers and scientists who were before him such as Aristotle, Euclid, Al-Kindi, Banu Musa, Ibrahim Ibn Sinan, and Ibn Sahl. Ibna al-Haytham based his theories on the work of Greek physician Galen. He is the one who introduced the methods of verification, testing, and experimentation for the exploration of truth. He has written books as well and in one of his books he says: “If learning the truth is the scientist’s goal . . . then he must make himself the enemy of all that he reads.”

He was the person who has given the concept of how vision works. And he has written a book about the “Book of Optics” in which he has illustrated the eyes and optic nerves. He has drawn images of eyes which have been used by the modern scientist to understand and to produce lenses and other optics items. Al-Haytham used a dark chamber to explore the nature of light and vision. Through this experiment, he observed that light entering through a small hole would travel straight and would project an image onto the opposite wall. From this concept, modern cameras have been designed.

Today, if we can have different lenses and glasses to replace or improve our vision artificially and can capture our every moment, is all because of Al-Haytham. The world is grateful for all his contributions.
