The Central Development Working Party (CDWP) has recommended a Rs. 37.19 billion project for the development of Pakistan's PakSat-2 satellite to the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC). This initiative is part of the government's Uraan Pakistan agenda, which aims to strengthen the country's space program.
Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal emphasized the importance of this step in the development process. In addition to the satellite project, CDWP approved a Rs. 3.62 billion initiative to establish a Geo-AI Development and Innovation Hub, focusing on geospatial capabilities and innovation. The Premier also approved a revised plan for the Dr. Ashfaq Ahmad Khan Center for Basic Sciences, which had been delayed due to land issues.
The minister directed the Higher Education Commission to identify universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Balochistan for similar centers. Furthermore, CDWP approved a Rs. 5.01 billion project for commercial-scale olive cultivation in Balochistan and the newly merged districts, aiming to develop one million acres of olive plantations under the initiative.
