Unfortunately, this sounds like a lot of hot air. SUPARCO can't even run IST properly for research, how will they do all these things with other places. I think the people with the right idea in Pakistan right now are AvRID. Human resource is key. And human resource isn't sending incompetent faculty abroad for taxpayer-funded PhDs, which seems to be what everyone thinks it is. It is hiring competent engineers and retaining them with good work environments where research and free-thinking is rewarded with good pays.
