Prof. Dr. Tasawar Hayat congratulated SALAAS for choosing a very timely theme of “Science and Technology for a Better Tomorrow” for this forum as the Pandemic COVID-19 has proved that much more work is still required for counter-measures to possible pandemics worldwide. Science and technology make nations strong and secure. The speed of technological changes is fast, and the scientific community world over needs to join hands to streamline the mechanism to invent, innovate, and reinvent continuously in the domain of science and technology. At the same time, this process requires an active and dynamic science and technology policy culture.
