Academic Heritage
What is meant by modern? Normally we mean it by ‘new’ which is so not appropriate for the term. The things which are new now, won’t be new after one hundred years. So the actual meaning of the term ‘modern’ is ‘New and Now’. Education in 21st century demands a balance between continuity and change. Biotechnology is essential for the sustainable development of the country. This is in fact the science of every age and the experts in this discipline are immortals and their works are the pavements to the ways that lead to the future. Biotechnology is currently being used in many areas including agriculture, bioremediation, food processing and energy production. DNA fingerprinting is becoming a common practice in forensics. Production of insulin and other medicines is accomplished through cloning of vectors that carry the chosen gene. In agriculture, genetic engineering is being used to produce plants that are resistant to insects, weeds and plant diseases. We are the first Institution in Pakistan to provide a focused and dedicated research program in Biotechnology and our mission is to develop the top biotechnology professionals to meet the needs of our country. We are working on providing state of the art lab equipment for the students to conduct their experiments and a top quality library with quality books imported from abroad to help them equip themselves with up to date knowledge of their field. As stated above, there are countless opportunities available in this field and Akhuwat FIRST is confident that our graduates will play an important role to develop and improve the different industries of Pakistan which will ultimately help our country economically.
