There is an acute shortage of sophisticated scientific equipment in most universities and research laboratories of the country which acts as an impediment to the development of scientific research in Pakistan. Due to the high cost of acquiring and maintaining modern tools of research, Higher Education Commission has initiated a unique program of sharing the scientific instrumentation facilities which would enable the scientific community to have access to sophisticated equipment while providing a source of funding to those institutions which make their instruments available. Higher Education Commission has also launched a program to provide funds to public sector universities/degree awarding institutions for purchase of spare parts along with repair and maintenance of expensive scientific laboratory equipment lying inoperative for want of repair/spare parts.
