CEO’s Message
Dr. Mansab Ali (CEO)

Regrettably, the present technology transfer process is slower and sluggish as compared to its desirable level particularly in ever increasing global competition. This invigorates the need to establish a dynamic commercial and marketing company to transfer knowledge and technical know how, available with PARC and/or National Agricultural Research System (NARS) to the ultimate end users viz.
