Chief Program Officer & Head, STRC
It has been a truly enriching past twelve months for STRC. As we move on to a new year, I can sense, a few significant strides are being taken in the right direction towards realizing STRC as a self-sustainable entity. While on-going initiatives have taken traction, new avenues of collaborative action have emerged. We have just begun to make a mark as an institution with a clear mandate of science and technology based development in the region. I am optimistic about the future, however, I must admit, a lot more effort is required to be put in.
