S.M. Saqlan Naqvi | 9 years ago | Reply PARC/NARC are the major hub for International connectivity for development of agriculture. Now-a-days here from Functional Grain Center of Charles Sturt University in Australia, we have convinced ACIAR (Australia Center for International Agricultural Research) to fund a project aimed at improvement of pulses crops in Pakistan. We have only PARC/NARC to coordinate as the National Focal Point, with resources including land, expertise and reach for implementation of the project. In the absence of research center like NARC we would have never imagined to sit on a table with ACIAR. This is only one small reason for existence of NARC. Islamabad has a lot of area to grow, and a mere 1400 acres will not create any appreciable increase in the CDA empire. Institutions are built over decades and should not be destroyed by such dubious moves.
