Dr Abid Gill (Agrarian): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has rightly pointed out that we need to use modern technology in agricultural sector. Therefore, the government has sent a batch of students to China with purpose to learn modern techniques in agricultural sector. Actually, our cost of wheat production is higher than the other countries of the world due to higher prices of fertilizers, power and other factors. IT and AI will be mostly used in agricultural sector in future. Role of technology has been enhanced in almost every sector. China has become be 2nd biggest technology hub after US in the world. China is providing cheaper technology to the world as compared to the other countries. Therefore, we need to send our students to get expertise in technology field from China.
