They presented innovative ideas and got awards purely on merit, decided through collective wisdom of the participants, via online voting in the sweet Persian language.

In a statement issued by Professor Qureshi on his returning home, said that the future road map of Dairy Science Park was discussed with Dr Irfan Maqsood and other executives of ST+ and the political and academic leadership and senior officers of the Pakistan Consulate at Mashad.
