Its' almost 35 years since the computers first came to Pakistan when certain banks PIA and WAPDA installed computers at their head offices. During 1970's and early 80's import of computers was banned and one could not import a computer without the special import license of the Ministry of Commerce. The restriction was eased in mid 80's when the import of computer was put on free list. The import duties were also reduced and subsequently removed. In the 90's the market was flooded with low cost user friendly PC's that did not require rigid operating environments. This resulted in sharp increase in the number of computers imported and installed. As a result of the government's liberal policies, this increase became exponential both in the government as well as private sector. In March last year, the government decided to set up the IT & Telecom Division to provide a focal point for IT at federal level and Prof. Dr. Atta ur Rehman was appointed the Minister for Science & Technology. Since then as we all know tremendous development activity has taken place in the IT Sector in Pakistan.
