While talking to media, she said that the universities played a pivotal role in educating and training students.

"The economic situation demands that we do not take business as usual. Therefore, university leaders have been requested to focus their research on the three main imports which could reduce foreign exchange spending.
It is significant that Pakistan has very few local brands".
"In this context the need for research and commercialization of local oils and drinks so that they can be consumed off the shelf while increasing employment and growth of the local economy," she said.
"Agriculture Universities may come up with ways in which they could enhance local growing of tea and promote local brands of indigenous drinks. Laban is very nicely packaged in Saudi Arabia and Gulf. Similarly, Iran has packaged Lassi smartly in various innovative flavours like strawberry , vanilla".
