Engineers are virtually builders of the country and they should play their vital role in overcoming the prevalent crisis and pave the way for a strong, stable and prosperous Pakistan. They should also dispel negative propaganda while serving within the country or abroad and convince the investors to make investment in joint ventures and new industrial units in Pakistan.
