To improve farm economics and also to improve the socio-economic well being of the farmers, there i
need for a mechanism that can provide timely and relevant advice specific to the needs of each indivi
farmer so he is able to improve agricultural yield and production.
It is difficult to find a good cab on suitable rates. Normally people have to wait for considerabe time in
to find public transport at reasonable rates. Similarly, taxi drivers also waste a lot of precious fuel as t
have to wander endlessly in search of customers.
Due to financial compulsions, children in many rural and urban areas of Pakitsan are forced to find wo

system to address this problem.
There is no active research being conducted in universities in the domain of space technology.
The educational system for disabled people in Pakistan needs a lot of attention and improvements. Th
schools established for visually impaired in Pakistan do not have the necessary equipment to impart p
education.
Gardening is an interesting past time, however, due to hectic life style, many gardening enthusiasts a
unable to devote their time to their hobby. One reason of this lack of ineterst could be attributed to th
intensive effort required to grow most sensitive plants and also, time required for this purpose.
Real time processing from multiple medical devices and data acquisition plays an important role in are
where all the medical facilities are not available. Pakistan is an agricultural country and around 66% o
population lives in rural areas without proper access to hospitals and facilities which can fulfill their m
needs.
In most armored vehicles, there is a serious threat to soldiers lives as they require atleast two to thre
people to maneuver vehicles and fire during a battle.

periodically.
The number of electrical gadgets used by professionals has considerably increased. Also there is grea
diffculty in carrying numerous electrical devices such as cell phones, tablets, laptops etc.
In most organizations, the prevailing filing and documentation system is manual and managed by cler
staff members. The official memos are written on paper and then handed to staff members for sendin
other colleagues. Furthermore, if some previous letter or minute sheets are required for reference, it t
considerable time to search them. Document storage, security and back up are also added problems w
this mode of docment management.
Although, recent advances in technology have made our lives considerably easier than our ancestors,
has, however led to a variety of health related issues such as lack of physical activity, increased weigh
lack of social activity, time management etc.
