Introduction:
|
The PCSIR
Laboratories, Peshawar are located at Jamrud road adjacent to
University of Peshawar. The Peshawar Laboratories of the Pakistan
Council of Scientific and Industrial Research were initiated in
1955 with a view to especially investigating raw material
resources of the region and assisting in its industrial
development.
In the first formative years, the Laboratories
were manned by a skeleton staff largely engaged in investigations
on the evaluation of indigenous raw materials. With the
availability of qualified scientists upon completion of their
training abroad, emphasis was place on the development of
processes of industrial importance, directed to assisting in
import substitution. This led to a more active interaction with
the industry resulting in the development of several processes of
industrial importance. About two dozen such process have already
been leased out for commercial exploitation. The laboratories have
over the years completed several adhoc projects referred by the
industry ad undertaken analyses of hundreds of samples of raw
materials and products. Besides the major projects described here
in after and the patents obtained, about 500 research papers have
been published in the national and international scientific
journals of repute |
