Through the National Productivity Organization (NPO) in the country, the Ministry of Industries and Production has undertaken a development project to improve the productivity of the country’s industrial, manufacturing, service, and educational sectors.
?Chief Executive Officer of NPO Muhammad Alamgir Chaudhry stated that this productivity movement was the first-ever developmental project supported by the public sector development program to enhance competitiveness through sustainable national productivity.

Moreover,?Chaudhry noted that?competition in the public and private sectors must be encouraged in order to boost industrial production and achieve economic growth and prosperity, We need to be efficient in our productivity tools including output increase, human resources, technology and process of different industrial value chains for achieving industrial growth to enhance our trade volume with the world.
The local industrial sector is lacking the efficiency in its value chain through technology, productivity, innovation; managerial productivity and human labor productivity, which are the major tools to enhance the productivity and efficiency in the local industrial sector, he added.
