Information Technology University (ITU) is working with Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) on a ‘Big Data Project’ via which massive data sets, which otherwise can’t be processed through traditional data processing platforms, can be stored, accessed and actively processed.

In a handout issued on Thursday, ITU Vice-Chancellor Dr Umar Saif said this project would be a positive step towards incorporating democratic values in the society with the concepts of access to information, accountability and good governance as its core objectives.’
