During the first meeting of the Sub-Committee constituted on this issue under Syed Khurshid Shah that was held in the Committee Room of Ministry of Science & Technology, some experts from GIKI were also called for an expert opinion. They considered the idea to be "infeasible". However, the Committee posited to further look into the matter before a final decision.
It was also agreed that if the Technology is found feasible, P&D and S&TR Divisions shall submit a PC-I for approval. The intended Development Project (Most probably a PSDP Project) shall be under PEC and shall be funded by Finance Division via MoST. As yet no activity is going on regarding this issue on files or in meetings. Let's see what happens in the next meeting.
