benefits for the nation. The findings of the paper are based on literature review,
various reports by public and private sector, meetings with professionals and students and focus
group discussions with various stake holders. Findings of the paper include that there is a need to
adopt an integrated model for entrepreneurship development in Pakistan. Current efforts in
