Our History
IT is the fastest growing Industry in the world and keeping in view its demand, Government of the Gilgit Baltistan felt the need to create a department that would be solely responsible for its prosperity through Information Technology. It was further decided that the department shall also monitor global opportunities, cater to the growing needs of IT, develop policy alternatives, and plan and rapidly implement initiatives for building an internationally competitive IT industry in the region. Resultantly, Gilgit Baltistan Information Technology Board was formed in 2025
