He is a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials. He holds a visiting position at the Program on Science and Global Security of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University, US, where he spends summer months conducting technical studies on issues in nuclear disarmament.
Nayyar is a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000.Īnother area that interests him is nuclear disarmament. Nayyar also takes an active interest in the national and international peace movements. He has since authored a number of articles further criticising the state of education in Pakistan.
