LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari has said that empowering young people and ensuring their economic independence are among the top priorities of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, Azma Bokhari said the CMIT Internship Programme reflects the chief minister’s vision of equipping youth with practical skills and creating employment opportunities in the information technology sector.
She said thousands of young people have already received IT training through the four-month internship programme, with each intern receiving a monthly stipend of Rs50,000 from the Punjab government.
The provincial information minister added that registration for the third phase of the programme is currently underway, providing more graduates with opportunities to acquire professional IT skills and establish sustainable careers.
The minister added that the Maryam Nawaz-led government believes in delivering practical results rather than making verbal promises.
She emphasised that empowering young people and making them financially self-reliant is a key part of the vision for a prosperous and developing Punjab.
