RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Youth Affairs Muhammad Usman Dar that the scope of Kamyab Jawan Program will be further expanded, Dunya News reported.
He was speaking at certificate awarding and cheque distribution ceremony under the Kamyab Jawan Program held here at the Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU).
Usman Dar said the present government has launched a massive drive to sensitize the university students about benefits of the Prime Minister’s Kamyab Jawan Programme (KJP), aimed at ensuring socio-economic empowerment of the youth through their skill development, financial inclusion, and civic and political engagement.
Special Assistant to PM said that the women could reap benefits of the KJP as 25 per cent of the total allocation was allocated for them exclusively. The role of women to national development was crucial, he added.
SAPM said Prime Minister Imran Khan was keen to create massive employment opportunities for the youth, adding the government would make all-out efforts to empower them.
Government is providing easy loans and arranging training programmes for youth to make them self-sufficient rather than relying on the government to provide jobs.
They should start their businesses and produce jobs for others too, he said.
Addressing on the occasion, Zartaj Gul, Minister of State for Climate Change said that Kamyab Jawan Program is Pakistan Government’s flagship programme for youth employment which was launched after massive consultation with International and National youth experts from public and private sectors.
