Women are actively participating in national development: Zubair

KARACHI, Mar 11 (APP):Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair has
said that Pakistani women are talented, intelligent and are
actively participating shoulder to shoulder with men in the
national development.
He said this while addressing an awards ceremony organised
by Women Chamber of Commerce and Industry Karachi at Governor
House, said a statement issued here on Sunday.
He said that women are playing an important role in every
field of life, including development, welfare and economy.
Muhammad Zubair said that the government is encouraging
women in different fields of life, including national development,
politics, economy, higher education and other fields.
The Governor said that a recent survey revealed that only 20
percent of women who got higher education are taking part in the
national development after getting married, which is deplorable.

is the need of hour.

the beacon of light for women.
