QUETTA, Sep 19 (APP):In a significant step toward youth development, Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan Ameer Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman met with Balochistan Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti on Friday to discuss the province’s political, social, and educational landscape.
The meeting, attended by senior officials from both sides, focused on launching a collaborative strategy to deliver modern IT training to Balochistan’s youth.
Chief Minister Bugti expressed his appreciation for Jamaat-e-Islami’s “Bano Qabil Pakistan” initiative, describing it as a valuable contribution to the provincial government’s mission to equip young people with competitive skills.
He announced the rollout of the “Youth Skills Development Program,” highlighting that the first batch of trainees has already departed for Saudi Arabia, with a second group preparing for Germany.
