LAHORE, Jan 15 (APP):Jamaat-e-Islami Emir Hafiz Naeem-ur-Rehman has announced the party’s vision to train one million youngsters with IT courses in Punjab over the next two years.
He said this while speaking at a certificate and laptop distribution ceremony under the “Bano Qabil” program organized by Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan at the Expo Center, here on Wednesday.
Highlighting the potential of the IT sector, he stated that focusing on IT alone could boost annual exports from the current $3.2 billion to $10 billion.
Referring to the empowering youth, JI leader said that the second phase of free IT courses under the “Bano Qabil” program would commence in Lahore on February 23. He also called upon youth to become ambassadors for the Alkhidmat “Bano Qabil” initiative.
Rehman reiterated the party’s demand for a uniform education system and curriculum across the country.
He stated that the “Bano Qabil” program, which started in Karachi with over 50 campuses offering free IT courses, has now expanded to all provinces, including remote areas of Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab.
The JI chief noted that Pakistan is a country of young people, with 80% of its population under the age of 40. “We will not let the youth lose hope; we will secure the country’s future through education and empowerment,” he affirmed.
