Ashraf said that he has also made it mandatory that such IT skills should be taught to young people in his constituency so that employment can be generated.
He said that the government is willing to extend its full support to businesses of various categories so that foreign exchange can be generated which will generate employment considering the fact that even in developed countries only 4% of employment can be generated by public sector otherwise it will end in loss making entities adding burden on National exchequer.
