Minister for Information Attaullah Tarar has emphasized empowering youth by providing them modern education and skills.
Speaking at a Youth Conference in Lahore on Sunday, he credited the PML-N government’s laptop scheme for enabling students to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic and preventing the economy from collapsing.
The Minister said remittances worth 7 billion dollars were sent by young Pakistanis working abroad in the first quarter of this year, which is largely contributing in strengthening the country’s economy.
He underscored the importance of educating the youth about the significance of Pakistan’s creation.
Highlighting the role of young people in Pakistan’s development, the Minister stated that the youth were instrumental in the Pakistan Movement and continue to contribute to the country’s progress.
