Punjab ensuring economic empowerment for youth: Azma Bukhari

Punjab Information Minister Azma Bohari has said that empowering the youth and ensuring their financial independence is one of the top priorities of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz.

In a statement issued here on Saturday, Azma Bokhari said the CMIT internship program reflects the Chief Minister’s vision to equip the youth with practical skills and create job opportunities in the information technology sector.

She said thousands of young people have already received IT training through the four-month internship programme, with each intern receiving a monthly stipend of Rs50,000 from the Punjab government.

The provincial information minister added that registration for the third phase of the programme is currently underway, providing more graduates with opportunities to acquire professional IT skills and establish sustainable careers. The minister added that the Maryam Nawaz-led government believes in practical results rather than talk.

She emphasized that empowering the youth and making them economically self-reliant is a key part of the vision of a prosperous and prosperous Punjab.
