Empowering youths through Skills 

0

The recent inauguration of the Chief Minister Youth Skills Development Programme by Mir Sarfraz Ahmed Bugti marks a significant step toward addressing the unemployment crisis in Balochistan. With plans to send 30,000 skilled youngsters abroad for livelihood opportunities, this initiative is a long-awaited dream for many, promising hope and development.
Bugti’s emphasis on meritocracy and equal representation from all districts is commendable. It reflects a commitment to inclusivity and fairness, ensuring that every aspiring individual has a chance to succeed. The first batch of skilled youths set to depart in November symbolizes a crucial turning point for the province, potentially transforming lives and uplifting communities.
The Chief Minister’s call for a positive approach among the youth resonates deeply. It is imperative that these young ambassadors of Pakistan showcase the best of our nation abroad, countering negative stereotypes and fostering goodwill. Moreover, the commitment to provide educational opportunities under the Benazir Bhutto Scholarship Programme is a promising investment in the future of Balochistan.
However, the path forward is not without challenges. The specter of unemployment and societal issues cannot be overlooked. Bugti rightly highlighted the need to combat extremism and the allure of negative influences. By engaging youth in constructive and meaningful ways, we can redirect their energies toward development rather than despair.
As Balochistan stands on the brink of transformation, it is crucial for both the government and the community to support this initiative wholeheartedly. Empowering our youth is not just about sending them abroad; it is about building a resilient future for Balochistan, fostering a sense of identity, and paving the way for sustainable development. The time for action is now—let us embrace this opportunity to uplift our youth and, in turn, our province.
