Youth Empowerment through Skill Development
By reiterating that 60% of the entire population of the country is comprised of people below 30, while 80% has not yet attained 40, Hafiz Naeemur Rehman urged the youth to learn instead of thinking about foreign shores for better future prospects. He defined the BanoQabil program by calling it a “game changer” of the economy; its benefits would be visible in IT-based exports.
What Has BanoQabil Done?
Over the last two years, more than 48,000 students have graduated from BanoQabil. Hafiz Naeemur Rehman noted that the JI indeed facilitated the careers of these students.
Laptops for All Graduates
In a groundbreaking development, he said the first phase would send 10,000 laptops to top-performing BanoQabil graduates to harness international job markets and earn a livelihood through them
Call for Action
Encouraged by Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, the young Karachiites must stand up for their rights without wavering in devotion to selfish and dishonest leaders. “Pakistan is for all the youth, not for generals, capitalists and the elite.”
Address by JI Karachi Ameer
JI Karachi Ameer and Monem Zafar added to the statements by the participants saying that they have to stop negative propaganda about Pakistan’s future and instead direct their actions towards serving the country.
This has reaffirmed the promise of JI to empower every Pakistani youth through education, skills, and job creation.
