The Planning Minister has been laboriously pursuing this enterprise since he assumed charge in April 2022. From 2013 to 2017, the Planning Minister under the vision of 2025 started several enterprises. still, some of the systems were stopped by the former government and it has been renewed again. “The top priority of the government is to provide such facilities to the country’s youth so that they can excel in their respective fields,” said the Minister. 

The largest internship program in Pakistan, Prime Minister Ba-Ikhtiyar Naujawan, aims to give young people economic independence. By providing 60,000 paid internships to recent graduates across Pakistan, the initiative is working towards this goal.
