People of Turbat are the future of Pakistan says PM

Prime Minister Imran Khan has announced to increase the scholarships for the students of Balochistan from 185 to 360.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony of Ehsaas’ Taleemi-wazaef under the Waseela-e-Taleem program today, he said that the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf government will assist the students of Balochistan in every possible way. In the past, Balochistan lagged behind due to a lack of funding. Balochistan has never received as much funding as PTI did.

He said that “no society has developed without education. Knowledge makes man unique from other creatures. The people of Turbat are the future of Pakistan. Balochistan is in dire need of educated people.”

Imran Khan is on a visit to Balochistan where he will also hold important meetings with government officials.
