Pakistan leads in the technological era. The exhibition canters in Pakistan plays a vital role in backing up the technicians to come up with more and more new technologies because it gives reflection of our technologies to the foreigners which are representing their country, which means we are reflecting our image to that world.

Presiding over a meeting held to review the initiatives taken for the promotion of technical education in the province, the chief minister said that the future of Pakistan is linked with the technical education, and equipping the young generation with modern knowledge will not only solve the problem of unemployment but also put the country on the road to progress. He asked for the formulation of a practicable and transparent policy, comprising steps like provision of incentives to private sector, for the promotion of modern technical education.
The meeting was attended by elected representatives, Institute for Special Initiatives chairman, additional chief secretary, industries secretary and concerned officers. Punjab Vocational Training Council (PVTC) Chairman Faisal Ejaz Khan gave a detailed briefing with regard to the implementation of various programmes and future strategy for the promotion of technical education in the province.

He said that TEVTA and Punjab Vocational Training Council have been made vibrant and dynamic institutions and these have been given the target of preparing skilled manpower keeping in view the demands of the market.

Shahbaz said that various programmes for equipping the male and female students with technical education are being conducted through TEVTA and Punjab Vocational Training Council in the province.

The chief minister stressed that government efforts to equip youth with technical education could get a boost with the participation of private sector, and called for a model under which incentives could be given to private sector and subsidy to the students getting technical education in the private sector. He directed that a solid strategy should be evolved jointly for this purpose and chambers of commerce and industry should also be included in this process.
Separately, in a meeting with Quarter Master General, Lt Gen Sajjad Ghani, Shahbaz said all available resources were being utilised for the provision of best transport facilities to the people. The CM said under the second phase of an urban transport project, an agreement has been reached with a Chinese company for the provision of 575 buses, which would operate in Lahore and other big cities of the province.
