KP Government Launches Comprehensive Skill Development Program for Youth
In order to improve the socioeconomic situation of the province, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) administration has launched a number of bold projects targeted at increasing jobs, developing technical skills, and building infrastructure. These initiatives are designed to help low-income families, empower young people, and advance renewable energy sources.
Youth Employment and Skill Development Program
For the purpose of implementing a comprehensive skill development and employment program for the youth of the province, the KP government has set aside Rs 11.5 billion. 60,000 young people can receive free training through this initiative, and 25,000 internships are offered to help them become even more employable.
According to the province Education Department, the scheme offers 42,000 people financial awards of up to Rs 80,000 for those living in rural areas and merging districts. Based on official data:
Government technical schools have graduated 37,000 pupils.
At private technical schools, 36,000 students have finished their education.
The initiative places a high priority on diversity, with 19,000 men and women anticipated to take part in its first phase. Thus far, 312 grant applications have been received, and 806 people have successfully finished their program. This program demonstrates a dedication to developing talent and establishing long-term employment opportunities throughout KP.
Interest-Free Housing Loans for Low-Income Families
Under the Ehsaas Apna Ghar program, the KP government unveiled an interest-free housing loan program earlier this month. This program provides loans of up to Rs 1.5 million for home construction or renovation in partnership with the KP Housing Department and the Bank of Khyber.
The scheme’s salient elements include:
Rs 4 billion was spent on the project in total.
a seven-year payback plan to make sure low-income families can afford it.
In addition to addressing the housing crisis, this initiative helps impoverished families in the province maintain their financial security.
Solarization of Health Centers Across KP
The provincial health department is leading a massive solarization project for 195 medical facilities spread throughout four important districts: Peshawar, Nowshera, Swabi, and Haripur, as part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Human Capital Investment Program (KP-HCIP).
The solarization project, which has a budget of more than Rs 23 billion, consists of:
There are 151 Basic Health Units (BHUs) with solar energy systems.
Twenty-five rural health centers have been solarized.
Six Category C hospitals and thirteen Category D hospitals are upgrading their power systems.
By guaranteeing a continuous energy supply for healthcare facilities, this initiative enhances service delivery and lessens dependency on traditional energy sources.
Conclusion
Recent actions taken by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration show a comprehensive strategy for dealing with pressing problems like housing, energy sustainability, and unemployment. The KP government is creating the conditions for sustained economic growth and higher living standards for its citizens by funding skill development, offering financial aid, and updating the state’s healthcare system. The province’s dedication to building a more promising and sustainable future is demonstrated by these initiatives.
