\nThe closing ceremony of the event was attended by the Minister for Agriculture, Sports & Youth Affairs, Supply & Prices, Inquiries and Anti-Corruption – Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar, Secretary Agriculture Sindh – Mr. Rafique A. Burero, Director General Agriculture Engineering Department – Shuhab Uddin Abro and AGTL officials.
\nThe workshop kicked off with an introduction to Al-Ghazi\u2019s tractor product range, delving into the financial benefits of tractor ownership and the business opportunities it creates. On the second day, participants rolled up their sleeves for practical training, where they learned to operate and maintain tractors. From obtaining tractor driving licenses to hands-on driving practice, these women gained the confidence and skills needed to make a real impact in their farming communities.
\nAmna Baloch, a participant who comes from a farming background, said, \u2018I have never received training like this before and never thought I could drive a tractor. Now, I feel excited and confident to contribute to my family\u2019s farming business.\u2019
\nMaham Nabeel, Head of Legal at AGTL, emphasized the importance of women\u2019s inclusion in agriculture: \u201cEmpowerment and inclusivity are more than just buzzwords\u2014they are essential drivers of innovation and progress.

\nThe Minister of Agriculture, Anti-Corruption, Sports, and Youth Affairs, Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar, also addressed the event, highlighting the importance of such initiatives.
\nHe stated, \u201cWomen are the backbone of rural development, and it is crucial that we support these initiatives. We are aiming to work on policies to subsidize tractors for women, empowering them to use these machines on their own farms or rent them out to others. The progress we seek can be achieved through a strong partnership between the private sector and the government.\u201d
\nCertificates were awarded to participants, marking the successful completion of the workshop and celebrating their achievements. The event concluded with a collective commitment to continue supporting women\u2019s empowerment in agriculture.
