Peshawar
\nSpecial Assistant to the Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Science and Information Technology, Dr. Shafqat Ayaz, has said that if the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa understand the importance of Information Technology, acquire modern digital skills, and work hard in the tech field, they can change their lives ultimately becoming a source of pride not only for themselves but for all of Pakistan.
\nHe said the present era belongs to IT, and nations investing in this sector are rapidly leading the global race for progress. Dr. Ayaz urged young people not to use mobile phones and the internet merely for entertainment, but to turn them into tools for learning and earning.
\nHe added that this vision was set forth by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan, who emphasized youth empowerment through education, skills, and self-reliance. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Ali Amin Khan Gandapur, the provincial government is taking revolutionary steps to promote IT and technology across the province.
\nDr. Shafqat Ayaz noted that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government is launching digital platforms, IT parks, freelancing training, and skill development programs so that young people can earn respectable incomes from the comfort of their homes.
\nHe concluded by saying that IT is our future, and youth must seize this opportunity and start preparing today for the world of tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
