LAHORE: Punjab Minister for Industry and Commerce Mian Aslam
Iqbal has said that Government Technical Training Institute for Women at
Sabzazar is an invaluable gift of the PTI government to the people of the
area.
Addressing the public meeting after laying the foundation stone of the
Technical Training Institute for Women here on Sunday, he said that the
institute will be a state of the art on 14 kanal land and the project will
be completed in a record time of one year. A variety of skills will be
taught to the students in the college. A display center will be set up in
the college for the sale of products made by the students. Students will be
offered advanced courses in dress designing and making, digital social media
marketing and commercial arts and graphics.
Mian Aslam Iqbal said that we have built not only roads and bridges but also
educational institutions for the children of the nation. The health card
will be received every citizen of Punjab. The government revolutionized the
health sector by providing modern treatment facilities to poor patients
through Health Card. He said that welfare schemes are being introduced for
the disabled and senior citizens and the Ehsas Ration Card Scheme has been
started to provide relief to the poor families.
The provincial minister said that in the last 72 years no one thought of
cultivating imported goods in the country, the present government is
bringing revolutionary schemes for the promotion of industry and
agriculture. Those who took five turns did not think of the welfare of the
people. Rs 300 billion spent on Orange Line Metro train, repayment of loan
for the project will increase financial difficulties. The former rulers
planned to get kickbacks instead of welfare schemes. The PTI government has
taken a step towards establishing a welfare state by launching real public
welfare projects, he said, adding that under the leadership of Prime
Minister Imran Khan, the goal of an Islamic welfare state would be achieved.
Chairman TEVTA Ali Salman Siddique gave briefing regarding the project and
said that TEVTA is establishing a comprehensive technical college in
Sabzazar where world class courses will be taught to female students. TEVTA
officials, PTI leaders and a large number of people attended the meeting.
