PESHAWAR: Chief Minister Pervez Khattak on Tuesday assured his government was going all-out to provide resources to promising business ideas and youth would be the main beneficiaries of the widening areas to prove their worth.
The KP government has initiated a number of initiatives for the youth that included skill development, technical and professional education in the province.
This he remarked during an agreement between LUMS and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government at Chief Minister’s House here. Provincial Minister Mehmood Khan and others attended meeting. The KP government has allocated Rs 500 million for the KPIC, of which 84 percent will be given as grants directly to successful applicants and 16 percent will be used to implement the programme by LUMS SOE.
“The agreement for Youth Entrepreneurship Education Programme spells out partnership between LUMS and government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to facilitate education and entrepreneurship in KP,” said a handout.
This is a step forward Impact Challenge Program, Creating Economic Avenues, Social Impact and Entrepreneurship for youth of KP. The landmark collaboration between LUMS and the KP government aims to harness the skills, passion and commitment of largely rural KP youth and to bring them into the economic mainstream as job creators rather than future job seekers.
The programme will identify potential entrepreneurs who can be groomed, coached and developed to turn their ideas into viable, sustainable businesses.
