The Special Advisor to Prime Minister for Youth Affairs, Usman Dar, has returned with another banger. Even though the youth of Pakistan continues to suffer from mass unemployment, good days might be on the cards. Usman Dar has openly been promoting the Kamyab Jawan Programme and others of similar nature.
Usman Dar promised that the social and economic growth of Pakistan’s youth stood as the number 1 priority of the government. It was due to this rhetoric, along with catching crooks of corruption, that the PTI won 2018’s controversial elections. To back that, the PTI is giving loans worth Rs 10 billion to the youth of the country.
