Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday (October 17, 2019) launched Kamyab Jawan Program, one of incumbent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s flagship initiatives, as part of his vision of creating 10 million jobs.
Prepared under the National Youth Development Framework, the Prime Minister’s Kamyab Jawan program revolves around six thematic areas; mainstreaming marginalized youth, employment and economic empowerment, civic engagement, social protection, health and wellbeing, and youth-focused institutional reforms.
The Kamyab Jawan program has been developed in collaboration with three main departments, namely Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF) which will look after the asset transfer program and the interest free loan program and State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) along with three Major Banks (National Bank of Pakistan, Bank of Punjab and Bank of Khyber) and Small and Medium Enterprise Authority (SMEDA).
Under the banner of Kamyab Jawan, the PM’s Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme has been developed enabling the youth to get loans up to Rs 5,000,000.
