ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said that his government was committed to the development of Balochistan with a resolve to bring it at par with the developed areas of the country.
Talking to a group of students from Loralai District at the Prime Minister’s House, Nawaz Sharif said that over the years Balochistan was neglected, adding that the province was not only rich in natural resources but also had an equally talented youth.
He said that the nation was proud of its young generation that would help Pakistan get its rightful place in the comity of nations with honour and dignity.
The prime minister said that the government would put in all resources to ensure that the children of Balochistan get quality education. He asked the students to focus on their education and lauded their calibre.
He also listened to a number of suggestions put forth by the students in order to create a proper learning environment at the Loralai School. The prime minister announced Rs 15 million for the school and said that he would announce more funds for the students when he will visit Balochistan.
He asked the students to study hard as their parents, despite their limited resources, were spending huge amount of money on their education and grooming. He also asked the school authorities to provide scholarships to the outstanding students.
The prime minister said that the young students were the future of the country and would bring a good name to the nation, adding that the children of Balochistan were equally good as compared to others across the country and assured them that they would be provided with the best possible facilities. Nawaz Sharif directed Senator Sardar Yaqoob Nasir to submit a report to him for and address problems of the school. Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid accompanied the prime minister.
