Karachi: Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Senator Rubina Khalid, held an important meeting today with the Sindh Education and Literacy Minister, Syed Sardar Ali Shah, at his office. The discussion focused on the skill development of BISP beneficiaries, the allocation of campsites in schools during BISP’s quarterly payment disbursements, and the promotion of technical and vocational education in the province.
Also present were the Secretary of School Education, Zahid Ali Abbasi, BISP Sindh Director General Zulfiqar Ali Shaikh, and other senior officials.
During the meeting, Chairperson BISP emphasized that the program is working on various initiatives related to skill development and technical education to enable beneficiary families to become self-sufficient through technical training.
