Sindh Governor Launches Free IT Training in Hyderabad
On July 19, Sindh Governor Muhammad Kamran Khan Tessori announced expanding a free Information Technology training program to Hyderabad, aiming to bolster the country’s economy and reduce its dependence on international financial aid.
At the launch event, Governor Tessori highlighted the program’s success in Karachi and outlined plans to extend it to other cities, including Sukkur, Mirpurkhas, Larkana, and Shaheed Benazirabad. The Hyderabad initiative, part of the Governor Sindh IT Initiative Program, aims to equip 50,000 young people with skills in artificial intelligence and other IT fields through a three-day entry test.
Governor Tessori emphasized the potential for online employment and economic stability for graduates, citing the high cost of comparable IT courses—approximately $6,000 per student—which the program offers for free. He stressed the importance of the IT sector’s growth, comparing Pakistan’s relatively low IT exports to those of neighboring countries.
Dignitaries like the Head of Selani International Trust, Molana Bashir Ahmed Farooqi, and Commissioner Hyderabad Bilal Ahmed Memon attended the event. Governor Tessori concluded his remarks by expressing confidence in the youth’s potential and reiterating his commitment to public service.
The initiative is expected to train one million young people, potentially contributing significantly to Pakistan’s development. Following discussions with Dell Pakistan’s CEO, Tessori mentioned plans to distribute free laptops.
Before the entry test, Governor Tessori expressed his gratitude to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) officials, representatives Selani, and Mayor Kashif Shoro for their support in this educational endeavor. He highlighted the economic impetus behind the program, stating that 50,000 students in Hyderabad would now follow the 50,000 already enrolled in Karachi.
Regarding funding, Tessori assured that neither the Sindh government nor the Governor House would bear the expenses, which he and his friends would cover. He announced plans to extend the program to Sukkur, Mirpurkhas, and Larkana, following Hyderabad.
In closing, Tessori underscored the importance of economic development over armed conflict and encouraged the students to pursue their career goals with determination.
