JS Bank, UNDP sign MoU to enhance youth empowerment

on 03/04/2019

United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Pakistan and JS Bank have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop a framework for supporting micro-entrepreneurial initiatives initiated under the framework of the UNDP’s Kamyab Jawan – Youth Empowerment Program (YEP).
“The Kamyab Jawan – Youth Empowerment Program is supporting the government in developing innovative and sustainable entry points for the social and economic engagement and empowerment of young people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh,” said a press release.
One of the key components of the program was to support young motivated micro-entrepreneurs because entrepreneurship was the most viable option not just to create employment for youth but to spur economic growth in the country, it added.
Under this MoU, JS Bank and UNDP would work together to enhance the business management skills of existing and aspiring young microentrepreneurs in the regions of Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well as educate them on the availability of relevant financial products. Efforts would also be made to provide the right financial offerings to interested and relevant customers, it said.
Speaking on the occasion, Group Head, Investment Banking & Emerging Business JS Bank, Tahir Sheikh said, “The Bank has a well-thought strategy for undertaking grass root support for entrepreneurs and promoting financial inclusion amongst the masses. This new alliance is a far-reaching step along this path and we foresee this as having a highly beneficial long term impact.”
Resident Representative UNDP Pakistan Ignacio Artaza said “UNDP aims to improve the socio-economic status of the youth by providing them with skills that increase their employment options and encouraging micro-entrepreneurship. Ensuring the financial inclusion of youth is a national priority and this partnership will provide a useful framework for that.”
Both parties expressed their hope that this was only the beginning of a productive and beneficial partnership between the two. — APP.

He said the youth of Balochistan deserve more attention if national and international institutions want to see micro level Socio-economic development in the province.
The commercial institutions like banks should draw strategy which should include national interests and balance among federating units of the country.

He also expressed his concern about the seriousness of federal and provincial governments who do not monitor such agreements.
Mr. Popalzai also criticized the national and provincial leadership for not engaging in such activities in the interest of the province. – Monitoring Desk

The birth of NUST Formula Student Team

on 03/04/2019

While living in Pakistan, we often see many talented individuals who do not live up to their potential. The reason is the lack of opportunities, resources and suitable platforms for them to cash their talent in.
Because of the absence of reputable organizations to oversee such things, people do not pursue their interests as they feel that there is no fortune in it. Like the kids in a Liyari, who have very good football skills but they are not able to make the headlines due to unavailability of financial backing.
Similarly, there will be many more cases when hobbyists give up their interests for some unmanageable circumstances, but the students from NUST think differently. Thus, they aimed to manufacture a Formula-style race car to compete in the world’s largest students engineering competition called as Formula Student.
To follow their dream, they had to overcome many obstacles; needed to formulate the car within the requirements of the competition which was a tough task considering the engineering approach in Pakistan.
Furthermore, lots of money had to be arranged to carry out the manufacturing of the vehicle and, to ship it to the United Kingdom where the competition was being held.
This is where the real deal started. These engineering students formed their marketing wing which worked day and night for raising sponsorships for this project. This led to the birth of NUST Formula Student Team, which consisted of all-rounder members who looked after both engineering and financial matters.
With a continuous struggle, this young team contrived Pakistan’s first ever Formula Student car, and successfully flew with it to the UK to participate in the competition. There was no organization which could supervise them thus they became an organization themselves, setting up an example for everyone to chase their dreams against all odds. They showed their countrymen that everything is possible once you set your eyes on your aim and pledge not to give up ever.
NUST Formula Student team, which emerged in 2012 is now climbing the ladder to accomplish even more with the hope that young men and enthusiasts can follow their footsteps. (The writer is a member Marketing NUST Formula Student Team).
