In October last year, the Fauji Foundation had sought to form a joint venture with the Quetta Chamber of Commerce and Industry (QCCI) to equip the youth of Baluchistan with modern skills to tap the natural resources of the province.
Addressing the QCCI members, Fauji Foundation Consultant Col (retd) Syed Ameer Haider had said, “Baluchistan needs technicians, not technology.” He had said that modern technical skills were vital for boosting private industries in the province.
Fauji Foundation’s aim is to provide and generate funds for the welfare and benefits of ex-servicemen, their families, and the underprivileged public in disconnected areas.
“Ninety percent of the skilled staff in the industries belongs to other provinces, which is making it hard for private industries in Baluchistan to run and function properly,” he said, urging to impart modern technical training to the young generation of the province after secondary education.
“The Fauji Foundation should establish units for upgradation of mines, fruit, and vegetables which would be helpful to strengthen the provincial economy,” said the consultant.
The Fauji Foundation is one of the largest financial services and one of the largest energy conglomerates in Pakistan, with interests in fertilizer, cement, food, power generation, gas exploration, LPG marketing and distribution, financial services, employment services, and security services.
