Prime Minister’s Kamyab Jawan Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme
To clarify, the PTI government’s top priority has been to empower the youth of Pakistan. As a result, the government committed over 110bn rupees to the flagship Kamyab Jawan Program, which will channel loans and financial aid to young Pakistanis.
In November 2021, Federal Finance Ministry chose the leading commercial banks of Pakistan for the disbursement of soft loans under the landmark Kamyab Pakistan Program (KPP).
Important to note, easy access to loans under the Kamyab Jawan Program encourages Pakistani youth to move towards self-employment. It is worth mentioning, that according to the Kamyab Jawan official website, 64,108 jobs were created.
