LAHORE - Provincial Minister for Industries, Commerce & Investment Ch. Muhammad Shafiq said that youth must be lured to get technical training to take part in the socio-economic development of the country and eradication of unemployment and poverty alleviation. Govt of the Punjab expects best results, in this regard, from Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA). It is because the only empowered body having such capabilities is TEVTA in Punjab.
