ISLAMABAD   -  The government is planning to offer soft loans to the labourers and returning emigrants under Youth Entrepreneurship Scheme (YES) of the Prime Minister’s Kamyab Jawan Programme. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development (OPHRD) Sayed Zulfikar Abbas Bukhari announced the initiative in a video message the other day. He said the OPHRD ministry was partnering with Kamyab Jawan Programme for launching ‘Kamyab Mazdoor’ project, aimed at providing concessionary loans to the labourers to boost Small and Medium Enterprises growth in the country. He added that it was for the first time that returning overseas labourers were also being included in this project. The SAPM said the government was striving to ameliorate socio-economic conditions of the labourers under Prime Minister Imran Khan’s vision of ‘Mazdoor Ka Ehsaas’. He urged all the provinces to step up their efforts to protect the labourers’ rights and ensure their welfare.
