Islamabad: Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Faisal Karim Kundi on Tuesday held meeting with former federal minister Jahangir Khan Tareen here and discussed the country’s overall situation, national affairs and matters relating to public welfare.
Minister of State for Overseas Pakistanis Awn Chaudhry was also present during the meeting.
Governor Kundi appreciated Jahangir Tareen’s contributions to the development of the Saraiki region, particularly in the fields of education and social welfare.
He lauded the initiatives of the Tareen Education Foundation for promoting quality education, improving public schools, enhancing teachers’ professional capacity and providing better educational opportunities to students in underdeveloped areas.
The Governor said education was the foundation of sustainable development and prosperity, adding that the experience of institutions like the Tareen Education Foundation could benefit other parts of the country.
He expressed the hope that the foundation would expand the scope of its education and social welfare projects, aligned with the requirements of the modern IT era, to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially its remote and underdeveloped districts, enabling youth to access quality education and better opportunities.
