Islamabad: The Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP) has extended the deadline for applications for the fourth batch of the Prime Minister’s National Youth Council (PMNYC) to August 31, inviting talented and committed Pakistanis aged 15 to 29 from across the country and overseas to join the youth advisory platform and contribute to national policymaking.
Approved by the Federal Cabinet, the PMNYC serves as an advisory council to the prime minister on youth affairs, providing young leaders an opportunity to participate in policy discussions and contribute to national development.
The selected members will serve a two-year term on the Youth Advisory Board established under the PMYP and work with relevant government institutions on youth-focused policies and initiatives.
The council will engage young people in key areas including education, employment and entrepreneurship, skills development, climate change, green economy, digital innovation, civic engagement, social welfare, community development, sports and culture.
The PMYP said the selection process would be transparent, merit-based and inclusive, with representation of men, women, transgender persons, persons with disabilities, religious minorities and youth from diverse social and economic backgrounds.
Young Pakistanis from Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, Islamabad, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, as well as Pakistani communities abroad, are eligible to apply.
The council will also provide young people with an opportunity to strengthen their leadership skills, engage directly with government institutions and present practical policy recommendations for Pakistan’s sustainable development.
Applications can be submitted through the Digital Youth Hub (DYH) by accessing the PMYP portal or downloading the DYH mobile application. Applicants are required to log in and complete the online application form before the revised deadline of August 31.
The PMYP has urged all eligible young Pakistanis to avail themselves of the extended deadline and play an active role in shaping policies and initiatives for a stronger, empowered and prosperous Pakistan.
