Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has commended the Punjab Information Technology Board's (PITB) digital programme for women's financial empowerment.
She stated, "Integrated digital collaboration of Modern Skills Training Centres in every district of Punjab under the 'SheWins' programme is under way for women's financial independence and empowerment through e-commerce, social media marketing, content creation and other training courses."
She said women across Punjab were showing great interest in the programme for moving towards financial independence.
Under the platform, there are ample opportunities for skilled women in every district by allowing them access to relevant markets.
She explained, "Training, legal guidance and leadership opportunities are available to university students at Women Development Centres across Punjab."
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said the centres were providing women a safe environment in every campus of Punjab and the training increases their independence and self-confidence.
Meanwhile, paying tribute to the donors on the World Blood Donor Day, the chief minister said, "A coordinated system has been developed in Punjab for the timely supply of healthy blood."
She said Punjab had established Pakistan's first regular virtual blood bank that allows the needy patients to contact the donors.
