The Sindh government has unveiled a wide-ranging development agenda focused on strengthening the province’s education, health, and agriculture sectors. Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon announced the initiatives during a press briefing, outlining key actions planned for the next quarter.

4,400 New Teachers to Be Recruited

As part of its education sector reforms, the government will recruit 4,400 new teachers to address staff shortages in public schools. Four additional IBA-run community colleges will also be established to expand access to quality higher education in underserved districts.

In a move to promote school-level accountability and efficiency, over 34,000 government schools across Sindh will be granted financial autonomy. This will allow school administrators to directly manage budgets and daily operations based on local needs.

To support students from low-income families, the Sindh Education Endowment Fund will issue a new round of scholarships, ensuring that financial hardship does not stand in the way of higher education.

Rs. 326.5 Billion Allocated for Health Services

In the health sector, the government has earmarked Rs. 326.5 billion for urgent development and service expansion. Key projects include upgrades at major institutions such as SIUT, NICVD, Chandka Medical College Hospital, and PPHI centers. Improved ambulance services are also on the agenda, with a focus on remote and underserved regions.

Subsidies for 200,000 Farmers Underway

Under the Benazir Hari Card initiative, a new phase of agricultural support has begun, providing direct subsidies to 200,000 farmers to help boost productivity and resilience.

Minister Memon emphasized that these steps are part of the Sindh government’s broader push to stimulate economic revival and improve access to essential services for citizens. He noted that the provincial leadership remains focused on delivering results, especially for vulnerable communities.
