Syed Imran Ahmed Shah, the Federal Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety, has announced further scholarships for Balochistan's women students.

The minister emphasized the value of education, national cohesion, and earnest efforts as crucial components for the nation's peace and development while speaking at a seminar titled "Sustainable Environment for Women Entrepreneurs." He connected these principles to the genuine essence of Paigham-e-Pakistan, a national narrative that emphasizes wealth, inclusivity, and peace.

Several important dignitaries attended the seminar, including Mr. Nadir Gul Barech, CEO of the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund (PPAF); Speaker of the Balochistan Assembly Captain (R) Abdul Khaliq Achakzai; Provincial Education Minister Ms. Raheela Hameed Durrani; and Minister of State for Education and Vocational Training Ms. Wajiha Qamar.

Speaking to the audience, Shah reaffirmed his commitment to Balochistan and said he would sacrifice his life to ensure the province's and the nation's growth and prosperity.

Under Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's direction, he underlined, his goal is in line with the idea that "a prosperous Balochistan is a developed Pakistan."

Particularly, scholarships for students at Girls College Pishin, Girls College Quetta, and Balochistan University were announced.

Shah emphasized that Paigham-e-Pakistan is a cohesive national message that asks for a peaceful, terror-free nation where province autonomy is respected and young people, particularly women, are educated and empowered. It is not just a phrase.

Pakistan is a nuclear power, but its unity and the disciplined resolve of its military forces are its real strengths, he said. Under Prime Minister Modi, he blasted India's regional aspirations, saying that they would fail against a strong Pakistan.

According to Shah, who cited the Islamic philosopher Imam Al-Ghazali, "Knowledge without sincerity is a loss; a life without knowledge is no different from death." He urged humility and group effort, lamenting that even if the nation has knowledge, it frequently fails because of a lack of sincerity.

Calling the Baloch people "very close to my heart," the minister paid heartfelt homage to them as he wrapped up his speech, promising to keep working for their advancement and inclusion in the country's progress.
