ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan today (Friday) has asserted that there is a need to focus on improving the education sector in the country which is vital for national development.

The premier further said that apart from technical education, special programs were also being launched in the universities to acquaint the youth about Islamic values and teachings of Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W).
“The government is giving special emphasis to industrialization as well as the agriculture and tourism sectors to take forward the country. A new policy is being brought next week about the agriculture sector,” he announced.
The Prime Minister pointed out that PTI assumed power in the most difficult economic situation. “We have returned almost thirty-five thousand billion rupees in loans over the last two and a half years,” he claimed.
Pointing out the development projects, he said that the government has launched mega projects such as Ravi city and Business district in Lahore for wealth creation. “Investors are also showing great interest in Bundal Island project. We have started work Mohmand and Basha dams,” he added.
