At the age of 23, Rao Talha Javed from Lodhran has distinguished himself as the youngest Assistant Commissioner in Pakistan, setting a remarkable precedent for aspiring civil servants across the nation.
Currently posted in the Inland Revenue Service, Javed assumed his position after successfully completing the rigorous 51st Common Training Program (CTP), which is designed to prepare newly inducted civil servants for key administrative roles.
