Karachi, In an initiative aimed at increasing job opportunities for the youth, a significant job fair was held at the Expo Center in Karachi, organized by the Hindu Council and lauded by Sindh’s Minister of Energy and Development and Planning, Syed Nasir Hussain Shah. The event, which featured numerous stalls from both local and non-local companies, was designed to facilitate direct interaction between employers and potential employees.
According to Directorate General Information and PRs – Sindh, Minister Shah expressed his appreciation during his visit to the fair, emphasizing that such efforts are crucial for fulfilling the employment needs of the younger population.

In addition to discussing the job fair, Minister Shah touched upon the government’s efforts in renewable energy, particularly the development of solar parks in Karachi and Jamshoro.
