Purpose and Vision of the Youth Card
The core aim of the Sindh Youth Card is to ensure that the youth are not left behind in decision-making, policy implementation, and access to opportunities. Speaking during the session, Minister Bakhsh Mahar stated:
“The Youth Card is not just a plastic card. It is a bridge and a channel that will connect our young population directly to the heart of government policy.”
With this card, eligible youth will be able to:
- Receive financial support for education or vocational training
- Access employment resources and job placement programs
- Enroll in skill-building workshops and career guidance sessions

11 Youth Development Centers to be Established
Another key announcement made by the minister was the establishment of 11 Youth Development Centers across Sindh within this year. These centers will serve as the foundation for all youth-related activities and services, including:
- Counseling and mentorship programs
- Skill and technical training workshops
- Startup and entrepreneurship support
- Mental health and career development services
These centers will be especially valuable for youth living in remote and underserved areas, providing on-ground access to training and opportunities they might otherwise never receive.
Direct Access to Bilawal Bhutto Zardari: A New Model of Governance?
Perhaps the most innovative and inspiring aspect of this program is the direct communication channel with PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
In traditional systems, it’s nearly impossible for a student or a young worker from a rural area to reach top leadership. But through the Youth Card, that barrier is being removed. According to the minister, all Youth Card holders will have a system through which they can share feedback, report issues, or suggest ideas directly to Chairman Bilawal.
This will allow the leadership to make more informed, youth-driven decisions and encourage young citizens to feel genuinely heard and valued.

Government Support for Young Talent & Sports
Sardar Muhammad Bakhsh Mahar also emphasized the ongoing support provided to young athletes and sports talent across Sindh. He said the government has already helped many players and will continue to provide financial assistance and infrastructure for youth-led sports initiatives.
This holistic approach combining education, employment, skills, and sports shows the government’s intent to uplift youth from all angles.
Proposals to Reform Education: Agriculture and Quran Education with Translation
In addition to youth development, the minister proposed two powerful reforms in the education sector:
- Inclusion of Agriculture in the Academic Curriculum
This aims to make young people aware of the importance of farming a sector that remains the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. - Teaching of the Quran with Translation in Schools
To ensure students receive not only religious but also ethical and moral education, he suggested that every child should be taught the Quran in a language they understand.
Both proposals were widely appreciated and are likely to influence future curriculum planning in Sindh.
