The Punjab government has initiated its Parwaaz Card scheme, successfully dispatching the first cohort of 135 skilled workers to Saudi Arabia. These individuals were selected from across the province and have received training to meet Saudi employment standards. The program aims to address unemployment in Punjab by facilitating overseas employment opportunities, particularly in the Kingdom. The initiative provides financial assistance for travel and visa expenses, easing the burden on prospective workers. Saudi officials expressed satisfaction with the program’s initial phase and anticipate further collaboration to recruit skilled labor from Punjab. This deployment marks a significant step in the Punjab government’s efforts to connect its workforce with international job markets and boost remittances. The Parwaaz Card scheme intends to streamline the emigration process and ensure the welfare of Punjabi workers abroad.
