Prime Minister Imran Khan launched on Thursday “Digital Pakistan”, a Government’s initiative aimed at introducing the latest technology for public welfare.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony in Islamabad, the premier said the campaign will “unleash the youth’s potential” in the country.
“E-governance is necessary to curb corruption, which is rampant across the country at all levels, and this initiative will ease the lives of the citizens,” he said. “Our government will put all-out efforts to promote Digital Pakistan. The future of Pakistan is very exciting.”
Launching ‘Digital Pakistan Vision’ at a ceremony here, the prime minister termed it a big opportunity for the nation, saying the introduction of e-governance in government departments would eradicate corruption from the country.
He said that the e-governance in public sector institutions would help accelerate the processes and provide facilitation to the public.
The premier expressed the determination that any resistance in the digitalization of the economy would be overcome, adding that the government inherited record fiscal, trade and current deficits with rupee facing pressure and institutions in disarray.
“With the hard work and tough decisions are taken, the situation of the economy has improved and has been acknowledged by international financial institutions,” he said, adding that that digitalization would also help in providing jobs to our youth and spur their creative abilities. The PM continued that developments in the digital the arena were taking place at a fast pace, and in the times to come everything would be done through a mobile phone.
Digital Pakistan Vision sets Pakistan’s digital ambition and has been designed for the government and the private sector to work towards a digitally progressive and inclusive country.

The vision brings together multiple initiatives that the government has already kicked off, and identifies additional focus areas that it will initiate in the coming months.
Its strategic pillars include access and connectivity, digital infrastructure, digital skilling and literacy, innovation and entrepreneurship.
These pillars, supported by a forward-looking policy and a broader legal framework, will set us on the path to becoming a truly Digital Pakistan.
