He expressed these views while holding a joint press conference with SACM Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan in Arifa Kareem Park here on Thursday.

The PITB is providing assistance to other provinces in different fields. To a question, Minister higher education said that “we have no plan to close Punjab Higher Education commission rather we are struggling to enhance the standard of education in Punjab with a positive collaboration and support of PHEC and Higher Education Department Punjab,”.

Raja Yassir said that now the citizens can get a birth, death marriage, and other certificates without wasting money and time at their doorstep.
He said that for the facilitation of overseas we have offered different online facilities for them. Furthermore, we are offering training courses for online business which will be helpful for the youth to start their own online business.
With the help of E. Transfer App now teachers both from school and college education can apply for their transfers online without visiting offices, giving bribes, or getting favours of politicians. He hoped that with help of all these steps we will make Pakistan a developed and prosperous country.
