KARACHI – September 18, 2025: In a significant step toward prisoner rehabilitation, the Sindh Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (STEVTA) and the Sindh Prisons Department have agreed to collaborate on skill development programs for inmates.
Special Assistant to the Sindh Chief Minister, Junaid Buland, held a meeting with Inspector General of Sindh Prisons, Fida Hussain Mastoi, at his office where the initiative was formally discussed.
Under the “Paigham-e-Pakistan” framework, the program aims to provide vocational training to prisoners during incarceration and open employment opportunities for them after release. Officials emphasized that equipping inmates with technical education would not only support their rehabilitation but also reduce the chances of reoffending, turning them into productive members of society.
