ISLAMABAD:
The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Economic Affairs (EAD) reviewed regional selection data for foreign training programs on Wednesday.
The meeting was chaired by Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig at Parliament.
Of the total applications received, the selected candidates included 19 from Sindh (out of 139 applications), 58 from KP (out of 178), 64 from Balochistan (out of 300), 33 from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (out of 86) and 52 from Punjab (out of 198).
After examining regional disparities, the committee asked the EAD to provide a detailed justification for Sindh’s relatively low selection rate.
