Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz
Speaking about the programme, CM Maryam Nawaz stated that the agriculture internship not only helps farmers but also ensures dignified employment for educated youth. She highlighted that the Kisan Card program has already set new benchmarks of success in Punjab.
Maryam Nawaz further added that ongoing projects like the Green Tractors Scheme and Tube Well Solarization Program are progressing smoothly. Additionally, a Model Agriculture Mall is being established to provide all farmer-related services under one roof.
This initiative is not just about internships — it’s a multi-layered strategy to uplift both young professionals and the agricultural economy. With generous stipends, district-level access, and support services, the program offers real-time skill development, income support, and a direct connection between educated youth and rural farming needs. Punjab’s agriculture sector appears to be undergoing a policy-driven modernization under Maryam Nawaz’s leadership.
