Investments are down due to lawlessness and terrorism, said Sarwar aiming to improve this situation.
Seven million children are out of school in Pakistan, and with the help of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, one million children will be put into schools every year, he added.
Having served in British Parliament is not a deterrent, added Sarwar, who gave up his British nationality to become Governor.
Sarwar was recommended by the prime minister and appointed governor by President Asif Ali Zardari.

Arid Agriculture University of Rawalpindi has already taken thousands of kanals of rich agriculture land of villege Koont, payment made to the these ordinary farmers was 60% less that the original value of this land. Now the university is trying to grab more land, this includes houses of villegers and rich agriculture land. Please take notice of this matter as it is really a matter of roti for hundreds of ordinary farmers.
Honourable governor plz reinstate the Aitchison teachers.plz without any reason they were sacked,for God sake,Govt should take some action.
Congratulations to Punjab on appointment of the viceroy !!
Welcome Sir! Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar is a great example for overseas Pakistanis who want to do something for their motherland. Unfortunately, Pakistan has been bitten by imported PMs like Moeen Qureshi who was given NIC when he was sitting in the aircraft at Islamabad Airport in 1993 to takeover as caretaker PM. Then there was a bad experience of Shaukat Aziz, imported as FM in 1999 and the his benefactor Dictator elevated him to PM in 2004. Shaukat Aziz has been absconding since he left the Prime Minister House in 2007. The incumbent Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad is not a good example since he has been drawing state expenses from the British Government: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1491860/Pakistani-politician-got-paid-1000-a-month-in-UK-benefits.html while he was still in the Governor House at the expense of Pakistani taxpayers.
Improve public transportation. Also, why does Pakistan not introduce e-bikes?
Wish him all the best. Two and two makes four, joining hands with CM,this man can change the fate of rural Panjabies too
enrollment of 1 million children per year is an over ambitious target. I hope they do achieve it!
@Sodomite: What has the Sindh Govt done for Karachi? You expect Punjab Govt' to do your for you while your Mr. Qaim Ali shah sleeps?
Punjab Govt has done ALOT for its people. there is no comparison!
ET Asif Ali Zardari is still the incumbent President and not former. Kindly correct yourself. His tenure will end in September.
Zardari is not the former president until Mamnoon Hussain takes oath. Please correct the last sentence.
Newly appointed Governor of Punjab Ch. Muhammad Sarwar is going in the right direction.
May Al-Mighty Allah be with him. AMEEN.
Is he going to do that with his own money?? Punjab Govt loves big projects and tax citizens. If and when the situation in KHI improves, people will move back from the arbitrary rule of Sharifs.
