Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani has said that livestock and dairy is a backbone of the province’s economy. Criticising the previous governments, he said no efforts were made in the past to develop this sector further.
“Present government is committed to developing and improving the structure of livestock and dairy,” Liaquat Shahwani said in a statement on Monday.
He stated that the University of Balochistan in Quetta is organising Livestock Expo and preparations are underway.
“Balochistan has the capacity to expand its livestock sector and all stakeholders must unite at a single platform to ensure implementation of the collective measures. The sector will contribute in the prosperity of the province,” he said.
Liaquat Shahwani briefed that the training workshops are being conducted on a divisional level by the Agriculture Academy of Balochistan, where officers of agriculture engineering, agriculture research, agriculture farms and water management will participate. The workshops will begin from Noshki (Rakhshan Division) on September 30.
“Government of Balochistan is planning to develop the agriculture sector in accordance with the modern techniques to meet the needs of the province. People will soon witness a massive improvement in the sector after the execution of the plans,” Shahwani added.
He assured that the people of the province will avail benefits under the ongoing Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP).
“Our projects are not limited to paperwork only, but will be seen implemented on the ground,” the spokesperson said. He further insisted that the present government is eager to work on least developed areas through improving health, education and irrigation sectors. “The government is recruiting on vacant posts to ensure that the youth gets employment. The process of the recruitment will be on merit only,” he maintained.
