Govt to establish 10,000 e-Rozgaar centres

ISLAMABAD: The government, in collaboration with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), plans to establish around 10,000 e-Rozgaar centres across the country to facilitate freelancers under one roof.

“E-Rozgaar centres, already established by the government, are providing top-notch facilities to freelancers, including high-speed internet, UPS, training centres, individual cabins, meeting rooms, and separate office rooms for start-ups,” said an official of the Ministry of Information Technology.

He said that the government has fulfilled its promise to the people by enabling a significant number of the existing 1.5 million freelancers, along with new freelancers, to work independently at very low rates, the official news agency reported.

He expressed the hope that with the completion of this major project, IT exports would soon increase by $10 billion annually. Through public-private partnerships, these centres will also significantly enhance the capacity and income of freelancers.

The official further said that the PSEB will provide freelancers with the necessary technical support for these centres.

“We have taken all the required steps to build a robust digital ecosystem in Pakistan, and we are leveraging all available forums to establish Pakistan as an international ‘Technology Destination’,” he added.
