The Pakistan Army has set up a freelancing hub in Astore District, Gilgit-Baltistan, marking a significant development for the region's youth. The facility, established at the Government Boys High School, is designed to provide students with access to digital skills training and online work opportunities.
This initiative, spearheaded by the Pakistan Armed Forces in collaboration with the Special Communications Organization (SCO), addresses the previously unmet need for such resources in the area. The Information Technology teacher at the school highlighted the positive impact this platform is expected to have on students' future prospects.
Local residents and young people have expressed gratitude towards the Pakistan Army and the Chief of Army Staff for introducing this resource. The hub is anticipated to create employment opportunities for many young individuals in the district.
The establishment of this freelancing center aligns with broader efforts to enhance digital literacy and economic opportunities in Gilgit-Baltistan, a region known for its natural beauty.
