The Special Communications Organization (SCO) has launched a new freelancing hub in Tallu, a remote area of Roundu tehsil in Skardu district, marking a significant development in Gilgit-Baltistan's IT infrastructure expansion.
The establishment of this facility, equipped with modern technology resources, is part of SCO's IT Vision 2025 initiative, which focuses on developing IT centers and freelancing hubs throughout Gilgit-Baltistan's remote regions.
This new hub is designed to serve both young men and women of the area, providing them with essential resources to participate in the digital economy. The primary objective is to create opportunities in areas with limited traditional employment options by connecting local talent to global markets through online platforms.
The initiative aims to enable residents to generate income through digital means while contributing to the national economy. The facility offers a platform for accessing international markets and developing digital skills necessary for online business operations.
Local community leaders and youth representatives have acknowledged the efforts to bring modern telecommunications and IT facilities to remote areas of Gilgit-Baltistan. The project represents a collaborative effort between the Pakistan Army and SCO to expand digital infrastructure in the region.
The freelancing hub is expected to serve as a model for similar facilities planned across other remote areas of Gilgit-Baltistan, as part of the organization's broader vision for digital inclusion and economic development in the region.
