Islamabad: Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Senator Rubina Khalid in a meeting with the Managing Director Pakistan Bait-ul-Mal (PBM) Senator Shaheen Khalid Butt on Tuesday discussed avenues of mutual cooperation in welfare initiatives for the socio-economic uplift of disadvantaged communities.

During the meeting held at the PBM office, Senator Rubina Khalid congratulated Shaheen Khalid Butt on assuming the charge of MD Bait-ul-Mal and expressed her hope for strengthening collaboration between the two organizations.

The meeting focused on data sharing of deserving individuals through the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER), skill development programs under the Benazir Hunarmand Program, and future welfare projects.

Senator Rubina Khalid said that BISP is set to launch the Benazir Hunarmand Program to provide certified skill training to eligible individuals, enabling them to secure international employment opportunities.
