In a significant move to support unemployed youth in Sindh, the provincial government has announced a groundbreaking initiative to provide electric vehicle (EV) taxis on easy installment plans. This new initiative, revealed by Sindh’s Transport Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon, aims to offer a sustainable source of income to those struggling to find employment, while also contributing to a greener environment.
During a meeting with officials from an EV taxi assembly company in Karachi, Sharjeel Memon was briefed on the potential of electric vehicles to revolutionize transportation in the province. The minister emphasized that the government’s main goal is to create job opportunities for young people while supporting the transition to eco-friendly modes of transport. He highlighted that the program will help the youth earn a living while reducing the carbon footprint, in line with Sindh’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.
The government is focusing on making the EV taxis accessible to the unemployed by offering them on affordable installment plans. This approach allows young people, who may not have the financial means to purchase a vehicle upfront, to still benefit from this opportunity. Sharjeel Memon has instructed the Secretary of Transport to work with various banks and financial institutions to create flexible financing options to support the program.
This initiative is expected to provide a boost to the local economy by not only helping individuals find employment but also by promoting the use of electric vehicles in Sindh. The move aligns with global efforts to reduce pollution and embrace cleaner, greener energy sources. As a result, the program will not only provide economic benefits to the youth but also contribute to a healthier environment for everyone.
The introduction of EV taxis is seen as a step forward in promoting both employment and sustainability in the region. The project will empower young people by giving them the tools to start their own businesses while making a positive impact on the environment. It’s a win-win for the unemployed youth and the broader community.
