On Thursday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif gave the go-ahead to develop a programme that would hire sportsmen through government departments in order to protect their finances and advance sports in the nation. He assigned Rana Mashhood, the Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, the responsibility of personally supervising the policy and guaranteeing its execution in a week. The prime minister was speaking during a celebration of the Pakistani hockey team’s accomplishment, which included winning a silver medal in the 30th Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2024 final in Malaysia. According to PM Sharif, employment will allow athletes to focus on their sport by relieving them of the burden of providing for their families.
