Peshawar: In a powerful stride toward digital empowerment, the Aziz Jan Trust, in partnership with Saylani Welfare International, hosted the Entry Test for Batch 4 and the Graduation Ceremony for Batches 2 & 3 of the Mohsin & Huma Mass IT Training Centre at Sheraz Gathering, Peshawar.
A record 8,000 young aspirants competed in four shifts for 2,000 fully funded seats in high-demand IT programs such as Python, Cloud Computing, Web and Mobile Development, Graphic Design, Video Animation, and Digital Marketing all provided free of cost, making world-class digital education accessible to all.
The event also celebrated the success of Batches 2 and 3, whose graduates are already earning locally and internationally. Several male and female graduates shared powerful success stories, crediting the program for launching careers, building confidence, and enabling financial independence.
Delivering an inspiring address, Mr. Afan Aziz, Chairman-Aziz Jan Trust stated:
“Two years ago, a seed was planted- today, it stands as a thriving tree. Congratulations to all graduates on this achievement.”
“Though I come from manufacturing industry, not IT, I believe no other field offers the kind of rapid progress and global opportunity that Information technology does. After meeting Maulana Bashir Farooqui and Mr. Afzal Chamdia of Seylani Welfare International in Karachi and witnessing their work, I had the desire to bring the same opportunity to the youth of Peshawar and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.”
“We will provide the opportunity but the effort and action must come from you.”
He also paid tribute to the Pakistan Army, saying:
“Our armed forces have shattered the illusions of the enemy through skill and sacrifice. Pakistan and its army are one. They are fighting the battle for our collective survival and we are proud of them.”
“Our neighbour may lack our military strength but leads significantly in IT. That’s the domain where we must now win, and we will InshaAllah”
Mr. Aziz further honored Maulana Bashir Farooqi and Afzal Chamdia of Saylani Welfare International for their tireless service to youth development in Pakistan.
Notable guests including Javaid Ali, Dr. Muneer Khattak, Shah Sawar, Abdullah Khattak, and other dignitaries attended the event, reaffirming support for this transformative mission.
Launched in September 2023, the Mohsin & Huma Mass IT Training Centre has already empowered over 4,000 graduates many now working in tech sectors or freelancing globally. The center stands as a beacon of digital literacy, skill-building, and economic upliftment.
As the philanthropic arm of the Aziz Group of Industries, the Aziz Jan Trust also operates the Aziz Jan Institute of Learning at SOS Village Peshawar, educates over 1,200 underprivileged children, provides daily meals at Lady Reading Hospital, and offers merit scholarships across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
This initiative is more than just a training program it is a movement toward a digitally empowered, self-reliant Pakistan. It proves that with vision, opportunity, and effort, national transformation is within reach.
