Addressing the participants, Governor of State Bank Of Pakistan Dr. Reza Baqir after congratulating the winners, praised the improvements occurring in the performances of State Bank Of Pakistan including other banks. He said that owing to the covid-19 challenges, all the banking institutions worked associatively and successfully improved the economy of Pakistan. What kind of improvement has been born in Pakistan? The country is struggling hard to recover from economic decline and this fact is known by every child of this state. If talking about Sindh, the province is shortening jobs and employment opportunities for the young generation, What has been so called improved economy doing in the province? No one can answer. Banks are the bedrocks of a country’s prosperity and happiness. Such winners had only succeeded in growing GDP of Pakistan, but unfortunately, no employment opportunities coming slowly or rapidly from banks in Sindh. The hope remains only in God. The banks should welcome the employment opportunities without any experience for Masters Students particularly. Experiences required in banking institutions are the biggest hurdles in the way of masters students.
