Making people economically self-reliant top priority: PM June 10, 2021 Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that besides providing financial assistance to the downtrodden segments, the present government’s foremost priority is to make the people economically self-reliant. “It is for the first time in Pakistan that a comprehensive strategy has been formulated to steer the economically weaker segments of society out of poverty,” the prime minister said while presiding over a high-level meeting of Kamyab Pakistan Programme here. He also cited the examples of China and India and said that unlike India which failed, China successfully steered millions of people out of poverty during the last 30 years.
