 Introduction

The Institute of Continuing Education & Extension (ICE&E) continues to reaffirm its commitment to advancing vocational excellence, professional capacity building, and technical education in alignment with Pakistan’s national development priorities. During the reporting period (1 July 2023 – 30 June 2025), ICE&E successfully implemented several high-impact training initiatives funded by the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) under the Prime Minister’s Youth Skill Development Program (PMYSDP), along with specialized capacity-building projects supported by the Livestock & Dairy Development Department (L&DD), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

A significant milestone during this period was ICE&E’s success in promoting educational accessibility and merit-based support through the award of 345 scholarships worth PKR 35 million under the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund (PEEF). This achievement reflects the Institute’s steadfast dedication to empowering deserving students, fostering academic excellence, and contributing to the national vision of inclusive and sustainable human resource development.

More than 186 trainees successfully completed specialized training programs in diverse areas such as animal disease control, artificial insemination, dairy farm management, and fish farming.

Key outcomes include:

  1. Enhanced employability, entrepreneurship, and sustainable agriculture practices among trainees.
  2. Strengthened institutional collaboration with NAVTTC, L&DD, and other public sector partners to ensure skills development initiatives remain aligned with national priorities.
