Whenever I speak at the Karigar institute I get energized by the youthful energy of students and their keen desire to learn. Almost all of the students passing out to date have either started their own business or have got jobs, some even abroad. This speaks volumes about the dedication of the Board, the Management team and the facility they have created. The institute has a well-kept clean environment with attendant discipline and focus on 5S, a la Japanese way.

I have the privilege of talking to students of each batch on ‘Motivation’ and ‘Character Building’ subjects. Each time I interact with them and share my personal experiences of life I’m very pleased to note positivity, confidence, and enthusiasm in their attitude and behavior. The credit for continued success of this institute definitely goes to dedicated work of volunteers, management, sponsors, and all those who contribute for it to perform in this befitting manner. The efforts of Karigar’s management in providing their trainees with internships at the end of the training and suitable jobs subsequently are highly commendable.

Every visit to the Karigar reminds one of the dedications and confidence of those who conceived of this project, and implemented it so well. The students are alert, confident and responsive. The clean and orderly ambience makes an excellent impression, and undoubtedly teaches students the importance of these qualities. The programme of weekly guest speakers at Karigar is possibly a unique feature of this institute, as I am not aware of any other vocational skills training institute that offers such a programme. The large variety of speakers and themes covered through this programme, must support the development of the young men, beyond acquisition of specialized technical skills.

My second visit was two years back on their convocation when Dr. Ishrat Hussain was the Chief Guest. This institute is now talk of the town in skilled vocation sector. The enrolment has increased and Sindh Training Authorities recognize them as a Torch bearer.

Karigar institute has come a long way, since its inception in 2009. Through its various programs, it has managed to provide many young students, who came from less privileged back grounds, a chance to learn and enhance their technical vocational skills. We are happy to be associated with Karigar institute and appreciate the efforts undertaken to improve skilled vocational education in Pakistan. The management team at Karigar institute has done commendable work in utilizing the funds with utmost transparency resulting in the confidence and trust of its partners and supporters.

Two convocations of Karigar Training Institute that I had the pleasure of attending. I was deeply touched by the expressions of students who had completed their training. The students, to whom I spoke, impressed me with their enthusiasm, devotion and praise for KTI. The team of senior executives, who work on honorary basis, together with the staff and trainers, have done a highly commendable job of doing justice to Donor’s funds by helping our youth become skilled and productive citizens.

It is heartening to learn of Karigar Training Institute and its achievements since its establishment in 2009. Karigar deserves appreciation for its endeavor to provide skills training to underprivileged youth to enable them to become economically independent and productive citizens within a short time frame.
These efforts will go a long way in supporting the ongoing “poverty alleviation” measures of government and private organizations. I take this opportunity to assure Karigar Training Institute of my whole hearted support through Marine Group of Companies in their future endeavors.

It gives me great pleasure to congratulate Karigar for the hight quality vocational training it is imparting to young Pakistanis who want to be self-reliant economically and professionally. The Karigar’s policy to maintain high quality of training will pay off for the beneficiaries in the long run.
