Disability Awareness Training


Persons with disabilities face discrimination in many areas of their lives; Very True . DAT has been designed by persons with disabilities to enable those who come in contact with the disabled community to understand the nature of these discriminatory practices and eradicate them from our society.

Recently, Telenor Pakistan launched a flagship project "Khuddar Pakistan" with an aim to become the most disabled-friendly company in Pakistan in terms of employment, service, and community support.

To do this, Telenor Pakistan will, for the first time in Pakistan, integrate persons with disabilities fully into the organization, create awareness about their abilities, and include them fully into everyday life with the help of assistive technologies. An awesome effort i must say. They will work in collaboration with its disability advisor STEP (SPECIAL TALENT EXCHANGE PROGRAM).
So this is what they say and prove "We believe growth comes from truly understanding the needs of people to drive relevant change". I love Telenor not only for being the leading operator and giving cheap calling rates, but for playing a major role in development of social and public sector of this state.

Defence Day of Pakistan


The Defence of Pakistan Day is being observed on Sunday with traditional zeal and solemnity to pay homage to all those who rendered the supreme sacrifice during the 1965 war. The nation is observing this day every year with a renewed pledge to sacrifice everything to defend the geographical and ideological frontiers of the country.

The day will dawn with special prayers in all the mosques for the wellbeing and prosperity of the country. In addition to this ‘Fateha Khawani’ will be held at the graves of the Shuhada, while special prayers will be offered for the preservation of the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan.
