ISLAMABAD (Our Reporter): With almost 8,000 participants from around the country Connected Pakistan Conference held on 8th and 9th September in Islamabad to acknowledge innovative people and companies working in the sectors of Education, Employment, Empowerment of Women & Gender Equality, Energy Conservations, Environment Protections, Enlightened, Moderate & Liberal Society, Engagement of Senior Citizens, Eradication of Drugs, Expectancy of Life and Exploring Pakistan. CEO & Founder of Connected Pakistan, Syed Arsalan Ali Shah while talking exclusively to The Dayspring emphasized that Connected Pakistan is not an ordinary enterprise it is a revolution, a revolution which has an ideology. Our enterprise is the modern form of social enterprise which has set a new trend and standard of sustainable social impact on national scale. With a very modest start, here we stand as the fastest growing and emerging social enterprise of Pakistan. I am proud of my team who has supported me in my cause and has worked restlessly and selflessly for this noble cause.
On the same occasion Executive Director, Anum Zulfiqar stressed that Connected Pakistan has a very clear line of action. Our business objective is not profit but purpose – the purpose of creating empowered Pakistan.
Being the first women top rated freelancer of Pakistan and winner of best freelancing award by KP Government I clearly understand this purpose cannot be achieved without the active participation of women.
Our unique initiative of She Can – A Women Empowerment Program has proved vital for this cause. The way this initiative has addressed women empowerment without compromising ‘the Chaddar & Chardeewari’ for women is remarkable.
During the conference training sessions, workshops, seminars, panel discussions, motivational speeches, stand up comedy presentations were held.
