President Irfaan Ali has announced a new phase of development aimed at supporting working professionals, particularly those with children.
This initiative is designed to enhance career opportunities for parents while ensuring their children receive proper care and education.
Recognizing the growing number of women in the workforce and their significant contributions to the economy, President Ali emphasized the need to create an environment that allows these professionals to balance work and family responsibilities.
The government’s plan includes developing infrastructure and incentives that will provide safe and supportive care environments for children, enabling parents to focus on their careers.
Additionally, President Ali revealed that a new agricultural initiative is on the horizon.
This program will target households across the country, aiming to improve productivity and invest in food production, aligning with the broader goal of reducing the food import bill by 2025.
These measures reflect the government’s commitment to enhancing both professional and personal support systems, ensuring that working parents have the resources they need to thrive in their careers while maintaining the well-being of their families.
