MULTAN, Oct 19: The Social Welfare Department will train women on scientific methods of cattle rearing and preservation of milk and meat to enable them support their families.
This was stated by social welfare and women development provincial minister Shaheen Atiqur Rahman during a meeting on Friday.
The minister said around 80 per cent of the women had been working against different capacities in the country but they had not been getting remunerations in proportion to their assignments.
Woman in every society, she said, played a very important role in the progress and development.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the performance of an industrial home, she said the function of the department was to teach not only sewing but to extend help to women in various different fields.
Lawyers, representatives of different NGOs and offices of social welfare department in the industrial home were present on the occasion.
It may be added here that Multan Industrial Home manager Salma Yasmeen had been transferred and Nasreen Jaffri took over the charge.
