The Punjab government, led by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has officially launched the second phase of its Agriculture Graduate Internship Program 2025. This initiative offers fresh graduates the opportunity to gain practical experience in agriculture, backed by a substantial monthly stipend of Rs60,000.

The first phase of the internship, which received overwhelming positive feedback, demonstrated the impact such initiatives can have on both individual career development and agricultural productivity.
