Similarly, the Citizen Feedback Monitoring Program (CFMP) is helping the government in keeping tabs on the quality of service delivery by collected Citizen Feedback through robocalls. Asif Balal praised the role of PITB’s freelancing initiatives like eRozgar & NFTP aimed at arming our youth with necessary digital skills to earn from the Internet based freelancing platforms.
