KARACHI: Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Aminul Haq has said that an agreement has been inked with Google for 45,000 scholarships, which we hope will increase up to 450,000 next year.
At least 40 per cent of the scholarships of Google will be for women, the state news agency reported.
He said this while addressing the Startups for Industries and IT Exports conference at the Korangi Association of Trade and Industry (KATI).
The Minister said that the Google company had earlier given only 15,000 scholarships last year, but these were increased after consultation.
The Federal IT Minister said that a building has been constructed in NED University at a cost of $ 1.6 million for gaming and animation, for further promotion and growth of this industry.
