While the intent is good, I hope this isn't just a one-off event. Sustainable change requires continuous engagement. Will there be follow-up sessions for those 20 trainees? The real test is in long-term impact.

The free medical camps in Nowshera and Lower Jamola are a vital service. Often, healthcare access is a major challenge in remote districts. This aspect of the programme deserves special appreciation.

The focus on physical fitness and career planning is crucial. Many aspirants from smaller towns lack proper guidance. Providing uniforms and study material shows they've thought about the practical hurdles. A great model for other districts.
