This is achieved by providing financial assistance to purchase small commercial vehicles, aiding individuals in establishing a secure means of income.
The distribution ceremony served as a significant step towards enabling the youth to create a stable source of livelihood, contributing to the economic development of the region through entrepreneurship in the transport sector.
