The website parwazcard.com is the digital hub for the Punjab Parwaz Card, a flagship initiative of the Government of Punjab (under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz) launched for 2025. It is primarily focused on supporting the youth through skills development and international employment.
Here is a detailed breakdown of what is available on the site and through the card:
1. Overseas Employment & Skilled Youth Support
The Parwaz Card acts as a “passport to professional growth” for skilled workers in Punjab who wish to work abroad.
- International Job Placement: It connects skilled workers with verified employers in the Middle East (GCC), Europe, and other regions.
- Free Training: Access to technical and vocational training in over 250 different trades.
- Financial Facilitation: The card provides financial assistance to help cover the costs of visas, passports, and travel for those who secure international jobs.
- Language Classes: It offers mandatory training in languages like English, Arabic, and German to ensure workers can succeed abroad.
2. Connection to “Asaan Karobar” (Business Loans)
While the Parwaz Card focuses on employment, it is closely linked to the Asaan Karobar Card/Scheme also found on government portals.
- Interest-Free Loans: Loans ranging from Rs. 500,000 up to Rs. 30 million (3 Crores).
- Easy Repayment: Specifically designed for entrepreneurs between 25 and 55 years old to start or expand small businesses.
- No Initial Licensing: CM Maryam Nawaz announced that loans could be obtained without needing immediate NOCs or licenses, allowing businesses to start quickly.
