Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori made a significant announcement on Sunday, revealing plans for the establishment of 300 tandoors across Karachi. The aim of this initiative is to provide affordable roti to the residents, with each roti priced at an incredibly low rate of only Rs. 2. The governor emphasized the importance of this noble cause during his speech at the Sindh Governor House, where students were gathered to take an entry test for an IT courses program.

Around 50,000 students participated in the test, showcasing their interest in subjects such as web development, artificial intelligence, and the metaverse. The program aims to educate children in these areas. Notably, over 500,000 children expressed their eagerness to join the program, and in the initial phase, 10,000 had the opportunity to take the entry test at the Governor’s House.
