Policy committees of the Universal Service Fund (USF) and Ignite, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication, have approved their budgets for the financial year 2024-25.

The USF, a government-funded agency aimed at promoting telecommunication services in underserved areas, has been allocated a budget of Rs. 23 billion. This budget will be used to fund various projects, such as broadband connectivity, fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) initiatives, and other infrastructure development projects.

Ignite, a technology incubator and accelerator, has received a budget of Rs. 3.960 billion. This funding will be used to support startups, entrepreneurs, and innovators in the technology sector. Ignite’s initiatives include providing mentorship, funding, and incubation services to promising tech ventures.

The approval of these budgets is expected to significantly boost the development of the telecom and IT sectors in Pakistan. By investing in digital infrastructure and supporting innovation, the government aims to promote digital inclusion, create jobs, and drive economic growth.

The CEO of the USF, Chaudhry Mudassar Naveed, briefed the policy committees on the ongoing and future projects that will be funded using the approved budgets. He highlighted the importance of these projects in bridging the digital divide and ensuring equitable access to telecommunication services across the country.

CWPK Legacy
Launched in 1967 internationally, ComputerWorld is the oldest tech magazine/media property in the world. In Pakistan, ComputerWorld was launched in 1995. Initially providing news to IT executives only, once CIO Pakistan, its sister brand from the same family, was launched and took over the enterprise reporting domain in Pakistan, CWPK has emerged as a holistic technology media platform reporting everything tech in the country. It remains the oldest continuous IT publishing brand in the country and in 2025 is set to turn 30 years old, which will be its biggest benchmark and a legacy it hopes to continue for years to come. CWPK is part of the SPIN/IDG Wakhan media umbrella.
