A National Icon and a Visionary Leader Unite for Pakistan’s Future
Dubai : In a historic alliance, cricket legend and humanitarian Shahid Afridi has joined forces with Shakeel Ahmad Meer, Chairman of Meer Group, to officially launch Vision Pakistan — a groundbreaking national initiative dedicated to reigniting Pakistan’s potential. Known worldwide as “Boom Boom” for his electrifying cricket career, Afridi now steps onto a different kind of pitch alongside Shakeel Ahmad Meer, whose leadership and vision are driving this transformative movement. Together, they aim to empower youth, strengthen local economies, and reshape Pakistan’s image on the global stage.
Vision Pakistan is not just a program; it is a nation-building movement crafted by Meer Group under the leadership of Shakeel Ahmad Meer. Its mission is to unite technology, education, entrepreneurship, and tourism into a cohesive roadmap for sustainable progress. With Shahid Afridi lending his voice and influence, the movement now embodies both visionary leadership and national inspiration, reaching across generations and communities.
Free Digital Education for Youth – Powered by AI
At the heart of Vision Pakistan is a bold promise: free, AI-powered digital education for youth. A state-of-the-art online platform will provide training in technology, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, and other high-demand skills — completely free of cost. This ensures that young Pakistanis, regardless of location or background, can access opportunities to thrive in the modern digital economy.
Reimagining Pakistan’s Tourism for the World
Vision Pakistan also sets out to reposition Pakistan as a premier global tourism destination. With plans for infrastructure development and international promotion campaigns, the initiative will showcase the country’s natural beauty, heritage, and culture. By attracting tourists and investors, it will create jobs, fuel industries, and rebrand Pakistan as a land of adventure, opportunity, and growth.
District-Level Economic Empowerment
Another pillar of Vision Pakistan is the creation of district-level business platforms designed to spark economic activity at the grassroots. By empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs), promoting entrepreneurship, and connecting communities to larger markets, this model ensures that growth is inclusive and far-reaching. Each district will become a hub of innovation, opportunity, and sustainable development, driving national progress from the bottom up.
