Pakistan Govt Announces Video Gaming, Animation Program

WEB DESK: Federal Minister of Science and Technology, Fawad Chaudhry, announced a special program of animation and video games to encourage young people to be part of the multi-billion dollar gaming industry.

Despite the continuous growth in the gaming industry worldwide, Pakistan falls short in terms of developing video games and providing opportunities to developers.

The new initiative will be providing animation and video games certification programs to young people in order to boost the local gaming industry.

“If you are not interested in reading and are interested in video games on the phone, be prepared. Bringing a special program of video games programming so that we can be a part of this 90 billion industry, animation, and video games certification programs will be not only a game but a game-changer for young people,” he wrote on Twitter.
