Skill Enhancement at CTCL

January 29, 2025, Dera Bugti, Sui: As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) remains steadfast in its commitment to skill enhancement and livelihood generation for local communities in its operational areas.

One of the standout initiatives is the first-ever Computer Training Centre and Library (CTCL) established by PPL in 2009 in Sui, District Dera Bugti, home to the company’s flagship Sui Gas Fields. Located at Tehsil Bazaar, old Sui, the facility spans a covered area of 20,000 square feet and has been a beacon of learning and development for youth in Sui and its surrounding areas.

Since its inception, CTCL has played a pivotal role in equipping local youth with Information Technology (IT) skills. Additionally, the library within the facility has provided a dedicated space for students to pursue knowledge and enhance their academic pursuits. To date, over 1,500 students have successfully completed basic IT courses, and more than 1,200 members are actively benefiting from the library services.

The CTCL facility is currently managed by The Education Consultancy (TEC), ensuring a high standard of operations and delivery of quality education. Recently, baseless claims regarding the closure of CTCL have been circulated by certain individuals with malicious intent, seeking to mislead the public and disrupt the educational progress of local youth. These claims have also been amplified by some media outlets, further exacerbating the misinformation.

PPL strongly condemns these unfounded allegations and reassures the community that CTCL remains operational and fully committed to its mission of empowering the youth of Sui and neighboring areas. Such misleading narratives not only harm the institution but also detract from the opportunities being provided to the local community.

PPL stands firm in its dedication to supporting the educational and professional growth of the youth in Balochistan and will continue to invest in initiatives that foster learning, development, and empowerment.
