The closing ceremony of the event was attended by the Minister for Agriculture, Sports & Youth Affairs, Supply & Prices, Inquiries and Anti-Corruption – Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar, Secretary Agriculture Sindh – Mr. Rafique A. Burero, Director General Agriculture Engineering Department – Shuhab Uddin Abro and AGTL officials.

The workshop kicked off with an introduction to Al-Ghazi’s tractor product range, delving into the financial benefits of tractor ownership and the business opportunities it creates. On the second day, participants rolled up their sleeves for practical training, where they learned to operate and maintain tractors. From obtaining tractor driving licenses to hands-on driving practice, these women gained the confidence and skills needed to make a real impact in their farming communities.

Amna Baloch, a participant who comes from a farming background, said, ‘I have never received training like this before and never thought I could drive a tractor. Now, I feel excited and confident to contribute to my family’s farming business.’

Maham Nabeel, Head of Legal at AGTL, emphasized the importance of women’s inclusion in agriculture: “Empowerment and inclusivity are more than just buzzwords—they are essential drivers of innovation and progress. In agriculture, where women are the backbone yet often overlooked, our mission is to ensure that their potential is fully realized. At Al-Ghazi Tractors, we are committed to fostering a culture where every woman can thrive, contribute, and lead in building a prosperous future for Pakistan.”

The Minister of Agriculture, Anti-Corruption, Sports, and Youth Affairs, Sardar Muhammad Bux Khan Mahar, also addressed the event, highlighting the importance of such initiatives. He stated, “Women are the backbone of rural development, and it is crucial that we support these initiatives. We are aiming to work on policies to subsidize tractors for women, empowering them to use these machines on their own farms or rent them out to others. The progress we seek can be achieved through a strong partnership between the private sector and the government.”

Certificates were awarded to participants, marking the successful completion of the workshop and celebrating their achievements. The event concluded with a collective commitment to continue supporting women’s empowerment in agriculture.

The “Khud Mukhtar Baa Waqar” workshop reflects Al-Ghazi Tractors’ ongoing dedication to driving sustainable development by empowering women in agriculture. As the agricultural landscape evolves, Al-Ghazi remains steadfast in its mission to equip women with the tools and knowledge they need to be at the forefront of this vital industry.
