In order to create awareness among the Baloch youth about the military, and subsequently choosing it as their profession, over the past few years, the Armed Forces have started a massive awareness campaign and concession package all over the province. To the level of Pak Army, this campaign met overwhelming successes. Thousands of the Baloch youth appeared for the recruitment in various Army recruitment centres. 4,000 Baloch recruits of this colossal recruitment campaign have completed their basic military training on October 29, 2010 and joined various units of Pak Army as soldiers. Induction of these soldiers in such strength is indeed a historical occasion for their families and province. Besides, 10,000 Baloch recruits still undergoing basic military training in various training institutions are likely to pass out in the near future.
The major reward of this decision of massive recruitment followed by successful training of the Baloch youth goes to Chief of Army Staff, General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, who conceived and implemented this unparalleled idea. Indeed, he is a man of wisdom and farsightedness. Under his dynamic command, Pak Army is touching the heights of professionalism and national service. It is for the first time that passing out parade of Baloch soldiers held simultaneously at Quetta, Khuzdar, Sibbi, Sui, and Zhob. Governor Balochistan, Nawab Zulfiqar Ali Magsi, alongwith Chief Minister and Commander Southern Command was the chief guest of the parade in Quetta. Most of the provincial ministers and notables of the province attended the ceremony. The event was widely appreciated by the people of Balochistan. While emphasizing on the need of promoting the national harmony against the global conspiracies, the Chief Guest (Governor Balochistan) said, "Induction of Baloch youth into the army would help improve socio-economic conditions of the province which had been ignored in the past".
The Governor appreciated the efforts of Pak Army for this massive recruitment, and provision of quality training to the Baloch youth and hoped that, "induction of thousands of Baloch youths into the army would bring about positive changes in the province". Indeed, it was a great moment for the province to see its youths becoming part of the Army. These youths have received training, which will enable them to meet internal and external challenges faced by the nation. The Chief Minister of Balochistan, Nawab Aslam Raisani stressed on the newly inducted recruits to, "sustain the trend to strengthen the federation and frustrate the evil designs of enemies of the country."
