In his final week in office, Hamood-ur-Rehman also launched the Shaheed Zakir Baloch Scholarship Program to support meritorious students from low-income families, including orphans and differently-abled students, pursuing higher education. The first phase of the program selected 30–32 students and marks the first such initiative from Gwadar, with plans for future expansion across Balochistan.
DC Kakar inherits a district poised for further growth and development, with expectations to continue strengthening governance, advancing community initiatives, and fostering opportunities for youth empowerment.
