Telenor Pakistan is 100% owned by Telenor ASA and adds on to its operations in Asia together with Thailand, Malaysia and Bangladesh.

Telenor Pakistan launched its operations in March 2005 as the single largest direct European investment in Pakistan, setting precedence for further foreign investments in the telecom sector. The company has crossed many milestones and grown in a number of directions, making Telenor Pakistan a leading telecom operator of the country.

Khuddar Pakistan is Telenor Pakistan’s flagship corporate responsibility initiative. With Khuddar Pakistan, Telenor wants to make a difference in the lives of fellow persons with disabilities by addressing the challenges they face.

The purpose of this program is to change the public mindset by creating awareness about their abilities and want to help develop technologies that will give them the opportunity to actively participate in our society.

According to Telenor Official Press Release:

we are the only company in Pakistan to have a formal disability advisor and a disability advisory panel. We sponsor assistive technology training labs for persons with disabilities at National Institute of Special Education, National Training Center for Special Persons (NTCSP), and Special Talent Exchange (STEP). We have the first corporate products & services/career website that is fully accessible and our staff participate in the first formal employee volunteerism drive in the corporate sector to work with persons with disabilities.

But I don’t agree with them as Telenor is the only company because KFC is also doing this in Pakistan since 2007. Example is its outlet in 5th Road,Satellite Town, Rawalpindi where duff and dumb staff are running the whole restaurant.

Anyways Telenor sponsors will assist technology training labs for persons with disabilities at National Institute of Special Education, National Training Center for Special Persons (NTCSP), and Special Talent Exchange (STEP).

In the end I must say that this is the great effort/ contribution made by Telenor to support the economy of Pakistan as well as Support the disable People.
