Government Appoints Tania Aidrus to Lead Digital Initiatives Committee

In a recent development, the government of Pakistan constituted a committee dedicated to advancing the country’s digital initiatives. Tania Aidrus, who served as a former special assistant during the government of PTI, will be heading the committee. The new committee will play an important role in shaping Pakistan’s digital vision by offering recommendations to the government, which could lead to digital development across various sectors.

The appointment of Tania Aidrus as the head of this committee was confirmed through an official notification from the Ministry of IT & Telecom (MoiTT), which received approval from the Prime Minister of Pakistan. It also showed the appointment of 5 other members of the committee.

However, it’s pertinent to mention here that Tania Aidrus resigned from her position as Special Assistant to the Prime Minister back in 2020. A senior official from the ministry said that a similar committee was formed during the tenure of Prime Minister Imran Khan, with efforts focused on advancing the Digital Pakistan agenda. Now, with the constitution of a new committee, she has been re-appointed to lead the country’s digital efforts once again.

The new development signifies the government’s commitment to promoting its digital agenda. With her leadership and expertise, the committee is expected to provide valuable insights and recommendations to drive digital transformation initiatives across Pakistan.
