APNEF to Bridge the Gap between Government, Regional Newspapers & Rural Population

Various welfare projects of the government often remain unnoticed by the rural populations and so they could not reap the benefits from such welfare projects of the government. Following are some reasons that the message of government does not reach far-flung areas:
• Government ads are not released to the regional media
• News of important Government programs does not reach the local and regional media.
APNEF has the network of its member newspapers throughout the Pakistan which may be utilized to communicate all important government plans and welfare schemes.
