ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage Wednesday said that the human development indicators plunge into a nosedive during dictatorships, whereas during the democratic era, they start showing an upward trend. However, during the democratic framework of the current government, the targets of sustainable development were being achieved with better results, said Marriyum. Marriyum informed the audience that after the 18th amendment some of the SDGS have been transferred to the provinces, where provincial task forces connected to the Sustainable Development Secretariat of the parliament were adequately contributing to that effort. She said that people could obtain information regarding any development sector, including climate, health, education, fatal diseases and health of the child and mother. In the end of the ceremony, she distributed awards among the journalists from the electronic and print media, who had won distinction through their work on different areas of human development.
