The content has been explained through infographics and relevant facts and figures. On assumption of power in August 2018, the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government faced numerous 'inherited challenges' including financial instability, poverty, and inadequate education and health facilities.
However, in three years, the journey of development has added several feathers in the cap of the government, particularly sustaining the COVID-19 situation by opting for the 'smart lockdown strategy'. Pakistan has been recently ranked by The Economist as the 'third-best performing country' for handling the pandemic. Administration of 30 million vaccine doses across the country and self-sufficiency in manufacturing of Personal Protection Equipment are key achievements.
