Mohsin Naqvi Says Youth Seek Systemic Change, Not Just Laptops

Mohsin Naqvi said that today’s youth are seeking meaningful reforms rather than temporary incentives. Speaking about the aspirations of the younger generation, he stated, “Young people don’t want laptops, they want system change.”

According to Naqvi, many young Pakistanis are focused on long-term improvements that can create better opportunities and address everyday challenges. He said they aspire to a system that is transparent, merit-based, and efficient, enabling them to build successful futures through equal opportunities and good governance.

He noted that while initiatives such as laptop distribution can benefit students, many young people believe lasting reforms in education, employment, public services, and state institutions are far more important. He added that strengthening these sectors would have a greater and more sustainable impact on future generations.

Naqvi also stressed the need to listen to the concerns of young people and involve them in the country's development process. He said Pakistan’s youth possess the talent, creativity, and determination needed to drive national progress if provided with the right opportunities and support.

He further said that improving governance and institutional performance would strengthen public confidence, encourage innovation, and lay the foundation for sustainable economic and social development. According to him, such reforms would benefit not only the younger generation but the nation as a whole.

His remarks have added to the ongoing debate about the importance of governance reforms and institutional strengthening in addressing the expectations of Pakistan’s youth.

The statement underscores the growing demand for long-term policy improvements and an environment where young people can thrive and contribute meaningfully to the country’s future.
