Under Government’s Hajj scheme, each year an employee from staff grades SG-I to SG-IV is picked through balloting who is sponsored by PPIB from its own resources for performing Hajj. Accordingly, the balloting for the Hajj-2024 was done on 10th January 2024. Since this was the first balloting after merger of AEDB with PPIB, it was done to pick one staff grade employee each from PPIB and dissolved AEDB. The ballot slips were picked by Mr. Shah Jahan Mirza, Managing Director PPIB, Director Generals, & Directors. As a result, PPIB’s Tariq Mahmood, Office Attendant and Mr. Muhammad Nazir, Driver from dissolved AEDB were declared as successful to perform Hajj for the year 2024 at PPIB’s expense.

The management congratulated both successful employees for this sacred duty.
