Pakistan is blessed with an extraordinary talent but the major portion of it remains undiscovered and underutilized. The underutilization of such talent has been mainly caused by rural-urban divide in which the urban population has access to all the opportunities to excel whereas the people from rural are deprived of accessing even the basic necessities of life and education is no exception. The poor education system available for the students of rural areas has denied them to compete to their counterparts in urban areas. Their survival in the tough grading system of reputed universities is a big challenge and most of them are not even able to secure admissions in higher education institutions. It results in premature end to the educational career of such talented youth and consequently involvement in anti-state activities thus contributing negatively in overall economy growth of the country.

Pakistan is endowed with extraordinary talent, much of which remains untapped and underutilized. This underutilization is largely due to the rural-urban divide, where urban populations enjoy access to a wealth of opportunities, while those in rural areas are deprived of even the most basic necessities, including education. The inadequate education system in rural areas has significantly hindered students from competing with their urban counterparts. As a result, many faces significant challenges in surviving the rigorous grading systems of reputable universities, with a large number unable to secure admissions to higher education institutions. This often leads to the premature termination of their educational careers, pushing some towards anti-state activities and negatively impacting the country's overall economic growth. In 2016, Oil & Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) partnered with Sukkur IBA University to launch the OGDCL National Talent Hunt Program. This initiative aims to identify and nurture the talents of underprivileged students, ensuring their access to and success in quality institutions nationwide. The program focuses on enhancing the academic abilities of students from rural areas by addressing their deficiencies in core subjects such as Mathematics, English, and ICT, thereby making them competitive with their urban peers.
