The Government of Sindh launched mega initiative of skill development program titled Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Program (BBSYDP) in 2008. It was aimed at addressing twin issues of un-employment and poverty through skill development trainings; specifically directed for local and international industrial projects and sectors. The provincial assembly of Sindh passed Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Human Resource Research and Development Board [BBSHRRDB] Act in 2013 which converted BBSYDP into Board. It marked a watershed moment in the history of the province of Sindh. It established a permanent structure within folds of Government of Sindh with comprehensive and long-term vision to continue addressing the twin issues of poverty and un-employment through Human Resource Development in the province of Sindh to maintain a robust economy.

The Board has successfully trained thousands of unemployed youth in various market demand and employable trades without any discrimination. In recognition thereof, the international organizations, like World Bank and UNICEF have jointly ventured with their grants, loans and aid programs. Viewing its role in reducing ratio of unemployment, the Government of Sindh decided to give BBSYDP a permanent structure.
