ISLAMABAD: The federal government announced on Thursday that it will introduce the “Laptop for All” scheme for Pakistani students next year, As Per Private Media Report.
Rana Mashhood, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP), announced the “Laptop for All” scheme during a press conference. Under this initiative, students will be able to obtain laptops from interest-free banks.
“The government is making efforts to provide interest-free laptops to students from banks, with a decision expected within two or three days,” the PMYP chairman said.
The PMYP chairman explained that the interim government was facing multiple challenges on financial fronts and IMF conditions were also in place; however, the “Laptops for All” scheme would be included in the next fiscal budget.
Last year, there was a caretaker government, and when the present government came into being, the time to finalize the budget was very short, so the laptops were not provided to students, Rana Mashhood added.
