Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has distributed 6,161 laptops among students from across the Rawalpindi Division at a ceremony held at COMSATS University in Attock. She also handed over Honhaar Scholarship cheques to deserving students to support their educational expenses.
Under the first three phases of the Honhaar Scholarship Programme, the Punjab government has awarded scholarships to 108,000 students. Addressing the ceremony, Maryam Nawaz said the initiative was helping students from financially struggling families continue their education without worrying about expenses.
She highlighted the difficulties faced by students whose fathers have passed away or work as daily wage labourers. The chief minister pledged that no student would be forced to abandon education because of financial problems, adding that every talented and hardworking student deserved equal opportunities to pursue higher education.
