Empowering the Future: Free Laptops for Talented Students
On International Youth Day in Islamabad, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made an exciting announcement: 100,000 free laptops are set to be distributed among talented students across Pakistan. This initiative aims to empower young minds and create opportunities for deserving individuals, all based on merit rather than connections.
The announcement highlighted a significant focus on inclusivity, covering all regions—including the four provinces, Islamabad, Gilgit Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir. The Prime Minister emphasized that these laptops will not be part of previous interest-based loan schemes. Instead, the goal is to ensure that every student with potential gets the tools they need to succeed without the barriers of nepotism.
In a passionate speech, the Prime Minister encouraged the youth to build on recent national achievements, referencing Pakistan’s victory in Operation Bunyanum Marsoos. He urged them to channel this newfound energy into hard work and study, paving the way for future successes that will elevate the nation’s standing on the global stage.
Adding to this vibrant atmosphere, Rana Mashhood, Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program, spoke about various merit-based initiatives. He mentioned how programs like the Pakistan Education Endowment Fund and the Pakistan Daanish Schools have already transformed thousands of lives. It’s heartening to see a commitment to education that prioritizes talent and hard work.
The event also recognized the contributions of minority communities in Pakistan. Minister of State for Religious Affairs, Kesoo Mal Khael Das, reiterated the commitment of all citizens, regardless of their backgrounds, to contribute to the nation’s progress and development.
Education is the cornerstone of a bright future. Initiatives like the laptop distribution can significantly bridge the digital divide and equip students for the challenges of the modern world.
