PM launches ambitious scholarship scheme for talented youth

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday that the ‘Ehsaas Undergraduate Scholar­ship’ program would drive the country’s poor and talented youth to achieve excellence.

Speaking at the launching form of the program, he said people had no idea what a big change this action would bring.

The high minister lauded the sweats of his special adjunct and Ehsaas program speaker Dr. Sania Nishtar for introducing the action, under which an aggregate of literacy ( per time) is to be awarded to indigent scholars over the coming four times. He developed that due to severance, the talented and intelligent youth of the country were developing dogmatism and a tendency toward negative practices; still, this education program would help meritorious scholars divert their powers toward positivity.

He said that the undergraduate education program would also help exclude the class-grounded social education system from the country under which the elite got education from English-medium institutions, while others went for education from Urdu-medium seminaries and madressahs. He expressed the stopgap that the government literacy would be awarded on merit and on the basis of aptitude tests, as done in Germany and France.

He also expressed appreciation for the allocation of 50 percent and 2pc proportions for women and the else-abled, independently.

Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mehmood said that the Ehsaas Scholarship would bring about a metamorphosis in the field of education as scholars from low-income families would have access to academic institutions.

Special Adjunct to the Prime Minister on Social Protection and Poverty Alleviation Dr. Sania Nishtar said that the Ehsaas Scholarship program would prove to be a paradigm shift.

She refocused out that earlier the education programs concentrated more on advanced education. Besides merit, she said, the criteria of the Ehsaas Scholarship (in addition to education figure) would also include a paycheck to meet living charges — Rs 750 for boys and Rs for girls.

Sania Nishtar said that 50pc of the literacy would be given to girl scholars while 2pc had been reserved for impaired scholars. She said the Advanced Education Commis­sion in the last 15 times gave literacy to undergraduate scholars while the Ehsaas design would give literacy in one time and in four times.

Dr. Nishtar invited eligible scholars to visit the HEC gate.
