The Zewar e Taleem Programme strives to assist students who, for a variety of reasons, cannot continue their education through basic school. This programme, wherein girl students receive conditional monetary aid, has been introduced by the government in 16 districts with poor literacy rates.
By addressing their nutritional and health needs and increasing their school attendance, this initiative’s main goal is to inspire adolescent females to pursue a career in education. Distributing the cash to qualified beneficiaries falls under the purview of the PSPA preparer’s designated branches.
Punjab Social Protection Authority
More than 730,085 people are currently receiving cash financial support from the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA) through three different conditional and unconditional programmes. For people with learning difficulties, these programmes include the Universal Cash Transfer (UCT) and the Bricklin Programme. The PWDS initiative is additionally providing assistance to 67,069 people with impairments.
According to the Prime Minister’s vision, Punjab’s Ehsaas programmes work to help the weak and poor so they can rise to a respectable place in society by offering financial support. The Punjabi government launched the Punjab Social Protection Authority programme to carry out the federal government’s efforts. Its main objective is to provide social and economic security for the impoverished and worthy sectors of the population.
