Online Application for the PM Laptop Scheme 2023 is Now Open
Prime Minister Youth Laptop Scheme: Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has once again launched the initiative to provide laptops to young individuals. Starting from June 20, 2023, you can apply for this program online.
This initiative, known as the Prime Minister Youth Laptop Scheme, aims to support students through the provision of laptops. The Government of Pakistan has announced the revival of this scheme under the Prime Minister Youth Programme.
The scheme intends to distribute one hundred thousand laptops among students, as announced by the Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Affairs, Shazia Fatimah. These laptops will be provided free of charge, and along with the laptops, students will be encouraged and empowered.
In the past, the Ayat Commission Education oversaw a similar scheme. Under PMNFNA-2, the Education Commission acted as the implementing agency, successfully distributing around five hundred thousand laptops to federal and FATA colleges in public sector universities and technical colleges transparently and efficiently.
To maintain transparency, information about the program was published on the HEC website. It is well-established that a country’s economic development is closely linked to the intellectual development of its citizens. Neglecting this aspect could result in the detriment of the younger generation, so it is crucial to invest in their future. Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif recognized this by providing laptops to empower the youth.
The Prime Minister Youth Laptop Scheme 2023 aims to enable young individuals to earn a livelihood online while staying at home, fostering meaningful occupations. The government acknowledges the significance of this endeavor and is committed to empowering the youth.
