The laptops would not just assist students in higher education studies, but would also benefit them in preparing for exams and fulfil other educational purposes.
Durrani said, “The receivers of laptops should thank Allah, while those who did not receive any, should not lose hope as their turn will come next time.”
He urged the youth not to consider themselves any less than others as “they are the founders of the future and one of them will become a leader”.
He said, “Students should continue studying hard with all their dedication and success will be at their feet.”
