Brilliant youth excelling in education and research provide a backbone for any nation and its economy as they take strides in different arenas of life competing regionally and internationally to develop a strong base.
Their acknowledgement in the form of equipping them with the latest research techniques and gadgets paves the way for them to be compatible with international standards and capture more and more slots at universities abroad.
As many poor students who win laurels in studies were hit by abject poverty and lacking the latest equipment to compete in the world market, therefore the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government has revived the laptop scheme for the outstanding students by allocating Rs10 billion in budget 2023-24.
This amount would be spent to provide 100,000 high-quality latest laptops to talented students of public sector universities studying all degree programmes including BS (16 Years), MS/MPhil (18 Years), and PhD under the Prime Minister's Laptop Scheme.
Laptops' share is calculated on an enrolment basis in each degree programme as the scheme aims at facilitating outstanding students to continue higher studies and earn a respectable living.
