Federal Minister for Postal Services was the chief guest of the event, while Arfa’s parents were also present at the ceremony.
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani had given approval for the commemorative stamp in recognition of Arfa’s achievements at such a young age.
Today (February 2) also marks the 17th birthday of Arfa – the youngest ever MCP from Pakistan, who died earlier this year at the age of 16 after suffering an epileptic attack.
The Punjab governor also announced of forming an IT chair at the Punjab University in Arfa’s honour.
The chairman of National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Postal Services, Pir Muhammad Aslam Bodla on Thursday said that the issuance of commemorative postage stamps on Arfa Karim, the world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional was a good initiative.
Talking to APP outside the Parliament House, he said that the issuance of postage stamps was a tribute to her contributions.
He appreciated Pakistan Post for issuing the stamps and inviting Arfa Karim’s parents and her entire family for the unveiling ceremony.

She is a cute girl and of course she was intelligent. But a commemorative stamp is too much?
liked it :) cute girl
Too little too late but perhaps a good move by the government. Arfa you will remain in our hearts. I still get tears in my eyes, when I see your picture and it feels you only died moments ago
sorry for being negative, but i don't like seeing 'Microsoft' on a national stamp. It is more like recognizing microsoft as a authority or benchmark. It could've been something more patriotic like, "A national asset".. don't know?
Arfa you are truly...pride of our nation who have set example for youth of today, that Pakistan do not lack talent, the only thing we need is courage and passion. THANKYOU...for showing us the direction of succes and hardwork
it is good job, from govt official,that we appriciated our national heros,
Good to see that we as a nation started to appriciate our real heros. May Allah bless her soul......
My Al-Mighty Allah rest her soul in peace and give strength to the bereaved family. Ameen
nice idea..
