Yet another initiative has been taken by the government to encourage education in the less developed areas of Pakistan. This time around, Prime Minister Youth Programme for PM Reimbursement Scheme 2016 has been launched.
This scheme was initially approved in June 2012 by the government which would reimburse tuition fees for students enrolled in Masters/M.Phil/Ph.D courses. In 2013, it was made as an integral part of the Youth Scheme.
