Great initiative, well done Kaptan <3
Well, It would be good if Good able to provide free distance learning up to Msc or 16 years education to every student of Pakistan. This initiative is cheap, effective, affordable. This step can revolutionize the education system of Pakistan. Bring win-win opportunities to middle class working student.
I am paying tax from my salary. I have build myself on my own. I strived very hard to become professional software engineer. It takes blood to build my career. I have not received any support from govt but still I am forced to pay taxes. At least, PM IK is doing something for underprivileged youth. Thank you IK. You have done a great job. People are suffering.I think via transparency it can bring a change in our nation. A very famous quote is this If you want a fruit then plant a tree now. because it takes 20 years for a tree to bear fruit. and If you want a build nation then educate. It takes a century for nation to bear fruits but just like tree example. Education will change the destiny of a nation forever.
What is new in it?. They have renamed the existing scholarship program of Punjab and Federal. PEEF was infact giving scholarships to more than 70 K students and now it is reduced to 50 K. This is cheating and renaming and nothing else.
your allegation are baseless until supported by evidence. please refer when you want to prove something about something.
So Here it is:
https://www.peef.org.pk/
PEEF will come to an end and will be merged with Ehsaas in the near future according to the visionary cheating of PTI. PEEF was giving more than 300,000 scholarships and the previous govt was not even publicizing it.
He did name his evidence. Google PEEF and other federal scholarships in Pakistan and you’ll see that there were already plenty of scholarships being given to underprivileged students. This is nothing new, just another scheme that looks good on paper and thus it is being copied from existing initiatives.
On the other hand, you have offered zero evidence and can’t even state your quotes correctly. Here it is for your information:
“A man who plants a tree knowing that he’ll never sit in its shade has started to understand the meaning of life.”
Dear all tax payers should ask for somesort of relief to themselves. The amount a software engineer pays every month is a decent total to pay either some bills, fee for kids or monthly grocery bill. I hear all about making it easy to pay taxes but what are they giving in return? Any social security? At least set a special line at hospitals, some concession at GOVT education facilities if they can’t do anything else.
Phly chalti chez ko khtm kr lo, phir usi ki rebrand kr k credit lyna bht allaa hy
the HEC scholarships which were there since years were withdrawn and this lollipop with extreme conditions is given. Yuhoodi ex Damaad chalaak kitna hai
This program was already running under the previous govt by the name of PEEF in Punjab and by other names in other provinces. PTI’s tradition of claiming others’ projects with new names continues!
well done PM KHAN
So another credit theft by the Team of Imran Khan?. They have renamed HEC Scholarships and PEEF ( Punjab Endowment Education Fund) and named it under Imran Khan’s program.
PTI has no shame whatsoever. They are liars and cheaters of the highest kind.
