In yet another step towards making Pakistan a welfare state, Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched the “Koi Bhooka Na Soye” program under the umbrella of the Ehsaas poverty alleviation scheme.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s election manifesto promised to eradicate poverty from the country, and PM Khan has been aggressively pushing for the cause. All initiatives under the Ehsaas Program are in line with PM Khan’s vision.
Under the program, mobile vans would visit different areas of major cities to feed the poor people. In the first phase, the program has been introduced in the federal capital and will be expanded to other cities in the later stages.
