Moreover, a unique aspect of this initiative is the reward program for teachers, where one teacher of each top-performing student will be recognized. The Chief Minister has also approved a scholarship program aimed at further supporting students in their educational pursuits.
To fund these initiatives, the Punjab government will allocate an annual budget of Rs 125 billion. In the first phase, buses will be provided to 60 girls’ colleges across the province, ensuring that female students have access to safe and reliable transportation.
