Nothing makes me happier than doing my bit for empowerment of our youth & students, who hold the destiny of this country in their hands: PM Shehbaz  

ISLAMABAD, July 08 (SABAH): Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif  has said that nothing makes me happier than doing my bit for the empowerment of our youth and students, who hold the destiny of this country in their hands.

In a statement issued on twitter on Saturday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the nationwide launch of Prime Minister’s laptop scheme on Friday resumed the journey the PML-N government had started under the leadership of Mian Nawaz Sharif in Punjab. It is a fascinating journey of how these laptops helped students with their studies, become entrepreneurs and pursue gainful careers over the last decade, he said.

PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the laptop scheme has truly been a game-changer, which led to sterling success stories. Under the present scheme, 100,000 laptops will be distributed among the students of Pakistan in a phased manner, he said. PM Shehbaz Sharif said that like the past, transparency and merit will be the guiding principles in the selection of the recipients.
