The scheme will sponsor entire educational expense of such students. It was announced by chairperson Prime Minister Youth Programme (PMYP) Ms Maryam Nawaz while launching PMFRS for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and Fata in Peshawar on Monday.
The launching ceremony was also attended by large number of the notables of the area and former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pir Sabir Shah and chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC) Professor Dr Mukhtar Ahmad.
Maryam Nawaz Sharif in her address reminded that the scheme is exclusively devoted for the less developed areas of the country. The ceremony was arranged in the lush green lawn of the Governor House of the province.
The chairperson of the PMYP said education is top most priority of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who has initiated fee reimbursement scheme for deserving students of less developed areas covering whole educational expense in a bid to facilitate them to continue their higher studies. She maintained that under the scheme, the federal government would pay hundred percent educational expenses including admission fee and library charges of deserving students up to Rs40,000 along-with boarding and lodging charges of the Fata students who merits for the scheme.
Maryam Nawaz made it clear that she has not come to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to criticise the provincial government rather she had come to offer the youth of the province and Fata what they really deserve. Without naming the provincial ruler Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) she said that those who are staging protests in other provinces skipping their own province should have to deliver to their voters and show performance instead of indulging in negative activities like protests and agitation. She said it is her wish to see Metro Buss like project for the comfort of the people in Peshawar.
The chairperson of PMYP paid glowing tributes to male and female students of Fata and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for continuing their higher studies uninterruptedly despite challenging law and order situation and terrorism threats.
Maryam Nawaz said she has accepted the responsibility of Youth Programme as a chairperson for the brighter future of youth, especially of backward areas and maintained that “I have no desire to get a ministry or lucrative post; rather I have assumed the responsibility of Youth Programme as a chairperson so that I could work for the brighter future of youth”.
Maryam Nawaz expressed her gratitude to students and people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for giving her warm welcome on her arrival and said she came after 16 years and impressed with the hospitality of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa people of rich traditions. She recalled that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa gave her identical reception when she came to Peshawar to lodge protests 16 years ago when elected Prime Minister of people of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif was convicted by a dictatorial regime in two false cases and maintained that despite facing fake cases, keeping him behind bar and he was consigned to exile the resolve of Nawaz Sharif wasn’t shaken and he continued struggle for democratic and prosperous Pakistan along-with his family.
