WOMEN AFTER MARRIAGES

He said that the Ehsaas scholarship programme was significant in bringing positive change in the lives of students, facing financial constraints. He said that fairness and transparency were important while shortlisting candidates for scholarships and expressed confidence that the Ehsaas team would justify the criteria.

The president said that education of women was equally important in view of their contribution to national economy. However, he pointed out that a large number of talented women left their professional careers after marriages, resulting in waste of educational resources.

SOCIAL SAFETY COVER

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Social Welfare and Poverty Alleviation Dr Sania Nishtar said that umbrella of the Ehsaas programme was meant to provide social safety cover and bring a paradigm shift in poverty eradication. She mentioned that 50,000 annual scholarships would be given to youth to help them become self-reliant and a useful segment of the society.
