Govt decides to launch ‘Kamyab Pakistan Program’ at national level

According to details, a meeting regarding the program was chaired by Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin and was also attended by Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Youth Affairs Usman Dar, Head of National Bank, and other government functionaries.

It was decided that housing projects, loan schemes, skill development, health cards and agricultural loans would be brought under the program.

The finance minister said that four million families nationwide would become a part of the initiative and up to Rs. 500,000 interest-free loans have been planned under the initiative.

“Farmers will receive interest-free loans for improving harvest and other business opportunities,” Tarin said adding, “This is the biggest social welfare initiative launched by the incumbent government.  One person from a family would receive technical education free of cost while a low-cost housing scheme would also be made part of this multi-dimensional initiative.”
