Punjab has taken a big step toward helping students from Gilgit-Baltistan by expanding the Honhaar Scholarship Program. This initiative, approved by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, will now provide financial aid to students from Gilgit-Baltistan who are studying in Punjab’s professional educational institutions.
A Step Towards Educational Growth
This decision has been widely appreciated, especially by Faizullah Firaaq, the spokesperson for the Gilgit-Baltistan government. He thanked the Punjab government for this effort, calling it a major milestone in strengthening educational cooperation between the two regions. He highlighted that such programs will create better opportunities for students and help bridge the gap in educational access across Pakistan.
Dedicated Help Desk for Students
To make things easier for students, a Honhaar Scholarship Help Desk has been set up. This desk will operate from 9 AM to 5 PM, providing guidance, answering queries, and resolving complaints related to the scholarship. Students can reach out through the following contact options:
- WhatsApp: 0303-4002777, 0303-4002999
- Landline: 042-99231903-4
- Email: [email protected], [email protected]
These facilities will ensure that students receive the support they need without any hassle.
CM Punjab’s Commitment to Education
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has always emphasized the importance of education. She reassured students, saying:
“Students should focus on their studies while the government takes care of their fees. I consider every student of Punjab like my own son or daughter.”
This statement reflects her dedication to making quality education accessible to all talented students, regardless of their financial background.
Punjab’s Vision for Equal Educational Opportunities
The expansion of the Honhaar Scholarship Program shows Punjab’s strong commitment to ensuring equal educational opportunities for students across the country. By extending support to Gilgit-Baltistan’s students, Punjab is paving the way for a brighter future where financial constraints do not hinder a student’s education.
This initiative is expected to greatly benefit students who dream of higher education but struggle with financial difficulties. It also strengthens interprovincial educational ties, fostering a sense of unity and shared progress across Pakistan.
With Punjab continuously introducing student-friendly policies, this step adds another milestone in its mission to uplift education and empower the youth.
