In the first phase, around 14,000 laptops were distributed to students in Lahore. The upcoming phase will extend the program to other districts of Punjab, enabling a larger number of deserving students to benefit.
Officials stated that the scheme is designed to foster digital literacy and support e-learning by giving students access to modern educational tools. The laptops are expected to help with research, online study resources, and academic assignments.
The program also seeks to address the digital divide by making technology more accessible for students from underprivileged backgrounds, while at the same time recognizing academic excellence through merit-based selection.
