The Prime Minister said that his government is prepared to commit more resources to education and prioritize it as it considers it critical to human resource development and future of the nation.
is there any benefit for the students of G-B studying away from home .. last time we received a letter in Punjab university from education ministry in which it was clearly stated that there would be no benefit for students of G-B studying in any other province..
This is really good job done by our Old baba. thank you PM.
great decision by the Govt. of Pakistan, a vibrant program with initiative approved by the PM and his interim cabinet to promote education in far flung areas of our country.
Great opportunity for student of GB. Is this scholarship also applicable for students who are availing masters degree from distance learning private institutes?
ristriction and cofinment of students in regional university is a big hurdle for talented students who get admission in reputed versitise
thanks to PM sahb and especially Chief Secretary Gilgit Baltistan : his gigantic effort brought this dream into reality 🙂
if this scheme restricts students studying other then their region, it will be useless because most of the students moved to other provinces and federal capital due to worse law and order of Gilgit with suspension of academic session at KIU.
