Besides, the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan (ICMA) has also offered to give full scholarships to position holders, providing them with a chance to study further for free.

A ceremony is going to be organized, specifically in which Karachi city’s top students of the public colleges, along with their parents and important dignitaries, will be specially invited.

The electric bicycles, already received for distribution, will be handed over to the position winners on this occasion. Officially, the scheme is going to run every year until 2030.
