LAHORE: The Punjab government has introduced a new financial support system that provides assistance to widows and orphaned children throughout the province.
The Punjab Rahmat Card, which Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif approved as a welfare program, will deliver cash assistance to vulnerable families while protecting their social rights.
The program provides widowed women with financial support of up to Rs 100000 while orphaned children receive Rs 25000 each.
The scheme will initially benefit more than 50000 qualified households who meet its eligibility criteria. Officials said this initiative aims to ease financial burdens on vulnerable families, ensure their social protection, and promote equitable support for those in need.
