Increase in Eligible Families and Stipends
During her visit, Senator Khalid stated that the number of households benefiting from the Kafaalat program would increase. Currently, 9.3 million families receive stipends, but this figure is likely to increase. Along with this, the stipends paid to these families will be enhanced. This move is part of the government’s endeavor to provide additional assistance to struggling families and help them attain financial security. Increased beneficiaries: More families will participate in the initiative, broadening the support network for those in need. Higher stipends: Families’ stipends will be enhanced to provide more financial help.
Transparent distribution: A new financial model has been implemented to ensure that money are distributed fairly and transparently to all beneficiaries. Women-focused: The program’s primary goal is to help women achieve financial independence and economic empowerment.
Mobile Registration Vans for Remote Areas
BISP also uses mobile registration vans to reach persons in distant locations who do not have easy access to registration facilities. These vehicles are helping to register more women for BISP programs, guaranteeing that even the most remote communities can receive government assistance. This effort is critical for ensuring that all worthy families, regardless of location, may obtain the financial aid they require.
Conclusion
Senator Rubina Khalid’s visit to Skardu demonstrated the BISP’s continuous commitment to improving the lives of women and their families. The Benazir Skills Training Programme and the extension of the Kafaalat initiative are major steps toward economic empowerment for women. With mobile registration vans and a new banking model in place, BISP is guaranteeing that deserving families across Pakistan can get the help they need.
