ISLAMABAD: PM’s Special Assistant Dr Sania Nishtar Sunday said the government would launch a new survey in next few months for precise identification of the poor people under Ehsaas Programme.
Data of the deserving households would be collected across the country through computerized digital system, she said while talking to Pakistan Television.
Dr Sania said Prime Minister Imran Khan had directed that the survey should be completed in the shortest time possible with utmost transparency so that no deserving citizen left out from the social welfare net.
She said the Ehsaas Programme was the flagship poverty alleviation initiative of the present government under the vision of PM Imran Khan, which was bringing a positive change in the lives of poor and deserving people. In fact it had laid the foundation of a global model for reducing poverty.
The SAPM said the government would soon set up one-window operation centers in major cities, which would assist the beneficiaries of the Ehsaas Programme, besides reducing the chances of duplication.
