Recently, Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar launched the Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Scholarship program for “talented and deserving” students. The scholarship aims to allow deserving students to uplift their social and economic conditions by furthering their education. Underprivileged and talented students can advance academically by virtue of this program.

Under this program, 15,000 scholarships will be provided to students out of which 891 and 14,000 will be reserved for undergraduate and intermediate students, respectively. A small quote of 10% will also be reserved for children of government employees. According to Usman Buzdar, this scholarship will be awarded on the basis of need or merit as 50% of the scholarships will be given on merit and the rest will be reserved for underprivileged students. The Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Scholarships combined with Single National Curriculum are two of the most important initiatives to alleviate discrimination in education.
