You know the brand has put in effort when a Ramadan TVC is not entirely revolving around the preparation of iftar, as the cliche usually requires. Mezan’s latest Ramadan campaign is far away from the cliche and yet, it is able to rekindle Ramadan’s essence within the viewer in a powerful way. Featuring a Naat as the TVC’s audio, the ad is a compilation of various lessons that Ramadan aims to re-instill within the Muslim community.

#MezanRamadan TVC

The lessons in the TVC are taught with the help of numerous instances involving a number of people. As you go through these instances, they make an emotional impact on you for it tells you that being a good human does not take a lot of effort. It is simple things that you need to look out for. If you are good and kind at heart, you will help a speechless animal that’s hurting; you will care for a needy neighbor; you will put someone else’s needs above you.

Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) Teachings

All these lessons are deeply rooted in the Islamic teachings for they are what the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) taught to us.

“Kindness is a mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith.” (Al-Tirmizi)

“He is not a believer whose neighbor is hungry.” (Sahi Bukhari)

“Best charity is that given by one who has little.” (Sunan Abi Dawood)

But what really moves one in this TVC is that when you do follow the teachings of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and show to Allah that you are genuine, you are rewarded with peace, inner happiness, and above all, someone else will always reciprocate your good deeds.

So for instance, look at the examples shown in the TVC. There is a man in the desert who treats a goat that’s hurt. Then there is a fisherman, who gives what he scored at the sea to his hungry neighbors. Last, but not least, we see a young child who chooses to donate his pocket money instead of getting a ball he really wanted.

You get it all back

In the follow-up scenes, we see Shoaib Akhtar entering the canvas, a former cricketer known for his talent of bowling. The kid who had to let go of his desire for cricket ball gets to play with Shoaib Akhtar. The man who was a kind neighbor gets to eat at the same table with the star. And the shepherd who had tended to the goat, when he felt cold, it was the celebrity who saw that and reciprocated by giving him not only his own shawl but also his time.

Have a look at the ad!

This initiative is the most beautiful one as of yet amongst other Ramadan campaigns. It highlights the essence of Ramadan and serves as a wake-up call to many Muslims who think that to be a good Muslim requires a lot of effort. Instead, it just requires you to genuinely respect the Prophet (PBUH), and when you have that genuine respect, the good comes out of you almost naturally. You need not overdo yourself because at the end of the day #HarCheezMezanMeinAchiLagtiHai.

Top 5 Horrifying Superstitions Pakistanis Believe In!

Every culture has their own superstitions. So, for instance, Americans consider 13 to be an unlucky number. Now whoever is superstitious will remove any sign of thirteen. And hence, several apartments do not have a 13 floor. Many airlines do not have a 13 number of seats. Similarly, Pakistanis also have a few superstitions that they believe in. In fact, ‘few’ might be an understatement.

So let’s explore a ‘few’ of them.

1. Don’t go to the roof with long wet hair

You are bound to have heard this one at some point in time. Do not go to the roof at maghrib if your hair is wet and long. If you are a girl, you will have heard it more than the boys. The justification the elders give is that the jinns pass by at that time, and they like long hair. So it’s likely that they will possess you.

2. Bit your tongue recently?

This one always gives me a complex because I tend to bite my tongue a lot. The superstition goes somewhat like this: if you bite your tongue, someone talked bad about you. So be careful next time you eat your food!

3. Cawing of crow

If you are a people person, you won’t mind this. But if you don’t like company, well, too bad because when a crow caws, a guest is upon your doors. You could always wet your hair and quickly go to the roof. Who knows, a jinn just may become your savior. I, for one, would always choose a jinn over a human.

4. Tasbeeh in the rain

First of all, Karachi does not get rain. But when it does, it rains cats and dogs. So what do you do to stop the rain? If you are superstitious, you will hang a rosary (tasbeeh) outside your door. Does it really stop the rain, you ask? Well, does a crow really bring a guest then?

5. Don’t take white things in open containers under the open sky!

They say, don’t take out white things in transparent containers under the sky. Something terrible always follows. But it made me curious, so I tried finding out what could be that bad. It’s because when the cat sees the white. And assuming it’s milk, it attacks. That’s a bad thing.

Anyway, these were a collection of a few superstitious beliefs that Pakistanis have. What do you think?

Desis Are Offended After This ‘African’ Biryani Recipe Goes Viral

By
Mehak Zehra

Image Source: Twitter

Biryani is close to almost all of the desi’s hearts. Be it Hyderabadi or Sindhi, Bombay, or Mughlai, Biryani remains sacred for Indians and Pakistanis with the same intensity. And when someone attacks Biryani, you see the archrivals uniting their efforts to call them out.

An event recently happened, which proved this point. Food 24, a South African publication excelling in food, took to Twitter what they called a Biryani recipe. The video showed a dish that had rice (check), chicken (check), potato (check), black lentils (?), non-golden onion (?). And it looked all gooey.

Yes, it did happen. Have a look at the video!

1. And I am Shahrukh khan

Because we refuse to believe that such a dish can be called ‘any’ form of Biryani, so we can easily make such a claim.

2. Biryani: Defining sacred

In this time, when everyone is living their way, we need to define sacred in clear terms. Because clearly, the internet needs it.

3. Laaton kay bhoot

This one was plain hilarious now. The Pakistani touch? Well, we would like to correct it by calling it the brown touch.

4. You don’t have to be a cook to know Biryani

Well, this scene told us we could never show the video to our moms. Because in the desi family, even a 3-year-old knows an onion is supposed to be fried golden.

5. Cooking Biryani questions

ShivaniChandra13 was all business. Instead of lashing out or making fun of it, she posed the question. She asked, “Do none of these cooking videos ever actually ask a brown person how their food is made before posting these ridiculous versions?!”

6. Should we curse them, though?

Well, well, cursing them with diarrhea with COVID going on does not seem very nice. So let’s not go there. But eating that would probably lead to it anyway…

7. In the end, a request…

In the five steps of grief, towards the end, a person is just exhausted. They lose all the energy to put up a fight. And that is what probably happened here. So this twitter user decides to keep it plain simple and easy. ‘Please delete this video, thank you.’ How simple can you go from here?

Blunders do happen, we understand. But an error this significant which attacks the entire South Asian culture, is unacceptable. With the kind of response they received on Twitter, Food 24 realized their mistake and announced that they would remove the video from all other outlets. Later, they said that they would not delete the Twitter video for the sake of discussions. I mean, no wonder, did you see the retweets and comments desis made?

They apologized, which is good. Hopefully, next time they decide to explore the heritage of any culture, they will ensure they corroborate the recipe with multiple sources.

Pakistanis Share Their Funniest Musical Misunderstandings

By
Mehak Zehra
-

Songs are the soul’s food. They have their own genres, and no matter how picky you are, you will like at least one of those genres. And when you do, you will sing along those songs. But the best part is that when you become confident about the songs, you sing them at the top of your lungs with full force. It could be that you have got the right lyrics, but it is also possible that 15 years later, you find out that the songs you were singing in Europe trying to enact some Bollywood scene was really a musical misunderstanding.

And apparently, several people have had a similar incident in their life, minus the Europe part. So we have attempted to compile some of those musical misunderstandings. Have a look!

1. When your musical misunderstanding can become a relationship misunderstanding

Sing that in front of your partner, and they will surely be pissed. And honestly, it doesn’t even make romantic sense now, does it? Or were you assuming that the singer wanted to make his/her loved one jealous?

2. This song has seen more versions than the sand particles on the earth 

I will never forget that girl on the Pakistani show who messed up this song forever for me. In fact, I will always remember her confidence.

3. Wasn’t it the right one? Woah!

Wait, I did this every time I saw Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Amitabh is singing this song. You know, right before Anjali breaks that world-famous gamlaaaaa. 

4. Ahem, please tell us your parents were not around.

Nazia Hasan songs are so beautiful that even though the singer belonged to your parents’ generation, even you love her. Or am I wrong? And you can sing her songs to your heart’s content in front of your parents as well but if you haven’t understood them right, it better you don’t do it; especially if you have this misunderstanding.

5. I had the same idea!

Kal ho, Na ho is one of those evergreen Bollywood movies that one can watch any day. And that moment when SRK sees Preity Zinta for the first time and the song begins, even I sang it as pretty huma for a good few years. And all this even though I knew the character was not named huma.

These are just a few of those that people shared over Facebook. Even you can contribute to this list. Maybe your misunderstanding is worse than these. If so, we will include yours here. So do not forget to comment on Facebook and let us know!

Huawei Announces 6G Technology Details & Launch Date

Huawei is among the front runners of technology when it comes to progress and development. They were some of the first brands to introduce 5G technology to the world and they still have a lot up their sleeve. Despite them being relatively newer than other brands, they have established themselves quite well. Now, they seem to have announced details related to 6G technologies!

Yes, that is 6G that you have read above. We have barely seen much of 5G yet and already the world is moving ahead. 5G is considered in the development stage right now and it has not even been deployed everywhere. There are many places that still haven’t been able to complete the infrastructure to support 5G. It is like the development of electric charging stations; the change will be gradual. However, now it seems that 6G is already making its way into development.

6G and huawei technology

Huawei Moving Briskly

We had barely begun to absorb news related to Apple and now Huawei is on the track too. They are one of the fastest-growing markets of today and everyone wants a piece of it. The rotating chairman of Huawei has even revealed when they expect to see 6G deployed.  According to him, Huawei intends to deploy this technology as soon as 2030. Considering how new its predecessor is, 6G seems to be evolving at an exponential rate. They are releasing tech faster than ‘Rockstar’ releases GTA games!

Additionally, they have also given us additional information related to the technology. The chairman has also said that 6G is said to be 50 times faster than 5G. It will not only surpass 5G technologies but will also enhance the current existing one. This means that not everyone will have to move towards 6G as soon as possible. Rather, they can take their time and watch it grow, update and adapt.

No brain controlling here

Of course, it can be noted that rumors of 6G will also begin to circulate soon. When 5G first came out, people refused to go near it because it, allegedly, caused brain cancer or allergies. If there was a logical backing to this accusation, one would investigate but it was all base-less. While Huawei has made this announcement, they may not be the only ones working in this field. It is quite possible that other titans are also working on similar technology and may come out with it soon.

2030 for 6G seems like a goal that can be achieved. It is like the UK saying they will remove all combustion vehicles by 2025 or Pakistan going 30% electric by 2030. We hope that Huawei continues to make such developments every month. It is always fun to read about the advancement of something, be it science or medicine. Huawei is not only one of the best companies for smartphones, but they are working on many other products too. They have a smartwatch range as well!

Umrah guidelines by Saudia

There are many faiths that exist today in the world. Where there is the presence of Christians, Jews and Hindus occupy too. Each person should be allowed to follow their own religion and no one should ever be forced to convert. Similarly, one of the prime religions in the world is Islam. It is considered as religion of peace, and it has a significant location at the heart of it. The Saudi government has come up with new guidelines for Umrah pilgrims.

Umrah is considered as one of the most pure forms of prayer in Islam. It involves a Muslim stepping into the bounds of Makkah and offering prayer at the Holy Kaabaa. As a form of prayer, the Muslim does 7 revolutions around the Kaabaa and 7 revolutions between the mountains of Safa and Marwa. This is followed from the old traditions and ways of the prophets who came before us. Islam is a faith which has a rich and robust history. Now, the Saudi Arabian government has issued new guidelines for Umrah pilgrims.

Umrah Helps The Soul

It is often seen that some religious practices are considered good for health. Not only do they allow you to detach from the negativity of society but allow you to get closer to God as well. When you are present within the bounds of Haram, you may feel this force drawing you towards the masjid. It is not only a force present but a positive aura. Now, let us dive into the new guidelines for pilgrims.

According to the guidelines, a person will first enter into the care center at Makkah. They will enter this place six hours prior to the Umrah. This is so they can get the status of their coronavirus vaccine checked. It is a precautionary measure that is being taken to ensure there is no spread of the virus. An infected person entering the city and the masjid could have disastrous results for everyone.

Further details

The pilgrims are then instructed to go to the gathering center where they will be given a bracelet. It is the presence of this bracelet on the wrist that will allow them to enter the masjid. You cannot go directly into the masjid and perform Umrah now; you will have to go through this procedure. Additionally, the ministry of Saudi Arabia has also given forms that can be filled to have dates and times allotted for the Umrah.

They have also said that even after the vaccine verification, Kingdom guidelines are to be followed inside the Masjid. The two Masjids here refer to Masjid e Nabwi and Masjid Al Haram. This is quite a useful initiative that has been taken by the government. Last year, visit to the place was completely barred due to the severity of the virus. Now, slowly, it seems that pilgrims may return to the place for prayers. Come Zilhajj, we shall have to see the guidelines for Hajj because that is a crowded time.

Web Desk

LAHORE: Zameen.com — Pakistan’s leading real estate corporation — has been crowned the winner of the 2021 Corporate Silver Cricket League that featured nine other corporate teams. The final match of the tournament was held in Jubilee Town without any spectators and in full compliance with all SOPs for coronavirus prevention.

Under the leadership of Coach Imran Khattak and Captain Zohaib Nabi, Team Zameen managed to beat the reigning champions, Meezan Bank, by bowling them out for 120 runs — 43 runs short of the 163 target set by the Zameen players.

The Corporate Silver Cricket League has long been organizing the most prominent corporate tournaments in Lahore, and the Zameen team formally joined it in 2017. In the latest edition of this cricketing competition, Zameen played six matches on their way to the final, where they maintained their good form and were eventually crowned the champions of the tournament.

On this victory, Zameen Sports Head Rizwan Kazmi commented that, “This is an important activity that the company and our CEOs encourage the whole Zameen Family to take part in. I believe such events boost the morale of our employees and strengthens our team spirit.”

Similarly, Coach Khattak remarked that “the team played exceptionally well and made me proud to be their coach in this tough competition”. Additionally, Captain Nabi also commended his team’s performances and further declared that “the team’s success is based on working together and adhering to a clear game-strategy that allowed us to properly express ourselves out on the cricket field”.

At the conclusion of the final match, Nadeem Akmal was declared Player of the Tournament for his incredible performances that saw him score 207 runs and take 8 wickets throughout the competition. In addition, Abdul Majid was rightfully awarded the title of ‘Man of the Match’ for scoring 32 runs in just 19 balls and taking 3 wickets. Way to go Team Zameen!

LG Has Rolled Out A Rollable TV But Is It Worth It?

LG

Based in South Korea, the tech giant LG is known for its innovation. This time it is rollable TV.

Yes, you read it right!

This tech brand has already made and circulated rollable TV within South Korea a year ago. But now, they are expanding it and sending it to their US consumers. But what is a rollable TV?

Saving Space with LG

So, we are all familiar with flat TVs, right? This one is also a flat TV. But the idea it comes from is saving space. You may be wondering how much exactly does a flat-screen TV occupies space. But you are thinking in terms of surface area. A flat TV does occupy vertical space. Hence, LG presents the solution for saving that. But you need not worry because it doesn’t compromise on the display. The TV will be big, but when you are not using it, it slides down into a compartment fitting itself by rolling.

Worth What?

The idea is excellent indeed, and looking at the video, it does seem neat. But paying $115,000 is a little extra, don’t you think? I mean, you can totally get a similar width and height TV just without the rolling feature for much, much less. Not only that, the function of TV is to entertain you, so if you are paying more for a TV, it should be because of some entertaining feature.

That said, it sometimes does happen that a huge TV right in the center may ruin the interior of the place. And if you are someone who is either very particular about the interior decoration or you are someone who has a few grands lying around, then you should totally opt for the rollable TV. They are calling it LG’s new Signature R OLED television.

The price for the US is not decided yet. But comparing its price in South Korea, we find that the TV cost 100 million won, which amounts up to $114,837. If they maintain the pricing, then the TV should cost $115k. The company has informed the consumers that if they are genuinely interested, they should try calling up the brand to find out.

The question now is: would you?

Everything You Should Know About Maggi Ladoos

The ‘Maggi ladoos‘ are doing rounds on social media, which seems to be another product of the pandemic food trends. The all-time favorite and easy-to-make comfort food now come in a variety of sweet and savory ladoos. The sweet type is made with crushed jaggery, butter, and cardamom powder heated in a pan, after which raw crushed Maggi noodles are added. This mixture is then converted into laddoo balls.

The spicy version of the ‘Maggi laddoo‘ is made in pakora style and served with sauce and chutney. The boiled Maggi is mixed with chopped capsicum, cheese cube, breadcrumbs, red chili powder, chili flakes, and oregano. The mixture is then rolled into flour and deep-fried like any other pakora. The savory version seems a little interesting and can be added to a list of Pakoras we tend to have in Iftars.

Twitter Reacts 

How can people not comment on something which sounds and seems extremely bizarre?

Everyone seemed to lose their minds on the weird food trend. At the same time, some mentioned that they have acidity by just looking at it. Others seemed to feel weird by just looking at it.

The creativity levels seem to be very high for someone who came up with the recipe. However, isn’t it a little risky to play with something which is loved by millions all around the globe? But then again, who knows that the ladoo recipe might suit someone’s taste buds.

If you are not going to schools or colleges, you must be staying up until sehri, arent you? But how do you make sure that you don’t slip into slumber when sehri is right around the corner? The easiest and most fun way is to watch a television show or a movie. So today, we have compiled a list of Netflix shows that you can watch to stay up until morning.

1. Money Heist

Given the hype of money heist, it is possible that you may have already watched the show. But, I think, we all can agree that this was one amazing show so there is no harm in watching it again. So let’s remind ourselves of the story and prepare for the fifth season which is not far away.

2. A Series of Unfortunate Events

Featuring Neil Patrick Harris as the villain, this show is what one can call, a dark comedy. And seeing our beloved Barney from How I Met Your Mother in this character is honestly a treat.

3. Khaani

Pakistani show that cast Sana Javed and Feroze Khan as lead actors was undoubtedly a blockbuster. It is vastly different from other Pakistani shows because it does not forgive a man just because he ‘loves the girl. It shows that the girl can love a man but if he is extremely misguided and has done some extreme evil acts, she is not bound to forgive him in the face of love.

4. Gilmore Girls (Limited Series)

A story about a mother and daughter; you may have watched Gilmore Girls and their seven-year-long journey of growing up. But it’s time for you to watch the limited series that features a year in their lives after a decade since the final scene of the original series.

5. Zindagi Gulzar Hai

Another Pakistani series, Zindagi Gulzar Hai has also made it to the list for none other than its famous chai ki piyali. But not just that, it also features a cute relationship of Zaroon and Kashaf that grows into a strong bond allowing both characters to develop further.

6. Cursed

A bit like witcher, but very amazing, Cursed retells the Arthurian legend but with its own touch. According to this, more than Merlin, it’s his daughter who helps Arthur in his quest of saving his people.

So try watching these Netflix shows, they may help in keeping you awake.

Pakistan’s most loved and famous rockstar has released a special Kalaam for the Holy month of Ramadan. Believe us when we say this will have you shedding tears!

Mustafa Jaan-e-Rehmat pe Lakhon Salam

Aslam picked one of the most renowned Kalaam of Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan. Hazrat Imam Ahmed Raza Khan is also commonly known as Aala Hazrat in the sub-continent and has a large number of devotees. 

Aala Hazrat’s Mustafa Jaan-e-Rehmat Pe Lakho Salaam is the most recited salaam in Pakistan and now Atif Aslam has covered it.

Atif Aslam has been getting the audience ready for his mega release. He released a series of teasers on social media, especially his Instagram, about the upcoming salam to the sacred presence of the Holy Prophet PBUH. 

Atif Aslam’s Creations

Atif Aslam’s voice has forever been the soulful melody Pakistanis turn towards. His rendition of Tajdar-e-Haram still is the most popular rendition of the song. Not only because a name like Aslam covered it but also because the soul and love he sung the song with is unlike any other. 

Atif Aslam’s Wohi Khuda Hai is also one of the most listened to Kalaams out there.

After Tajdar-e-Haram, this Kalaam will definitely be on the top of our playlists. Listening to Kalaams such as Jaan-e-Rehmat instils a sense of peace and connection which is unparallel to anything else.

Why Jaan-e-Rehmat is Special

In this Kalaam, Ali Pervez Mehdi, Nouman Javed, Ahsan Pervaiz Mehdi, and Kumail Jaffery also contributed to the recitation. Seeing all five stand together in their off-white shalwar kameez, heads bowed and hands folded evokes admiration. 

Atif Aslam has clearly won the hearts of his fans because of how the video is being received. Over 433,500 views on YouTube within the first hour of its release and many more as they keep growing by the minute.  His fans also took to Twitter to express their love for this creation.

As the video begins, ‘MUSTAFA JAAN E REHMAT’ along with ‘NAAT E RASOOL E MAQBOOL’ is shown in light colours to match the video’s overall divine theme. 

Ramadan’s Blessings

This Holy month of Ramadan is definitely not the same as we remain apart form our loved ones. This may also be the first Ramadan after the loss of many loved ones. In these trying times, as we continue to remain steadfast to our faith, we can appreciate Kalaams like these. They speak to us, comfort us and give us solace.

Automotive developments are becoming more and more common these days. Whether it is moving towards the electric era or releasing newer models, the development is in motion. Among the many new things being brought to market, the Honda Civic is one of them. Honda has just revealed the visuals of the post-production model of the 11th generation Civic and it is a marvel to look at!

When we first saw the 11th generation sneak peek, it was in a slightly different outlook. The color back then was shown in an orange shade with black mirrors and grille. A lot of people had a lot of praise for the vehicle and everyone was anticipating it. Now, the company has decided to disclose more details on the vehicle, and a slightly changed look after the prototype.

Civic and robust quality

If you are aware of the Honda vehicles, you must have heard of the Civic. It is one of the signature cars of Honda and it gives quite a lot to the driver in exchange for the investment. When the civic first came out, it gave quite a lot of people a whole lot of thrill. The drive was so stable and smooth alongside the hard suspension. Additionally, the lower ground clearance gave it better acceleration and less drag. Now we have the 11th generation Civic on our hands and we still have much to see in that model.

The new car that has been revealed is the post-production model. The body design is slightly different and the mirrors are the same color as the car. Additionally, it is also being shown in a less aggressive color than the prototype. Honda has yet to reveal a lot of the specifications but we have some information with us right now. Talking about the engine capacity, two variants are expected to appear.

Some details

The first is going to be a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine and the second is going to be the 1.5 liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. While the capacity is clearly greater on the first one, the turbo gives the second one more power and an edge. The transmission is expected to be 6-speed, but it remains to be seen whether there will be a manual variant or just automatic ones.

Civic Being Born Again

The entire view of the vehicle gives off a sports vibe. The previous models have also been known to fall under the sports vehicle domain and this one is not proving any different. The reason that people prefer buying a Civic is that it offers a lot of options under newer models.

For now, we are not entirely sure of the price of the car but it is expected to reach about Rs.34 Lac. This seems like quite an investment and, given the vehicle history, is sure to pay off. We hope Honda brings us more vehicular developments as well as innovations.

Educational schoalrship by Imran Khan

It has often been noted that a nation cannot progress without education. You may have the most ferocious weapons or the scariest arsenal, but you cannot move ahead if there is no education. Long gone is the time of civilizations that used to thrive on warfare and ordnance development. Our esteemed Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has just launched a new programme intended for the educational development of youngsters!

If we look at Pakistan with respect to other countries, it is relatively new on the map. However, this has not stopped its development by a huge margin. While progress has been slow, there have been many initiatives to ensure progress. Under the tenure of PM Nawaz Sharif, a laptop scheme was introduced where youngsters were given laptops. Similarly, there is a new scheme in town which goes by the name of ‘Rehmatul-Lil Alameen scholarship programme’.

Education From Imran Khan

As we have already discussed, the need for education is quite high if one intends to move forward in life. You may see scientists making breakthroughs and newer innovations after lots and lots of research. This may not have been possible were it not for education. So, what exactly does this programme bring for youngsters?

Since education can be quite expensive at times, scholarships can be extremely helpful. This is highly useful for non-government universities. Up till now, we are aware that this programme, by Imran Khan, stretches to at least more than 100 educational institutions in Pakistan.

The programme will help provide scholarships for undergraduate students who don’t have the means to pay tuition fee. It has been reported that about Rs.24 Billion has been approved for the scholarship programme to give to students. These are students who are in need of it. Punjab alone has had more than Rs.1 Billion approved for similar development.

Progressing Ahead

There are quite a lot of things that are beneficial for Pakistan, through this programme. Firstly, it shows that the country is willing to provide education. The government is not making it difficult for students to learn something. Over the next five years, this amount will be spent, divided on Rs.5.5 Billion per year on 70,000 scholarships.

The PM has also stated that no nation can progress without the development of education. Whether it is the science sector, the medical one, education is extremely vital. We hope that a lot of people are able to benefit from this programme We also hope they are given opportunities to polish their skills. After all, Pakistan has quite a few personalities who have done quite a lot for the world. It is possible for one person to change the geography of the world. This is considering they have the knowledge to do so.

It must also be noted that practical knowledge and hands-on experience is just as important for the growth of an individual as education.
