In his Twitter statement, Shahbaz Sharif said that the nationwide launch of Prime Minister’s laptop scheme yesterday resumed the journey the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had started in Punjab.
“Nothing makes me happier than doing my bit for the empowerment of our youth & students, who hold the destiny of this Country in their hands,” he said.
The prime minister said that it’s a fascinating journey of how these laptops helped students with their studies, become entrepreneurs & pursue gainful careers over the last decade.

Under the present scheme, 100,000 laptops will be distributed among the students of Pakistan in a phased manner.
