The government has allocated billions of rupees for this project under which interest-free loans of up to Rs500,000 will be given to four million households.

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar said that under Kamyab Pakistan, one member of a family will be imparted technical education. In addition, he said, people from across the country will be included in the low-cost housing scheme, while a mechanism has also been developed to help the low-income people through micro-financing.
