ISLAMABAD: Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has released Rs. 21.3 billion for 4.7 million beneficiary families for the second quarter of Current Fiscal Year (CFY) during this month.
Payment for over 22,000 children at Rs. 200 per month has also been released for Waseela-e-Taleem initiative of the Programme, said an official of BISP.
He informed that some of the major activities in BISP are also in the pipeline, like extension of Waseela-e-Taleem initiative for the beneficiary children in 32 districts around the country.
A significant degree of work has already been completed and registration of children into the initiative will commence during the next month, he told APP.
He said the initiative is looking to target an enrollment of 1.5 million children in primary schools in the next two years.
The official further said transparency is the first priority of the administration and for this purpose BISP is taking necessary steps including a `payment verification interface', which aims to eliminate unnecessary delays in payments to the beneficiaries and ensures a real-time monitoring by all stakeholders of the Programme.
