"Ehsaas is the flagship programme of the government to reduce inequality" adding that under the programme, 134 points would be covered, she said.

About difference between "Ehssas" and Benazir Income Support programmes (BISP), Dr Sania said out of the 134 points, only seven points were related to BISP adding that other points would be covered by other ministries or institutions of the country.

She said the programme was for the extreme poor, orphans, widows, the homeless, the disabled, those who risk medical impoverishment, for the jobless, for poor farmers and labourers.

Dr Sania said a door to door survey would be conducted to get information of real economical conditions of beneficiaries of the programme.
