HYDERABAD: A laptop distribution ceremony for the Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme (Phase IV) was held at Shah Abdul Latif University (SALU).
The event took place at the Students Society Centre on the main campus, where laptops were awarded to students who qualified based on a rigorous, merit-based selection process.
Addressing the gathering, Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Yousuf Khushk hailed the initiative as a landmark moment for the university. He described the Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme, launched under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, as more than just a distribution program. “It is a national strategy aimed at empowering Pakistani youth,” he stated.
The Vice Chancellor outlined the key objectives of the scheme, emphasizing its role in promoting digital education and literacy by providing students with modern tools to access and analyze information. He highlighted that the program aims to bridge the digital divide by offering equal access to technology for talented students from low-income backgrounds, thereby reducing social and economic inequality.
