The PM Laptop Scheme 2025 has officially reopened. The government will distribute 100,000 laptops to high-achieving students enrolled in public sector universities across Pakistan. This program is part of the broader Digital Youth Hub initiative, which aims to improve digital access and boost skill development among the youth.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif launched the scheme under the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme. It supports talented and financially deserving students, ensuring fair access to digital tools in every region, including remote areas like Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
What is the PM Laptop Scheme 2025?
The Prime Minister’s Youth Laptop Scheme is now in its fourth phase. It provides laptops to top-performing students to help them succeed in a digital learning environment. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) manages the program and oversees the distribution process.
This scheme helps reduce the digital divide and makes digital education accessible to everyone, especially students who cannot afford laptops on their own.
