Why Is the Nigehban Rashan Program Important?
Punjab has over 3 million families living below the poverty line, and rising inflation (between 9% and 11%) makes it difficult for them to afford basic necessities. During Ramzan, when expenses increase, this program plays a crucial role in ensuring that underprivileged families have enough food for Sehri and Iftar. By simplifying the registration and distribution process, the government ensures that every deserving family gets the support they need.
