In a major move to enhance educational access and digital inclusion, the Punjab government has announced a new initiative to provide free laptops to students enrolled in private universities across the province.
Under the program, eligible students will receive laptops to support their academic work, research, and online learning—especially as digital education becomes increasingly essential. The initiative aims to help students who may otherwise struggle with the costs of essential technology.
Officials stated that the program reflects the government’s commitment to empowering youth and bridging the digital divide. They emphasized that access to laptops will help students stay competitive, pursue innovative projects, and benefit fully from modern educational tools.
Students and educational experts have welcomed the announcement, describing it as a “game-changer” that will encourage learning and ease financial burdens.
Details about eligibility criteria and distribution timelines are expected to be shared by the higher education authorities in the coming days.
