KOHISTAN, Jul 22 (APP): Chairperson Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), Senator Rubina Khalid on Monday said that the BISP reflects the vision of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto for the welfare of poor women in Pakistan.
Mohtarma laid the foundation of this program during her exile in Dubai and it was later implemented by President Asif Ali Zardari in 2008.
Speaking at public gatherings in Tehsil Batera, Pattan, and Palas, Senator Rubina Khalid reiterated the commitment of BISP to uphold the dignity of deserving women by ensuring full disbursement of funds without deductions, as directed by President Asif Ali Zardari and Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
BISP chairperson further mentioned that under the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif, scholarships are being given to children of deserving families. The Benazir Nashonuma Program plays a crucial role in meeting the nutritional needs of women and children.
She added that skill training programs for deserving women and their family members are also being initiated to help reduce poverty.
Chairperson Rubina Khalid emphasized that 8171 is the only official number from which payment receipt messages are sent; any message from other numbers is fraudulent.
Upon receiving a message from 8171, beneficiaries should visit the payment center. There is no fee for the dynamic registry.
Rubina Khalid also visited the BISP District Office in Pattan, Lower Kohistan, where she reviewed administrative matters and instructed the staff to provide better guidance and facilities to deserving women.
