What is Ehsaas Taleemi Wazaif?
Ehsaas Taleemi Wazaif is a conditional cash transfer program under BISP. It supports low-income families by giving cash stipends to their children for attending school regularly.
It targets children from primary to higher secondary school. The idea? Reduce dropout rates and help families afford education.
