Maryam says Punjab enters AI era, awards scholarships, laptops to students

Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced that Punjab is entering the era of artificial intelligence, a claim made while criticizing the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for alleged lack of development. During a laptop distribution ceremony in Sahiwal, she awarded 'Honhaar' scholarships to 1,500 students and provided laptops to 4,700 students, emphasizing the establishment of AI laboratories in the province. Maryam Nawaz also directed the construction of a girls' hostel at the University of Sahiwal and the restoration of nurses' scholarships, while announcing the provision of 100,000 electric bikes to students this year with affordable installments of Rs3,000. These initiatives, despite budgetary constraints, aim to empower youth and facilitate their travel, underscoring the government's commitment to public service and technological advancement in Punjab.
