The Ehsaas Amdan Programme of 15 billion rupees is aimed at creating respectable livelihood opportunities for those who are the most disadvantaged.

The programme involved giving away small assets to those who live below the poverty line so that they can earn their livelihood and come out of the shackles of poverty.

These assets include goats, cows, buffaloes, poultry, body of Chingchi rickshaws, and inputs for small retail outlets and small enterprises.

Speaking at the occasion, the prime minister had applauded the efforts of his adviser Sania Nishtar for launching the programme and had said that they are striving to make Pakistan a welfare state, the very idea for which the country was established 70 years back.
