ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif officially launched the PM Youth Chromebook Scheme on Sunday, aiming to distribute 500,000 refurbished Chromebooks to students across Pakistan. This initiative is designed to enhance digital literacy and provide students with the necessary tools for modern education.

During the launch event, PM Sharif emphasized the importance of technology in education, stating, “In today’s digital age, access to technology is crucial for our youth to compete globally. This scheme will empower students and bridge the digital divide in our society.” The Chromebooks will be distributed to students from underprivileged backgrounds, ensuring equitable access to educational resources.
