Parents were instructed by the government to register for the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) as soon as possible.

Following the increase, the parents of a girl student will receive Rs2,000, and the parents of a boy student would receive Rs2,500.

Male and female secondary school students would receive stipends of Rs. 3,000 and Rs. 3,500, respectively.

Higher school male students will receive a stipend of Rs. 3,500, while female students would receive Rs. 400.

Additional payment of Rs. 3,000 would be given to parents of students whose kids finish primary school.
