Shahida Begum brought up a calling attention notice on AIOU<\/a> students being left out of the program.

He told the assembly, nevertheless, that this matter will be discussed and decided upon.<\/p>\n

Siddiqui highlighted the government’s dedication to ensuring that the program benefits AIOU students, pointing out that since its inception in 2013, the program has given out more than 10,000 computers to students, both from AIOU and Virtual University (VU).<\/p>\n

She emphasized that these students heavily rely on computers for their studies, particularly those pursuing Ph.D. and M.Phil. degrees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
