The Youth Program comprises of several schemes including Prime Minister's Interest Free Loan Scheme, Prime Minister's Youth Business Loans, Prime Minister's Youth Training Scheme, Prime Minister's Youth Skills Development Scheme, Prime Minister's Fee Reimbursement Scheme for Students from Less Developed Areas and Prime Minister's Laptops Scheme.</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Prime Minister's Laptops Scheme is for Talented Students with the main objective of this scheme is an attempt to enhance the scope of research and quality education in the country and increase the access to information technology.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Objectives</strong></p><div style="text-align:justify;">Investment in youth not only has the highest rate-of-return (ROI), but has also been recognized as the best long-term investment for prosperous future of any nation, with a positive demographic dividend. Many large countries have transformed their challenge of big populations with high growth rate into opportunities to bolster their economies by empowering their youth with marketable skills. This realization by the government was the catalyst that crystalized the project to empower youth by giving them laptops for their academic and research activities.</div><div style="text-align:justify;"> </div><div style="text-align:justify;">Distribution of laptops is envisioned to bring a paradigm shift in the current education and research culture in the country. In this information age, personal computing devices, like a laptop, is a must especially for students at higher education level. Keeping this reality in consideration and realizing the limited number of laptops availability for the program, HEC preference is to give these laptops to those who is at the beginning of their academic years as to avail maximum benefits of this initiative.</div><div style="text-align:justify;"> </div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

the Government of Pakistan has initiated a national program for distribution of
laptops to young and bright students studying in public sector higher education
institutes (HEIs) across the country and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The scheme
is part of the Prime Minister's Youth Programs for FY2013-14. The Higher
Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan is the executing agency responsible for
developing criteria, mechanism, modalities and a road map for procurement and
distribution of laptops under this scheme.</span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

ecosystem around the laptop instead of distributing "black boxes" to
students. Ecosystem as envisaged around the laptop hardware for this project,
consists of various components ranging from licensed/ genuine Windows 10
Operating System; Microsoft Office365 application software; Training
opportunity at Microsoft IT Academy at respective university/ institutes;
Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) Certification voucher, 3G EVO Device;
Access to HEC's National Digital Library using 3G/ 4G EVO Device and have oppertunity to take online cources from world renowned universities on subsidized rates through <a href="https://pakcoursera.org/">https://pakcoursera.org</a>. These aspects
will not only bring value to money but will create synergy with relevant
industries, as well as help HEIs to provide state-of-the-art technologically
