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.

laptops to young and bright students studying in public sector higher education
institutes (HEIs) across the country and Azad Jammu & Kashmir. The scheme

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
