The Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme was an initiative undertaken by then Prime Minister of Pakistan Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif as a part of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme.
The program aimed at the provision of laptops to deserving students studying in public and semi-public universities throughout Pakistan.
The Government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf abolished this scheme along with many others.
