The Punjab government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, has launched Phase III of the Himat Card Program, a landmark social welfare initiative aimed at supporting differently-abled citizens.
At the inauguration ceremony, Provincial Minister for Social Welfare Sohail Shaukat Butt announced that an additional 35,000 beneficiaries will be included in this phase, raising the total number of recipients to over 100,000 during the current fiscal year.
The Himat Card provides quarterly financial assistance of Rs. 10,500, alongside other facilities designed to ensure dignity, independence, and social inclusion for those unable to work.
A Commitment to Inclusivity
The Punjab government also reiterated its commitment to strengthening job quotas for differently-abled persons, improving accessibility in public and private buildings, and implementing inclusive social policies across the province.
Officials emphasized that this initiative reflects the government’s vision of creating an equitable society where no citizen is left behind. By offering sustained financial support and expanding opportunities, the Himat Card Program has become a symbol of empowerment for thousands of families in Punjab.
