Punjab to Distribute Laptops and Honhaar Scholarships in Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpattan
The Punjab government will distribute laptops and Honhaar Scholarships to students from Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpattan at a ceremony scheduled for October 15, 2026.
Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat said the event will take place at the University of Sahiwal as the provincial government begins another round of scholarship and laptop distribution activities.
Similar ceremonies are expected to be held across all nine divisions of Punjab during October and November.
Which Districts Are Included on October 15?
The upcoming distribution ceremony covers students from three districts:
Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpattan.
Eligible students from these districts will participate in the ceremony at the University of Sahiwal.
The announcement covers both the Punjab government’s Honhaar Scholarship initiative and its laptop-distribution programme.
Will Laptop Distribution Take Place in Other Punjab Districts?
Yes.
The education minister said similar events would be organised across all nine divisions of Punjab over the coming weeks.
The government expects the distribution schedule to continue through October and November.
Dates and venues for the remaining divisions were not announced in the latest update.
How Many Laptops Will Be Distributed?
The government has not disclosed how many laptops or scholarships will be distributed during the October 15 ceremony.
Students should therefore avoid relying on unofficial social-media posts claiming a specific quota for Sahiwal, Okara or Pakpattan unless the Punjab government publishes those figures.
Do Students Need to Apply Again?
The latest announcement concerns distribution, not the opening of a fresh registration round.
Students who previously applied under the relevant Honhaar Scholarship or laptop programme should follow official Punjab government and educational-institution notices concerning eligibility and ceremony arrangements.
A distribution announcement should not be interpreted as confirmation that new applications are currently being accepted.
What Is the Honhaar Scholarship Programme?
Punjab’s Honhaar Scholarship programme provides financial support to eligible students pursuing higher education.
The provincial government has also established dedicated assistance channels for students facing issues with the scholarship process.
Laptop distribution forms part of the government’s wider effort to improve student access to digital learning resources.
What Should Students Do Now?
Students from Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpattan who believe they are eligible should monitor official communication from their university or college and the Punjab education authorities.
They should confirm:
- whether their name is included in the beneficiary list;
- where and when they need to report;
- which identification documents are required; and
- whether attendance at the ceremony is necessary.
Students should avoid paying anyone claiming they can add a name to an official laptop or scholarship list.
The October 15 event at the University of Sahiwal will bring together eligible students from Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpattan for Honhaar Scholarship and laptop distribution.
Punjab plans to continue similar ceremonies across all nine divisions during October and November.
Further dates and district-specific figures should be confirmed through official announcements as the distribution programme progresses.
