Laptop Scheme 2025: Central Distribution Ceremony to Be Held on July 25

The Federal Government has finalized plans for the rollout of the Prime Minister’s Laptop Scheme 2025, with the official distribution ceremony scheduled for July 25 at the Jinnah Convention Centre in Islamabad. The announcement was made during a special committee session chaired by Education Minister Dr. Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.

Held to review implementation strategy, the meeting was co-led by Rana Mashhood, Chairman of the PM Youth Programme, and attended by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar. The session focused on reviewing regional allocations, application volumes, and the strategy for upcoming ceremonial events.

A key focus was placed on ensuring maximum visibility and outreach, with a dedicated media campaign in the works. According to Dr. Siddiqui, “The Ministry of Information will play a central role in rolling out a nationwide media campaign to inform students and academic institutions about the schedule and eligibility criteria.”

This initiative is part of the federal government’s broader commitment to improving digital access for students and promoting technology-driven education. Under Phase IV, a total of 100,000 laptops will be distributed to high-performing students at public universities and eligible technical institutions across the country.

“The empowerment of our youth through digital means is a cornerstone of national development,” said Rana Mashhood. He also mentioned that regional ceremonies will be organized in major cities following the main event in Islamabad, with details expected to be announced shortly.

Students are encouraged to track their eligibility via the HEC’s official website, where the merit lists have already been uploaded. The scheme supports innovation, academic research, and online education, which have become increasingly vital in the post-pandemic digital era.
