Rubina Khalid has recognized the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) as the largest social protection scheme worldwide. This program plays a critical role in providing financial assistance to underprivileged families across Pakistan, aiming to reduce poverty and improve living standards. Established in 2008, BISP has become a cornerstone of the country’s social safety net, supporting millions of vulnerable households.
In a significant development, Khalid’s statement underscores the program’s extensive reach and effectiveness in addressing economic disparities. BISP’s cash transfer system has been instrumental in empowering women and marginalized communities by offering direct financial support. The program’s scale and impact have drawn attention both nationally and internationally as a model for social welfare initiatives.
Meanwhile, the continued expansion and refinement of BISP are vital for Pakistan’s broader socio-economic progress. By mitigating poverty and enhancing social inclusion, the program contributes to national stability and development. Khalid’s remarks highlight the importance of sustained investment in social protection to foster equitable growth and reduce inequality in Pakistan.
