Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s initiatives, like the Primary School Nutrition Programme and ‘Apni Chhat Apna Ghar’ Programme, reflect a positive commitment to Pakistan’s progress, especially in underprivileged areas like southern Punjab. However, many challenges remain, such as extreme poverty preventing children from attending school, electricity shortages, and rising fuel costs.
Addressing these issues alongside broader educational reforms would provide a stronger foundation for sustainable development and improve quality of life for all citizens. While the recent initiatives are commendable, a more comprehensive approach is needed for long-term growth.
