She emphasized that the scholarship program has helped such students continue their education and pursue their dreams.

The distribution of laptops and scholarships is part of the government's efforts to promote digital learning and reduce the financial burden on students.

The program covers various educational levels and aims to increase access to higher education for students from underprivileged backgrounds.
The ceremony was attended by students, faculty members, and government officials, who lauded the initiative for its positive impact on the education sector. The distribution of laptops is expected to enhance students' learning experience by providing them with essential tools for modern education.
