Benazir Income Support Programme is designed to eliminate poverty from the country

Web Desk June 2, 2011     No Comment     Government & Politics

Karachi: Benazir Income Support program Director General Sindh Dr Ghulam Qasim Bughio said that Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) was launched after the inception of democratic government of Pakistan People’s Party, as a means to provide financial assistance to the poorest of the poor adversely affected by the high inflation and the impact of the international economic crisis. However, now BISP is being developed into a comprehensive social safety net by provision of Monthly Cash Grant, Vocational and Technical Training, Micro Finance for gainful self-employment and Health, Accident and Life Insurance.

He further said that Besides provision of cash grant as life-line, BISP has planned to bring about real change in the life of these downtrodden families. One of such initiative, Waseela-e-Haq, is aiming to break the vicious cycle of poverty through interest free financial assistance. This step would enable selected families to initiate businesses and entrepreneurship; thus, helping them to come out of poverty circle. The selection of these families is being done by computerized transparent balloting process. The step is basically designed to promote self-employment among women beneficiaries or their nominees to improve their livelihood. It offers Rs.300, 000 long term interest free financial assistance to randomly selected beneficiaries.

It is based on personal trust instead of any collateral and is a completely interest free financial assistance. Premise is that marginalized families have skills, which remain unutilized and untapped. The facility is alternative to the conventional banking system, which rejects the poor after classifying them on non-creditable. these training are provided in collaboration with SAFWCO and ECI for the deserving and eligible families of BISP.

In training workshop Director Lyari Mr Ghulam Nabi Babar, Director Karachi M Ilyas Soomro, Director HQ Pervaiz Iqbal, Media Officer Shafquat Ali and other officials of SAFWCO and ECI were present.

In the last DG Sindh giving certificates to the eligible Waseela-e-Haq beneficiaries.
