Pakistani Punjab's CM Free Milk Program for Students

Education is the backbone of any society. The more people are educated the better jobs they will get. This in turn is better for Pakistan’s economy and the individual’s situation in life. According to studies and research surveys, countries with high literacy rates make more progress in their community development, economic growth and human development. Education enhances a person’s productivity, communication skills, confidence, critical thinking discipline and much more. If you want to be financially stable, there is no way you are going to be without having a proper education.

The CM has announced a ‘free milk’ program for children studying in Government schools from preschool to Grade V. This decision was made during a meeting discussing ‘important’ changes for education in Pakistan. However, spending 27 billion rupees on milk while the education system is already suffering from a lack of schools and proper facilities for ones already existing, seems irrational and inadequate.
