Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif launched the Socio-Economic Registry (PSER) project in Punjab. The main objective of this initiative is to identify the socio-economic status of the population so that the government can target assistance to those who need it most. With a population of 130 million people, collecting accurate data is crucial to ensure that assistance reaches the right people.

The need for accurate data

The government’s future plans include using data from NADRA and the Benazir Income Support Programme to verify information. The accuracy of this data is critical to ensure that assistance reaches those who really need it.

The challenges of data collection

Collecting accurate data presents significant challenges. For example, there is a lack of reliable information on farmers and people with disabilities. Many farmers subdivide their land to avoid taxes, making data collection difficult. Similarly, reliable data on people with disabilities is lacking. Collecting accurate data is critical to providing adequate support and services to these groups.

Collecting crime data by 2024

The government is also committed to collecting accurate crime statistics in every district. This information is essential to addressing a variety of problems, including the high electricity bills that many residents struggle to pay. To ease this burden, a solar project is being launched for 4.5 million Punjab residents, with the aim of halving electricity bills, thus reducing financial pressure.

Improving healthcare for children

Efforts are underway to improve healthcare facilities for children in Punjab. Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif met with the Child Life Foundation to discuss improvements in child health care. One of the proposals is to introduce a second shift in hospitals to improve access to health care. The foundation has expressed its support for these health-care improvements.

The foundation praised the Prime Minister’s efforts and pledged support for future health-care reforms.

Last Words

The socioeconomic registry project led by Prime Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif marks an important step towards better social well-being in Punjab. Collecting accurate data is crucial to ensure that government assistance reaches those for whom it is intended.
