LAHORE ( HAFEEZ REPORT )

Provincial Minister for Higher Education, Syed Raza Ali Gillani has said the process of distribution of 115000 laptops among universities’ students would commence from March 13. In the beginning, public sector universities’ students would be given laptops according to the laid-down criteria and merit.

He further said that latest top of the line, I-7 laptops have been procured for the students.
