ISLAMABAD: The government is all set to launch the country’s biggest welfare Kamyab Pakistan’ programme on July 29, 2021, which envisages pulling around four million families out of poverty, a senior government official said on Wednesday.

During a meeting with the Special Assistant to Prime Minister (SAPM) on Youth Affairs, Usman Dar, Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Shaukat Tarin said that the prime minister had decided to pace up the implementation of public welfare programmes across the country.
