Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif launched the "PM Youth Chromebook Scheme," an initiative designed for students.

In a statement on the initiative, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar announced that, for the first time, devices would be distributed to students at both formal educational institutions and religious seminaries (madrasas).

Dar stated that 250,000 students would receive Chromebooks each year under the scheme, with the aim of reaching 500,000 students within two years. Commenting on the inclusion of madrasa students, Dar emphasized that this represented a historic national consensus recognizing every child's right to access modern technological tools.
