Prime Minister Imran Khan, while presenting the largest welfare program in the history of the country to make Pakistan a welfare state, announced a special relief package of Rs 120 billion for 20 million families. While announcing the package he said that lower sections of the society will be given a 30 percent subsidy on ghee, flour, and pulses in view of inflation.

Prime Minister’s package

* The needy ones will be given a 30 percent subsidy on ghee, flour, and pulses.

* About four million deserving families will get interest-free loans to build houses.

* Health insurance cards will be provided to one member of each family in the country.

* Health justice card facilities will be provided in Punjab.

* Under the scholarship program, Rs. 47 billion will be provided for 6 million scholarships Rs. 1400 billion is being allocated under the Successful Youth Program.

Situation of inflation

Inflation in the country has reached the highest level of the current financial year in the month of October. According to the statistics agency, the rate of inflation in October 2021 was 9.2 percent, in September it was 9 percent. 

With the announcement of the PM’s package, ghee and cooking oil of different brands have been made more expensive at utility stores. According to the notification, coking oil has been increased to Rs 65 per liter while the price of ghee has gone up to Rs 53 per kg.

Prices of flour, ghee, edible oil, meat, and vegetables are out of reach of the people. Railways have increased fares due to an increase in petroleum prices so that the prices of all commodities have gone up which is many times more than last many years.
