Today, we are not merely providing educational facilities to another 100,000 children; we are giving hope, dignity, and a better future to 100,000 families.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Federal Minister emphasized that the Government firmly believes that education is a fundamental right of every child and not a privilege reserved for any particular segment of society. The children of workers deserve the same opportunities and access to quality education as those available to all other members of society.<br \/>\nHe further stated that this initiative will significantly expand educational access across the country, ensuring that no deserving child is deprived of education due to financial constraints.<br \/>\nChaudhry Salik Hussain reaffirmed the Government\u2019s commitment to transforming the Workers Welfare Fund into a modern, efficient, transparent, and people-centric institution, where every policy and every initiative revolves around the welfare of workers and their families.<br \/>\nConcluding his message, he stated:<br \/>\n\u201cThe hands that built Pakistan will now see their children write Pakistan\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decision to Provide Educational Facilities to an Additional 100,000 Children from Grade 1 to Intermediate under the Workers Welfare
