Sir: As a positive gesture, the scholarship amount has been increased tenfold for students hailing from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) who are pursuing technical, vocational and degree programmes. It is a known fact that our tribal areas have been facing a war-like situation for many years and routine educational activities have been badly affected. So, this exceptionally encouraging package for KP students will improve the education standard in those troubled areas. FARVAT MALIKLahore e
