CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz Expands Himmat Card Program – Rs 10,500 Aid for 25,000 PWDs in August 2025

The Punjab government, under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, continues its Himmat Card initiative to support differently-abled people (PWDs) in the province.

What’s the Latest Update?

As of August 2025, the Himmat Card program has moved into Phase II, extending its support to more individuals. In this phase:

  • An additional 25,000 PWDs will receive the Himmat Card.
  • Each cardholder gets a quarterly financial aid of Rs 10,500.

Phase I had already issued cards to about 40,000 people, and this second phase continues the effort to reach more deserving beneficiaries.

What Does the Himmat Card Provide?

The Himmat Card acts like an ATM card that delivers:

  • Cash support of Rs 10,500 every three months.
  • Easy withdrawals via biometric verification at social welfare camps.

Why It Matters

This program is a key step toward:

  • Helping PWDs earn more economic independence
  • Offering them financial support in a dignified, reliable way
  • Ensuring fair and transparent delivery through a dedicated monitoring cell

How It Works

  1. Individuals are verified via biometric systems at local welfare camps.
  2. Eligible PWDs are issued Himmat Cards for stipend access.
  3. A monitoring team ensures the process is smooth and fair.
