Re: New SCAM of Punjab Govt to fool youth…
I don’t know if the value of the Laptop being distributed is 40,000, the OP have so far not provided any source to confirm the figure!!!
Indian IT infrastructure is far more advanced then of Pakistan, the Pakistani IT infrastructure may take another 5-10 years before they can make their own DESK-TOP let alone a comparatively complex portable computer. So i guess the benefits for this kind of program are far more greater than the actual cost being incurred.
The criteria of selecting students is
One hundred thousand Laptops will be provided to following categories of youth in Punjab:
Computers/Laptops are necessity for research and development in this era, we often criticize govt for not taking R&D seriously or for not spending enough… but when govt decides to do it, then we have all kind of criticism, yes may be the cheap laptop can be made or purchased from India but given the situation between the two countries and improper IT infrastructure, it is almost impossible to have it…
Millions or should i say Billions go down the drain in the name of corruption and charity… if few millions are spent on providing such tools to the deserving students then i guess it is not bad deal at all
