PSW lauds Punjab Govt laptop plan
Tax exemption for IT sector demanded
Islamabad: Dec 15
Chairman of the Pakistan Society Watch (PSW) Mian Shahid on Thursday termed move of the Punjab government to distribute free laptops among needy students a step in the right direction.
Other provinces should also design plans to equip the new generation with modern technology, he said.
Provision of free laptops to deserving students will open them to new experiences and opportunities, said Mian Shahid, who is also CEO of Saudi Pak Insurance Company.
Provision of computers to disadvantaged children is a noble charitable endeavour, private sector and charity organisations should support underprivileged students which will ultimately benefit the whole society, he said.
A computer allows the child to connect with a broader world of information, he said adding that absence of such machines will undermine development of young generation.
Computers have the power to transform the lives of children, he said.
Mian Shahid said that business community is satisfied with the transparent arrangements of the Punjab government for laptop plan.
Shahbaz Sharif should also launch an educational programme for farmers to guide them through SMS in local languages, he demanded.
He said that government can consider importing Indian laptops with all essential features at 35 dollar per unit.
According to a World Bank study, increased broadband penetration contributes towards the growth in the GDP therefore this sector should be exempted from all taxes, he said.
