The Balochistan Ehsaas Program helps poor families in Balochistan by giving them financial support. The government provides money to people who cannot afford basic needs like food, clothes, and medicine. This program is part of Pakistan’s Ehsaas initiative, which works to reduce poverty across the country.
Families who qualify receive Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 14,000 every three months. The money is sent directly to their bank accounts or through Ehsaas payment centers. To join the program, people must meet certain conditions, such as having a low income and a valid CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card).
