Job in Banazir Income Support Program
- In the year 2007-08, the sharp rise in oil prices and primary products in the international as well as domestic market resulted in double digit inflation, which almost halved the purchasing power of the people. Hence, there was an urgent need for direct and speedy relief to the underprivileged sections of the society. Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is the Government of Pakistan’s response to the said compulsions.
- BISP was initiated in October 2008 with an initial allocation of Rs.34 billion (US $ 425 million approximately) for the financial year 2008-09.
- The Programme aimed at covering 3.5 million families in the financial year 2008-2009.
