Dhee Rani Program
Dhee Rani Program. The Punjab government has always taken steps for the deprived sections, but this time, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has taken such a historic decision that has not only won the hearts of the families of the prisoners but also of the entire society. The “Dhee Rani Program” will prove to be a new ray of hope for the daughters of those imprisoned in Punjab’s jails. This step is clear proof that the Punjab government will not leave any daughter alone due to the compulsion or imprisonment of her father.
Background of the Dhee Rani Program
The “Dhee Rani Program” is actually a welfare scheme under which the Punjab government bears the expenses of the marriages of poor and deserving girls. This program aims to ensure that no daughter is deprived of the happiness of her rights due to the financial or social weaknesses of her parents. Now the scope of this program has been extended to the daughters of those imprisoned in jails, which is truly a revolutionary and commendable step.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz’s Vision
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has always maintained that real development of society is possible only when the weaker sections are supported. Announcing the expansion of the “Dhee Rani Program” for the daughters of prisoners, she said that no daughter of Punjab will be deprived of her happiness just because her father is in jail. This sentiment proves that the Punjab government considers every daughter as its responsibility.
Statement of Provincial Minister Sohail Shaukat Butt
Provincial Minister for Social Welfare and Baitul Mal Sohail Shaukat Butt also called the expansion of this program an exemplary step. He said that on the orders of the Chief Minister of Punjab, instructions have been issued to all the regional directors of the Social Welfare Department so that the daughters of prisoners can be included under the “Dhee Rani Program”. He further said that the complete data of the prisoners has been linked to this program to ensure transparency. So far, 124 prisoners from Multan division alone have applied for the marriages of their daughters. This number is proof that this program has immediately created a new wave of hope in the families of prisoners.
Good News for the Daughters of Prisoners
After this initiative, those innocent girls who were facing difficulties in marriage matters due to their father’s imprisonment will now be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Under the “Dhi Rani Program”, not only will financial assistance be provided, but all the arrangements for marriage will be made possible with the support of the government. In this way, these girls will be able to start their lives anew, free from social pressure and financial burden.
Social Impact and Public Acceptance
Sociologists say that this initiative is not only a support for the families of prisoners but also a positive message for the entire society. It sends a message that every daughter is important in society, regardless of her background or circumstances. This decision is also receiving immense public acceptance, and people are calling it a glimpse of Maryam Nawaz’s people-friendly policies.
Future Prospects
This new chapter of the “Dhee Rani Program” will prove that the Punjab government stands with its citizens, especially those girls whose only fault is that their father is in prison for some crime. If this program is further improved, it can also emerge as a model for other provinces of Pakistan.
Conclusion
This decision of Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is certainly a historic and revolutionary step. The launch of the “Dhee Rani Program” for the daughters of prisoners is a practical proof that the Punjab government considers the happiness of every daughter as its responsibility. This program will not only support the affected families but will also send a positive message in society that will be a source of hope for the coming generations.
