According to a press release issued here, the number of beneficiary families in Dera Ismail Khan has increased from 135,000 to 185,000 due to the special efforts of the Minister of State for Poverty Alleviation and Social Safety Faisal Karim Kundi.

The BISP beneficiary women were not only getting financial assistance but the facilities were being provided to them under the Nashonuma program in case of pregnancy and the Waseela-e-Taleem program for their children's education.
Under the Waseela-e-Taleem Program, the children of each deserving family were given a stipend of Rs 3,500 which has also been increased to Rs 4,000.
Similarly, under the Nashonuma program, the additional assistance of Rs 2,000 and a special food package as per international health standards is given to each deserving woman during pregnancy and two years after the birth of the child.
The centres of the Nashonuma program have been established at the Tehsil level where the facilities of registration, Health facility, stipend payment, and delivery of food packages were being provided under one roof.
Moreover, he said that each cardholder received Rs 25,000 in financial assistance after last year's floods.
He said, "I am doing public service according to the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) party manifesto by setting aside any political motives."
