A Brief Look at the Dhee Rani Program
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif formally launched the Dhi Rani Program. The main objective of this program is to help deserving parents fulfill their responsibilities related to their children, that is, social and religious responsibilities that bind their children in a religious relationship like marriage, with dignity.
Marriage, which is a religious and social contract and leads us to a prosperous and stable life, this program helps us fulfill that foundation of life with happiness. Some parents were not able to get their children married due to various difficulties, due to which the Punjab government has launched this program to support them, keep their hopes alive and promote stability.
