Prime Minister Imran Khan has launched One Window Ehsaas \u2013 a one-stop shop for all the Ehsaas beneficiaries and people looking for information about the programme. The One Window Ehsaas Center has been opened at Sitara Market in Islamabad where people, who are registered under Ehsaas Kafalat Programme, can walk in to receive their Stipends through the Point of Sale (POS) or an ATM machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ehsaas Kafalat programme is a vast and multi-dimensional programme under which more than 100 pro-poor schemes have been launched to facilitate them. Prior to Ehsaas One Window Center, the deserving beneficiaries had to visit different offices to find out about the benefits they are entitled to. The launch of this centre provides all the information and facilities at one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Window Ehsaas has six pillars and a one-stop shop is just a part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
