The rising prices of everyday goods have hit the middle-income groups hard, and the lower-income group even harder. Items of everyday use are quickly becoming out-of-reach for many families across Pakistan, thus lowering their purchasing power and affecting their cost of living. In view of the substantial price hike and its subsequent effects on the marginalized segments of society, the government has recently launched the Ehsaas Rashan Riayat scheme to help to reduce the impact of inflation on those struggling to make the ends meet in these trying times.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated the highly anticipated programme during a ceremony in Islamabad, where he dubbed it as \u201crevolutionary.\u201d The initiative falls under the umbrella of the widely hailed Ehsaas programme<\/a>, which has been designed to help underprivileged families in Pakistan by reducing inequality, providing them with better resources, and lifting them out of poverty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEligible families will get a subsidy of PKR 1,000 per month on the purchase of flour, pulses, ghee\/cooking oil,\u201d the premier said during the event. \u201cThe World Bank (WB) has ranked Pakistan\u2019s Ehsaas Emergency Cash programme among the top four global social protection initiatives,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
