    Adnan Tipu’s wife demands separate schools for celebrities’ children

    The wife of actor Adnan Shah, popularly known as Adnan Shah Tipu, wants schools where only the children of celebrities can study.

    Recently, Adnan Shah and his wife Hajira Shah participated in a morning show in which they discussed their four daughters.

    The actor shared that when their fourth daughter was born, a family member dejectedly commented that a daughter had been born for the fourth time in their house. He answered by saying, “What is your problem? Are you regretting it or congratulating us?”

    His wife added, “We replied, ‘Will you be providing flour, lentils, and rations for our household? We will feed them ourselves.’”

    Meanwhile, Adnan Shah expressed that having daughters is a special blessing from Allah. He said, “I am thankful to the Lord that it never occurred to me that I don’t have a son. The fact that Allah has blessed me with children is a great gift.”

    The host then asked if their children benefited from being the daughters of an actor at school.

    In response, Adnan Shah said, “They do benefit, but they also face many challenges. When a celebrity’s child is in school, other children often feel inferior, which leads to bullying.”

    Hajira Shah added, “My daughters are bullied a lot. This is why I am appealing to the government to establish schools in Pakistan exclusively for celebrities’ children, as my daughters and I are suffering because of this.”

    Everything you need to know about Ehsaas Rashan programme

    The registration of poor families whose monthly income is less than Rs31,000 has begun today under the Ehsaas Rashan Programme. Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection Dr Sania Nishtar, giving details of the programme, said that the eligible families will be able to obtain items of daily use like flour, oil, sugar and pulses at subsidised rates from Utility Stores and retail stores (kiryana shops). Small retail stores opened even in streets and localities will also provide this facility if they are registered and authorised for this system.

    Registration process:

    The National Socio Economic Registry (NSER) survey of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has been completed.  A database of 27 million households was originally developed during a nationwide survey under the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government in 2010-11.

    Another survey will be used to identify deserving families for this new pro-poor programme. It will take three or four weeks to complete the process of registration. The beneficiaries will need a mobile phone number registered on their Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC), which will be produced before the specific stores from which purchases on subsidised rates will be sought.

    How will it work?

    The kiryana merchants will require downloading the relevant app on their Android phones, entering CNIC numbers of the customers and pass on the benefits after authentication from the back-end immediately.

    The customer will receive a verification code, which would be entered by the kiryana merchant in the app.

    Eligibility Criteria:

    20 million households across Pakistan with a poverty score of less than 39 and an income of Rs 31,000 per month.
