One of the main feature of this program is that 50% scholarships will be granted to female students.

The Holy book of Quran also teaches us to follow the footsteps of Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and that's because it is very important for Pakistan to understand the vision behind its establishment and without studying the Riasat-e-Madina we can never understand it properly, he said.
