The Government of Punjab has delivered good news for thousands of women and families across the province in 2025. Under the leadership of the Chief Minister, the Aghosh Program has been expanded to ensure better health, financial support, and care for pregnant women and young children. This initiative is now more powerful and accessible than ever, offering both cash assistance and healthcare services to eligible families.
In 2025, new updates to the Aghosh Program bring hope and support to vulnerable mothers, particularly in rural and low-income areas of Punjab.
What is the Aghosh Program?
The Aghosh Program is a flagship welfare initiative by the Punjab Social Protection Authority (PSPA) aimed at improving maternal and child health. It targets pregnant and lactating women, providing them with cash transfers and health services to ensure safe pregnancies, proper medical checkups, and improved child nutrition.
Started under the Ehsaas framework and now running in collaboration with BISP and the provincial health department, the program plays a vital role in reducing maternal mortality and malnutrition across the province.
