GILGIT: The Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (AKRSP) has started its survey for the Benazir Income Support Program in parts of Gilgit, sources said on Tuesday.
They said that Nadar-1 is the first place where survey teams have started collecting data as per the requirements of the data forms.
“The survey will be launched in the rest of Gilgit-Balitistan (G-B) shortly,” an official of the foundation added.
Earlier this month the government had sublet the task of conducting the survey in G-B to AKRSP because of its credibility in the field of community development and their role in poverty reduction.
The other reason for assigning the task to AKRSP, a government official said, was because of the organisation’s reach in the area. The organisation had been working in this part of the world since the early 80s.
