The incumbent government would ensure that no deserving woman in Baluchistan remains deprived of financial assistance of BISP. BISP will provide a real list of poor to the government for effective service delivery. The performance of governments whether it be federal, provincial or local depends on reliable data for better targeted programs to eradicate poverty.  This was stated by Minister of State and Chairperson BISP MNA Marvi Memon while addressing a gathering of local government, notables and BISP beneficiaries in Divisional Office of BISP at Dera Murad Jamali.
