Aghosh Program 2025 – Women to Receive Rs.38,000 Support Under New Phase

The new phase of the Aghosh Program 2025 is set up to provide targeted Rs.38,000 support to eligible women so they can manage medical checkups, nutrition, and basic needs during pregnancy and after childbirth. The focus is on helping mothers in low-income families protect their health and give their babies a stronger start in life.

Under this phase, women who complete registration and health visits through approved centers can receive cash assistance in multiple installments instead of a single payment. That makes it easier to use the money across the full maternity and early childcare period rather than in just one month.

What Is the Aghosh Program?

The Aghosh Program is a maternal and child support scheme that offers financial help to women from deserving families. It usually works in partnership with:

• Local health departments

• Social protection authorities

• On-ground health workers and centers

The idea is simple: when a woman regularly visits health facilities for checkups, vaccination, and safe delivery, the family becomes eligible for cash assistance to cover basic costs like travel, nutrition, and medicines.

Who Can Qualify for Rs.38,000 Support?

Exact rules can vary by region, but generally, eligible women have:

• Valid CNIC

• Low-income household status

• Registration with the Aghosh Program or linked social scheme

• Proof of pregnancy and/or recent childbirth

• Regular visits to government or panel health facilities

Some areas may also prioritize:

• Widows or abandoned women

• Women living in remote or underdeveloped regions

Always confirm details from your nearest health center or social protection office.

How the Rs.38,000 Is Commonly Released

In many cases, the Rs.38,000 support is not paid all at once. It is often broken into installments connected to different stages of pregnancy and child health visits.
