What Is Wazir e Azam Ramzan Relief Program (PMRRP)?
Wazir-e-Azam Ramzan Relief Program (PMRRP) is a federal cash support initiative.
Instead of distributing flour or ration bags, the government is transferring cash directly — allowing families to buy what they actually need.
Because dignity matters.
Because choice matters.
Because every home has different needs.
