Punjab Government Schemes

Punjab runs the widest range of provincial welfare and education schemes among the four provinces, tracked here on Awam Schemes. Seven active programs are covered: scholarship schemes, a solar power subsidy, a health card, a socio-economic survey, an education endowment fund, and an electric bike scheme for students. Each targets a different reader — students, households, or families checking their survey status. This page routes you to the right one based on what you need.

Which scheme to check first

If you are a household unsure of your registration: start with the PSER Survey if you’re unsure whether your household is even registered, since several other Punjab schemes — including the Sehat Card — draw eligibility from it.

If you are a student: check the Honhaar Scholarship or PEEF Scholarship depending on which fund you’re applying through; the Punjab Endowment Fund page explains how PEEF fits into the province’s broader endowment structure. Students who need transport should also check the CM Punjab Electric Bike Scheme.

If you are a household wanting lower electricity costs: go directly to the Roshan Gharana solar subsidy page, and families checking health coverage should open the Sehat Card guide.

Confirm which category applies to you — student, household, or survey status — then open the matching page above for eligibility and application steps. Each hub also covers what to do if your application stalls or your PSER details show as missing.

Please note: AwamSchemes is an independent information website and is not a government website. Always confirm eligibility, amounts and application steps on the official Punjab government portals before applying.

Frequently asked questions about Punjab schemes

Which Punjab schemes are currently active?

Seven Punjab programs are covered here: the Honhaar Scholarship, PEEF Scholarship, the Roshan Gharana solar scheme, the Sehat Card, the PSER Survey, the Punjab Endowment Fund, and the CM Punjab Electric Bike Scheme.

Do I need a PSER survey record to apply for Punjab schemes?

Several Punjab schemes, including Sehat Card eligibility checks, reference PSER household data. If your household has not completed the PSER Survey, start there; other schemes may not be able to verify you without it.

Where do students apply for the Honhaar Scholarship?

Honhaar is a CM Punjab initiative administered through PHEC (the Punjab Higher Education Commission). Check the Honhaar guide above for the current application route.

What is the difference between PEEF and the Punjab Endowment Fund?

PEEF — the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund — is the scholarship fund itself. The Endowment Fund page covers the broader structure behind it, including how PEEF relates to the province’s other education funding.

Can I apply for the solar scheme and the Sehat Card at the same time?

Yes — the Roshan Gharana solar subsidy and the Sehat Card are separate programs with separate eligibility. A household can hold both if it qualifies for each.

Is AwamSchemes a government website?

No. AwamSchemes is an independent information website. Always confirm eligibility, amounts and deadlines on official Punjab government portals before applying.
