The Parwaz Card 2026 is a flagship empowerment initiative introduced by the Government of Punjab under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz.
The program is designed to unlock opportunities for young people and small business owners through interest-free financing, skills development, and a fully digital application process.
In 2026, the scheme has been expanded into two focused tracks—one for overseas employment and the other for local businesses (Asaan Karobar)—so applicants can choose the path that best fits their goals.
