Chandigarh, Oct 23
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Thursday said the government is making efforts to transform the youth from job seekers to job givers.
Interacting with students of Shaheed Subedar Mewa Singh School of Eminence in Morinda town, the Chief Minister said the government has heralded a new era of "education revolution" in Punjab.
CM Mann said that looking back at the past, it is truly disheartening to see how flawed policies once deprived poor children of their right to education.
He said 118 Schools of Eminence are being established in the state, with an investment of Rs 231.74 crore. These schools are considered a remarkable beginning toward a bright future for underprivileged children.
He said Punjab currently has 19,200 government schools, and nearly 25 lakh parents have participated in parent-teacher meetings.
