Bhagwant Singh Mann said that constructed at a cost of Rs 4.16 crore this 400 seat state of the art auditorium, is an engineering marvel, which is equipped with latest state of art technical equipment including Projectors, Air conditioners and others.

In a significant move to address the shortage of school principals and enhance the quality of education in government schools, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government of Punjab has increased the promotion quota for school Principals to 75%. This decision will pave the way for the appointment of 500 new principals across the state’s schools.

Under the previous Congress government, the quota for principal promotions was reduced to 50%, leading to a substantial shortage of principals in Punjab’s government schools. This change not only hampered the promotion opportunities for deserving senior educators but also resulted in critical vacancies due to delayed recruitment processes and legal disputes.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday said that age old family ties of Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa with operatives in Pakistan were behind the theory that 50 bombs have been smuggled into the state as intelligence agencies have no inputs regarding it.

In a statement, the Chief Minister said that it is well known fact that Bajwa family is well connected with the Pakistani operatives since decades due to which he is getting such irrational and baseless information. He said that while intelligence agencies have no such inputs Bajwa’s friend sitting across the border must have told him about their plans to disrupt peace and progress in the state. Bhagwant Singh Mann asked the Congress leader to substantiate his claim or face action for creating panic amongst people.
