On the occasion, he also inspected the Business Blaster Project and inaugurated a newly established modern computer lab in the school.
Addressing the gathering, the Cabinet Minister said that the Punjab Government is committed to making the younger generation not only educated but also self-reliant and employment-oriented. Encouraging students towards innovation, creative thinking and entrepreneurship, he emphasized that in today’s era, it is not enough to only study, but it is equally important to implement one’s ideas in real life.
On this occasion, he motivated students of Classes 11 and 12 to utilize the funds received under the Business Blaster Scheme to turn their business ideas into reality, enabling them to establish small ventures alongside their studies and become self-reliant. The Cabinet Minister stated that such initiatives encourage youth to move forward in new and innovative directions, which is a significant step towards building a self-reliant Punjab.
He also appreciated the efforts of the school management and teachers, whose hard work is nurturing new ideas among students. He added that under the Mann Government’s education revolution, government schools are being transformed.
