Chandigarh/Amritsar/Tarn Taran, April 9:

                To strengthen infrastructure and ensure a top-tier education system in Punjab’s government schools, School Education Minister S. Harjot Singh Bains today inaugurated development projects worth Rs 4.25 crore in the border districts of Amritsar and Tarn Taran under the “Sikhya Kranti” initiative.

                During his visit to border-area schools, S. Bains inaugurated works worth Rs 32.02 lakh, including seven renovated classrooms and a toilet block worth Rs 23.38 lakh at Government Senior Secondary School (Girls), Tapiala, and a new classroom and toilet block worth Rs 8.64 lakh at Government Primary School, Tapiala in the Rajasansi assembly constituency. Additionally, he dedicated three classrooms, constructed with the cost of Rs 48.7 lakh, at Government Senior Secondary School, Jheeta Kalan, and a boundary wall with a toilet block established with the cost of Rs 8.14 lakh at Government Elementary School, Jheeta Kalan under the Attari assembly constituency. 

                The Education Minister also announced grant of Rs 29.32 lakh for the construction of two classrooms, a basketball court, and a toilet block at Government Senior Secondary School (Girls), Mahan Singh Gate, in the Amritsar East assembly constituency.

Earlier, S. Bains visited schools near the international border in Khemkaran (Tarn Taran), inaugurating Rs 3.07 crore worth of infrastructure projects, including smart classrooms, science labs, and boundary walls. After inaugurating facilities in villages like Kals, Mastgarh, Mehndipur, Khemkaran, and Wantaara Singh—located just 20 meters from the border—he emphasised that the Punjab Government’s ambitious “Punjab Sikhya Kranti” was launched from revolutionary land of Khatkar Kalan on April 7. He also announced a Rs 20 lakh grant for Government School Mehndipur.

Highlighting the government’s commitment, S. Bains stated that over Rs 2,000 crore is being invested to transform the government schools, with 12 percent of  the total expenditure in Punjab’s 2025-26 budget allocated to education—the highest in history. He assured that all border-area schools would receive modern infrastructure and additional teachers, with over 300 new teachers have already been deployed in the last two years.

                S. Harjot Singh Bains said that a war-level campaign is underway under the “War Against Drugs” campaign to curb the supply of drugs from across the border. He also highlighted that special attention is being given to the spread of education, emphasising its importance in drug prevention.

                Taking on political opponents who questioned the Sikhya Kranti,  S. Harjot Bains stated, “When they had power, they did nothing for educational reform, but now they cannot see children from ordinary homes becoming doctors and engineers through good education.”

                the Education Minister said, “The people of Punjab are feeling the big changes in the education sector, and the people themselves will answer those who raise their fingers at this campaign.”

                He revealed that Rs 35 crore has been spent on infrastructure development in government schools in the Khemkaran assembly constituency alone.

                Meanwhile, Khemkaran MLA Sarwan Singh Dhun thanked the Education minister for his fourth visit to border schools, noting that improved facilities will uplift students’ futures.
