The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) will host a session to honour the bravery and sacrifice of the Sahibzadas, sons of Guru Gobind Singh, from December 22 to 24, said Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains Saturday.
Bains said the three-day session will imbue students on the life and martyrdom of Baba Ajit Singh ji, Baba Jujhar Singh ji, Baba Zorawar Singh ji and Baba Fateh Singh ji. He said all Punjab schools including government, private and aided will observe the curated educational program, featuring a 15-minute session in daily morning assemblies.
The education minister directed the PSEB officials to ensure that the pedagogical material is meticulously prepared and duly vetted by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to ensure historical accuracy, reverence and authenticity.
The sessions are designed to immerse students in a golden chapter of Sikh history. It will also explore Guru Gobind Singh’s departure from Qila Anandgarh Sahib and the events that led to the Saka Sirhind, he said.
He also informed the PSEB headquarters will host spiritual and historical discourses, alongside Kirtan Darbar by school students, on the same dates. These events aim to create a deep connection to Punjab’s history and valour of Sikh warriors, highlighting the martyrs’ unwavering sacrifices for righteousness.
Bains also said, “True education goes beyond textbooks, to build character and connect our future generations to the roots of unparalleled sacrifice that define our land. The three-day educational program on the Sahibzadas is a step to honour supreme sacrifice and instill the timeless values of courage, righteousness and resilience in every student of Punjab.”
