Fazilka admin launches ‘Learn & Grow’ initiative

Giving the details, Duggal said that under the programme, eminent officers and dignitaries from various walks of life will visit the schools and interact with the students. “This will help us give a holistic view to the students about the future challenges,” she added.

At the outset, the deputy commissioner while donning the role of a teacher interacted with the students and told them about the basics of being an ideal and responsible citizen. She apprised the students about the importance of duties along with the rights to excel in life.

Duggal will be interacting with students on a weekly basis in one of the schools of the district. In a 40-minute class, 30 minutes will be a lecture and the rest 10 minutes will be used to take feedback from students.

The deputy commissioner envisions that this scheme will stand the students in good stead, especially in their overall grooming and personality development. This will also help the administration to have direct access to the students and their needs in government schools, she said.

Duggal said that the top brass of the district administration will be visiting the schools and based on their feedback and report regarding the infrastructure and other facilities, the district administration will pump in the resources for the well-being of students.

The deputy commissioner said that this will have twin benefits as on the one hand it will help in ensuring comprehensive development of the students, on the other it will provide a factual ground report to the administration. This will help in giving the much-needed direction to the students of 10+1 and 10+2 in choosing their career, she added.

Duggal said that this initiative will go a long way in channelising the unbounded energy of the youth in a positive direction for the progress of the state and prosperity of its people.
