        To foster the talent of students and encourage them in extra co-curricular activities, the Punjab Government has decided to organize Annual Day in all the Primary Schools of the state on February 20.

        Disclosing this here today, Education Minister Punjab Mr. Sikandar Singh Maluka said that different types of competitions would be organized in the primary schools on this occasion. He directed the officers of the department to ensure adequate participation of parents of the students, Panchayat members and other dignitaries in the annual day celebrations.

        Mr. Maluka also said that a state wide campaign to ensure ample enrollment of children in government schools in Punjab for the next academic session would be launched. He also emphasized the need to motivate the parents to admit their wards in the government schools so that they could take maximum advantage of government schemes launched in the field of education.

 Laying more emphasis on the girl child education, Mr. Maluka said that the parents need to be taught the importance of girl education so that they may not be deprived of education. Mr. Maluka said that under Right to Education Act-2009 every child has the right to education and he must be enrolled in the school. For the enrollment of students, teachers have to make sincere efforts for this purpose and make sure that each student takes admission in the next class.
