Bhattal exhorts students to excel
Ludhiana, February 5 Ms Bhattal was addressing students at the annual convocation and prize distribution function of Ramgarhia Girls College here today. Ms Bhattal informed that in the new education policy, the state government was laying main stress on the improvement in the quality of education in all government institutions and all-round development of the students would be the main focus of education. She said with the revolutionary advancement in information technology, the world had been shrunken to a small and fully accessible village and opened enormous opportunities for brilliant students. But on the same time it had also created tough competitions in every field. She said in present times, the students possessing professional skills and confidence would only be able to show their presence and make outstanding achievements. She advised the students to keep proper vigil on the developments at the international level and inculcate in themselves the spirit of competitions. Stressing upon the need for special attention on women education, she said to improve the social and educational standard, the education to all girls was of most importance, which would help in the harmonious transformation of society and check the decreasing count of females as compared to males in the society. She said educated girls should shoulder the responsibility of creating awareness among the masses about the equality in male and female child as in present times, the girls were much ahead than the boys in the majority of fields. She said teachers were the real guides for the students and exhorted them to inculcate the moral and patriotic values among students so that they could be able to adopt nationalistic approach, which was eliminating from society. Ms Bhattal called upon the management of educational institutions to extend their full cooperation to the government in bringing about qualitative improvement and professionalism in women education, so that the girls could be properly trained to compete at all levels and could fight against the prevailing crime against women. Appreciating the contribution of Ramgarhia Girls College in spreading women education, Ms Bhattal said the founders of the college had great vision and spirit of service to the society. She lauded the role of privately managed educational institutions in enhancing the standard of the education in the country and said the process of privatisation had been started in all fields in the country with a view to improve the quality of services. She exhorted the management of private institutions to keep substantial seats for brilliant students belonging to poor families and also help them financially in getting higher education, so that they could avail equal opportunities to acquire good education.
