President’s award for city teacher
Ludhiana, September 2 For Ms Sukhwant, teaching is a vocation as she has been taught by her parents right from the very beginning that service to mankind is what man has been sent to the earth for. She said,”My mother was a Sarpanch and my father a national athlete. Both were committed to helping downtrodden people and so I imbibed these values. For this reason, I keep working in the school till late hours.” She said she started her teaching career in 1971 in a school in Gidderanwali village in Ferozepore as an art and craft teacher. But she improved her qualifications while she was in service. She did her post graduation in Punjabi and was appointed a Punjabi teacher . At present, she is working as Headmistress of Government Middle School, Phukanwala. She said,”I was sent to Phulanwala on deputation and I was lucky that I got a promotion. I started the school in two rooms. With the help of the panchayat and the community, we have built a double storeyed building. Earlier when we started , there was no playground, but now we have playgrounds and the total value of the property stands at Rs 70 lakh.” She runs a ‘guidance cell’ in the school in the after noon for the poor destitute girls. The girls get training in sewing and stitching so that they can be empowered economally. Various NGOs have been roped in to extend help to the school. During her teaching career she won the State Award in 1999 for Best Contribution in Education Department. She also received an award from Mr Harnam Dass Johar, Education Minister for excellence in teaching. Several NGOs have rewarded her for her dedicated teaching work and her enterprise. Since both her sons are abroad, she treats students as her children and is ready to spend time with them in watering the plants of school to helping them prepare for staying plays, and making models for exhibitions.
