Free coaching for girls for competitive examinations in Amritsar

The district administration is now going to impart free coaching to girls for competitive examinations for recruitment to government jobs under the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ scheme at the District Employment and Business Bureau, Amritsar.

Cabinet Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO, while launching the initiative, said the Punjab government is making efforts to create equal opportunities for girls. “Whether it is in the field of education or sports, girls have proved their talent. It is a matter of pride for Amritsar that the Deputy Commissioner, two additional commissioners and two assistant commissioners in the district are women and they are managing the command of the district well,” he said.
