Under the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ campaign, Navchetna Bal Bhalai Committee has taken the initiative to give safety, protection and free and better education to the girl child.

Sukhbir Singh Sekhon, president of the committee, and general secretary Surinder Singh Kang said they were committed towards the social awareness scheme and welfare and education of girls. In a committee meeting held on Wednesday, Navchetna announced to give free education to two Class XI students — Loveleen Kaur and Karamjit Kaur — for their further studies.

Sekhon said their organisation, under the ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ scheme, provides an environment for children to grow and live a dignified life. Navchetna was always ready to help and take the responsibility of those who are less likely to complete their education.
