In a vibrant display of art and culture, an event to celebrate Teej festival was organised by the employees of Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) today. The event began with a religious song.

In her welcome address, Deputy Secretary Gurmit Kaur emphasised the need for cultural activities in professional spaces. She said, “It is a great opportunity for us to showcase our talent here. I congratulate all, who have contributed in making making the event successful.”

As the auditorium echoed with the sound of claps, a group of students from the School of Eminence, Phase 3B1, sang the popular folklore of Mirza and ‘Tappe’.

One of the highlights of the function was a dance performance by a transgender employee, Simmi, from the DPI, reinforcing the idea of inclusivity and promotion of equality in professional spaces.
