Focus on Social Justice and Equal Opportunity
The post-matric scholarship programme is aimed at ensuring that students from Scheduled Caste communities are not deprived of higher education due to financial constraints. By facilitating timely scholarship disbursement, the Punjab government seeks to promote educational continuity, reduce dropout rates, and empower students to pursue professional and academic excellence.
Officials said the initiative aligns with the government’s broader vision of social justice, where education acts as a tool for long-term empowerment and economic mobility.
Employment Generation Through Mission Rozgar
Under Mission Rozgar, over 900 young individuals will receive appointment letters, marking another step in the Mann government’s effort to tackle unemployment in the state. The initiative focuses on connecting skilled youth with job opportunities across various sectors, strengthening Punjab’s workforce and economic foundation.
The government has consistently highlighted job creation as a key governance priority, particularly for first-time job seekers and educated youth.
Call for Unity and Collective Progress
In his message to the people of Punjab, Chief Minister Mann urged citizens to continue supporting the government’s efforts. Emphasising unity and shared responsibility, he stated that collective participation is essential to rebuilding Punjab’s vibrancy and prosperity.
“Together, with love and cooperation, we will make Punjab ‘Rangla’ once again,” the Chief Minister said, echoing the spirit of inclusive development.
Observers note that initiatives like scholarship support and large-scale recruitment reflect the Mann government’s strategy of combining welfare measures with employment-driven growth to shape a more equitable future for Punjab.
