This move ensures that these children receive proper nutrition and foundational education, providing them with a stronger start in life despite challenging circumstances.

Skill Development Through Sewing Centers

To empower women prisoners with essential skills, a sewing center has been inaugurated at Faridkot Jail. This initiative aims to provide vocational training, helping inmates develop self-sufficiency and better prepare for life after incarceration. Skill-building opportunities like these can play a pivotal role in improving the economic prospects of these women and their families.

Health and Employment Awareness Camps Across Punjab

In addition to education and skill development, the government has initiated health and employment awareness camps throughout Punjab. These camps are designed to address critical issues like health care access and job readiness, ensuring that women prisoners and other underprivileged groups have the resources they need to lead healthier, more independent lives.

AAP’s Vision for Social Welfare

Under CM Bhagwant Mann’s leadership, the Punjab government continues to focus on inclusive growth and welfare. Minister Dr. Baljit Kaur’s active involvement in these initiatives further underscores the administration’s dedication to creating a supportive environment for marginalised communities.
