National Convener of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday congratulated the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann for heralding an era of education revolution in the state thereby bagging top rank in National Achievement Survey (NAS) conducted by Government of India (GoI).
Addressing the gathering during a function to mark Punjab’s accomplishment in the National Achievements Survey, Arvind Kejriwal said that it is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction for him to be a part of this historic day in the education sector of Punjab. He said that due to efforts of the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the state has delivered an outstanding performance in the National Achievement Survey 2024 (NAS). Arvind Kejriwal said that it is a matter of immense pride for Punjabis that this state has secured a leading position across the country.
Arvind Kejriwal said that it is a real revolution as the teachers who were on the top of Overhead Reservoirs during the previous regimes are today interacting with the Chief Minister to achieve such ranks. He said that the state government has provided congenial atmosphere and the teachers have duly utilized it to excel in every sphere so that the students can be immensely benefited from it. Arvind Kejriwal said that the previous governments had exploited the government teachers due to which studies were adversely affected but things have seen a paradigm shift now.
Arvind Kejriwal said that NAS is a big achievement but it is not the ultimate goal of his government which intends to ensure the well being of every person. He said that the certificate of the people that the state government has brought education revolution in the state and other fields is the real acknowledgement for him. Likewise, Arvind Kejriwal said that eliminating drugs, imparting quality education to youth and ensuring job/ business for them are the three major thrust areas of the state government.
Arvind Kejriwal said that the state government has already transformed Yudh Nasehayn Virudh into a mass movement. He said that the teachers should take responsibility that the students are weaned away from menace of drugs adding that the state government is doing commendable work to wipe out the scourge of drugs and this war against drugs finds no parallel across the country. Arvind Kejriwal said that people are today praising the Chief Minister because exemplary work is being done by the state government.
Arvind Kejriwal said that the properties constructed from the drug money have been razed to dust by the bulldozers. He said that those who had ruined the future of generations are now getting the punishment for their sins and these leaders who had patronized the drug trade are being put behind bars. Arvind Kejriwal said that the state government is committed for this task to give succor to the common man and every effort will be made for this.
Arvind Kejriwal said that under the leadership of Bhagwant Singh Mann we are moving ahead toward fulfilling the guarantees we made to the people of Punjab adding that We didn’t just build schools—we built futures. Extending special thanks to the teachers, principals, and staff of the education department, he said that their hard work, dedication, and commitment have made this achievement possible. Arvind Kejriwal said that Punjab’s achievement in NAS-2024 will be recorded in the annals of history adding that the most significant aspect is that this survey was conducted by the Government of India—not by Punjab.
Arvind Kejriwal said that this nationwide survey was conducted by NCERT in collaboration with states and Union Territories in December 2024, involving thousands of students from across India adding that the state government has made significant efforts to strengthen the infrastructure of government schools, recruit more teachers, and provide maximum support to educational institutions. He said that this year, 845 students from government schools qualified for NEET and 265 students from government schools cleared the JEE Mains exam. Arvind Kejriwal said that to provide world-class education, teachers and principals of Punjab are being trained in Finland, Ahmedabad, and other reputed institutions.
Arvind Kejriwal further said that the state government is establishing Schools of Eminence to ensure high-quality education for our children. He said that the state government led by the Chief Minister will continue its effort to ensure that the students get quality education in the government schools. Arvind Kejriwal said that the business blasters scheme is moving ahead towards achieving resounding success and the day is not far when the students of the government schools will be immensely benefited from it.
