Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney went to both schools where she sat with the students and attended classes. She said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains, as education is the primary priority of the Punjab government, the main objective of this project is to raise the standard of education with mutual partnership in private and government schools. She said that under this, as a pilot project, the students of Model Town School and Budha Dal School were put in the same class today to increase mutual knowledge.

She said that according to the feedback of the students, this program will be made for three days so that the myth created among the people about government schools that they are not competitive with private schools, will be broken.
