Punjab government decided to develop Sri Goindwal Sahib as an educational hub to impart quality education to students in all fields.
A decision to this effect has been taken by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal while presiding over a series of meeting with officials of Technical Education department and Punjab Technical University Jalandhar.
Taking part in the deliberations, the Chief Minister directed the Vice Chancellors of PTU, Guru Nanak Dev University and Baba Farid University of Medical and Health Sciences to soon visit Sri Goindwal Sahib along with the representatives of Technical Education, PSIEC and school education to explore the possibilities to provide the best education to the students and ensure a congenial academic atmosphere. The Chief Minister approved a proposal for setting up of two PTU centers at Bathinda and Sri Goindwal Sahib.
The Bathinda center of PTU would be the second campus dedicated to higher education with PG and research facilities. Expressing concern over the increasing trend among the students to opt for technical education institutes outside Punjab, Badal asked all universities to give special attention for starting teachers training courses. It would not only open new avenues for employment but also improve .the education standard in the state, he added.
