Punjab’s education minister, Harjot Singh Bains, 1,378 security guards have been hired for all senior secondary government schools. Bains, who was presiding over a programme at a local government school, said these security guards would be responsible for the students safety as well as making sure they didn’t leave the school grounds while they were in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, security guards will be present at all senior secondary schools with a student body of more than 500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minister stated that these security officers will be stationed at the entrance and exit points of the schools and will keep track of visitors in addition to ensuring that no student exits the facility during school hours without the principal’s consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The state government has launched a particular initiative to modernise the educational system by building new schools, the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Harjot Singh Bains made the announcements while he was in the city and said they had been initiated to address the widespread thefts and security issues within civic-run educational institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A total of Rs 66.15 lakh has been set up in the Ludhiana district for the deployment of guards at 189 government schools, including illustrious establishments like the Government Model Senior Secondary Schools in Model Town, Cemetery Road, PAU, and Miller Ganj (Dholewal).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The decision was made in response to an increase in theft instances at government schools, which as of right now have few security measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that the government had allocated Rs 250 crore for the construction of perimeter fences at all government schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similarly, Bains indicated that close to 2,000 campus managers would be hired to oversee the upkeep of the educational facilities. He said that for the first time, money has been given to schools for hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depending on the number of students in a school, the government will distribute between Rs 3,000 and Rs 50,000 per month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
