Jalandhar, June 11 :

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday announced an intensified crackdown on drugs through the promotion of sports, under the ongoing Yudh Nasheyan De Virudh (War Against Drugs) campaign.

Addressing the gathering after laying the foundation stone for the Burlton Park Sports Hub—an ambitious project to be developed at a cost of approximately ₹78 crore—Chief Guest Arvind Kejriwal called it a historic day. He stated that this initiative will provide thousands of people with opportunities to engage in sports and maintain a healthy lifestyle. He also mentioned that this would be the first-of-its-kind sports complex in the country and would be completed within a year.

Arvind Kejriwal emphasized that Punjab was once a leader in multiple fields, including sports, but regressive policies by traditional political parties caused its decline. He blamed these parties for enabling the drug menace, asserting that Yudh Nasheyan De Virudh has now broken the backbone of the drug network. He highlighted the government’s bold actions, such as confiscating and demolishing the properties of drug smugglers through Operation Bulldoze.

Arvind Kejriwal said the upgrade of Burlton Park is a strategic move under the anti-drug campaign, and that ultra-modern stadiums will soon be established in every village to steer the youth away from drugs. He reiterated that the initiative aims to position Punjab as a frontrunner state in the country. Arvind Kejriwal also noted the state’s industry-friendly stance, which has attracted significant investment.

Arvind Kejriwal mentioned the establishment of new focal points across Punjab and the launch of the FastTrack Punjab Portal to ensure investors receive all necessary approvals within 45 days of application. He said Punjab, known for its courage, enterprise, and resilience, is now poised to lead India’s industrial resurgence. Over the past three years, the state government has launched several initiatives benefiting all sections of society, and this momentum will continue in the future, he added.

In his address, Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann highlighted Jalandhar’s legacy of producing exceptional athletes who have brought international acclaim to the country, particularly in hockey. He pointed out that many players of India’s national hockey squad hail from the district, with three generations of athletes having emerged from its grounds. However, the Chief Minister said that political mismanagement over the years caused Punjab to fall behind in sports.

Bhagwant Singh Mann stressed that the state’s lost glory in athletics would be restored through committed and strategic efforts. Reviving sports is a central pillar of Yudh Nasheyan De Virudh, he said that it aims to channel the youth’s energy into positive avenues. The Chief Minister also announced that historic Burlton Park would be renamed after a legendary Punjabi athlete, shedding its colonial legacy.

The Chief Minister added that international cricket stadiums would soon be developed in Jalandhar and Amritsar, following the one in Mullanpur. Bhagwant Singh Mann proudly noted that the captains of India’s men’s and women’s cricket teams, as well as the football team skipper, hail from Punjab. He asserted that Punjab would soon become the number one state in sports, and the government would leave no stone unturned in upgrading infrastructure and promoting athletic excellence.

The Chief Minister concluded by reaffirming the government’s commitment to the holistic development of Punjab and its people. He said that pristine glory of the state will be restored by all means and no stone will be left unturned for it. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that the day is not far away when Punjab will lead the country in every sphere.

They emphasized that the government has efficiently delivered on all the major demands of the industry.

Both leaders highlighted that Punjab currently boasts one of the best law and order situations in the country, which is further attracting significant industrial investment. They said that the state has already secured investments worth over ₹1.05 lakh crore, with the potential to generate employment for around 5 lakh youth. They said that Leading companies such as Tata Steel and Sanatan Textiles are making a beeline to invest in Punjab, taking full advantage of the state’s business-friendly environment, robust infrastructure, reliable power supply, skilled workforce, and strong industrial work ethic.

Nainital:

Prof. H.S. Dhami, Former Vice Chancellor of Kumaun University, Nainital, Uttarakhand, underscored the urgent need to integrate experiential learning into higher education curricula. The program was organized by the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre (MMTTC) at Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, through hybrid mode under the aegis of the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme of UGC and Ministry of Education, Govt. of India.

Addressing a distinguished virtual gathering of newly inducted faculty from across the country, Prof. Dhami emphasized that “experiential learning is not just a pedagogical trend but a foundational necessity for India’s higher education system to remain relevant and responsive in today’s rapidly evolving knowledge economy.” He further noted that while traditional classroom-based teaching remains important, it must be complemented with hands-on, problem-based, and project-oriented approaches that foster critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and real-world application. Citing examples from leading global education models, Prof. Dhami urged institutions to redesign curricula that align with NEP 2020’s vision of holistic and multidisciplinary education.

Chairing the valedictory session, Prof. H.C. Nainwal, Dean, School of Earth Sciences, HNB Garhwal University, made a profound statement on the irreplaceable role of teachers in the modern educational landscape. “Artificial Intelligence can replicate information, but it lacks the empathy, intuition, and human connection that a teacher brings into the classroom. Teachers possess emotional intelligence—something no algorithm can simulate,” remarked Prof. Nainwal, underlining the unique and irreplaceable value of human educators.

He elaborated that in an age where technology is rapidly transforming pedagogy, it is emotional intelligence—the ability to understand, motivate, and connect with students on a human level—that remains the core of effective teaching. He cautioned against an over-reliance on AI-driven platforms and stressed the importance of human mentorship in shaping character, values, and emotional resilience among learners.

In this month-long Guru Dakshta Program (May 13 to June 11, 2025), attended by 60 faculty participants from 19 different states of the country, the eminent educationists from various institutions and disciplines deliberated on various topics focused on equipping new faculty with values, tools, and innovative practices essential for today’s classrooms and shared their experiences.

Chandigarh, June 9 – The Lokayukta in Haryana will now adopt Video Conferencing (VC) facilities for its proceedings.

Chandigarh, June 9 – Less than two months after the launch of air service from Maharaja Agrasen Airport, Hisar to Ayodhya, the air service to Chandigarh has also begun now. The air service was formally inaugurated by Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini today.

On this occasion, the Chief Minister said in the coming days, air services will be expanded in a phased manner and will be started from Hisar to Jaipur, Jammu and Ahmedabad.

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said it is a proud day for Haryana because this airport is Haryana’s first airport, which was dedicated to the people of Haryana by Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi. The Prime Minister’s dream is that even the common citizens of the country should be able to use air service and in the last 11 years, this dream has been brought to reality in many ways. The Prime Minister had flagged off the air service from Hisar to Ayodhya on the occasion of Baba Saheb Dr. BR Ambedkar Jayanti. Today, the second air service has started from here, which will connect Shaheed Bhagat Singh Airport, Chandigarh with Hisar.

He said due to this airport, Hisar will also become a hub of industry in the coming time and various types of facilities will be available due to which this area will develop at a fast pace.

The Chief Minister took a dig at the opposition and said the opposition leaders used to say that Maharaja Agrasen Airport was an aerodrome, it was not known whether flights will start from here or not. But the government started air services from Hisar Airport as per its promise and these services will be continuously expanded from here.

India has risen under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said 11 glorious years of the Central Government have been completed under the leadership of the Prime Minister and every Indian has seen the speed at which the country has progressed in these 11 years. He said India has taken an upward flight in these 11 years. India’s respect has increased in the world and it has become strong and powerful. In these 11 years, more than 150 airports, about 2500 universities and institutions like IIT and IIM have been built in the country. This is Modi’s India – a strong and powerful India. He said the Prime Minister has resolved that India should become a developed nation by the year 2047 and at the same pace, our government is also moving Haryana forward to make it ‘Viksit Haryana’.

Jobs being given without ‘kharchi-parchi’

The Chief Minister said there has been a change in the system under the leadership of the Prime Minister and poor children are getting government jobs on the basis of their hard work.

This difference has been seen only under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi.

He said in the last 11 years, work has been done to open a college every 20 kilometers in Haryana, so that girls do not have to go far for higher education. Not only this, 15 medical colleges have been completed in the state and work is underway on the remaining. There were 700 MBBS seats in 2014 but today, the number of MBBS seats has increased to around 2500 and will reach 3500 by the year 2029.
