Punjab School Education Board on Monday launched an online Punjabi learning website for teaching the language and promoting it across the world.

After inaugurating the website (http://www.elearnpunjabi.com/), state Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema said this online website has been developed in collaboration with Punjab University.

He said in the modern era of globalisation we must take full advantage of new technologies to promote our mother tongue across the world.

Cheema said that now even anyone can learn Punjabi sitting in any part of the country or abroad.

He said it will also be very useful for NRI Punjabis who can now teach the mother tongue to their children without travelling anywhere.

The Minister said this initiative was taken by the Education Department under a number of projects launched to promote Punjabi language dedicated to 50 years celebrations of Punjabi Suba.

He said advanced technology has been used for Punjabi online learning in which audio-video assistance has been provided on website.

Cheema said that website will be regularly updated and online examination facility will soon be provided so that appearing candidates can evaluate their performance. — PTI
