Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar and Haryana Speaker Gian Chand Gupta today inaugurated two schools — Government Senior Secondary School in Sector 26 and an English-medium primary school in Sector 31.

According to officials, the Sector 26 school was built on 4.98 acre for Rs7.86 crore. The Sector 31 school was constructed on 1.10 acre for Rs1.9 crore.

Gujjar said the government pledged to make Panchkula an education hub in the state.

He said the state would have 1,405 English-medium primary schools of which 418 had already been inaugurated and 987 would be opened soon.

“The Khattar government is constantly working to ensure quality education in government schools. As many as 98 model Sanskriti schools will come up in each block for the underprivileged children,” he added.

Haryana Speaker Gupta said: “Our government has brought many development projects to trans-Ghaggar sectors unlike previous governments which neglected these. The National Institute of Fashion Design is a testament to what we say. The building of the institute was being constructed for Rs150 crore.” Similarly, a polytechnic-cum-multiskill centre was also coming up for Rs20 crore, he said.
