In order to hone their skills and learn about innovative practices, six principals of different government senior secondary schools in Kangra district have been selected for a six-day exposure visit-cum-training programme in Singapore. The workshop — organised by Principal Academy, Singapore — is set to be held from April 4 to April 9. The exposure visit is being sponsored by the state Education Department.

As per official information, Government Girls Senior Secondary School (Indora) principal Mohan Sharma; GSSS (Shahpur) principal Anil Jaryal; GSSS (Nagrota Surian) principal Harbajan Singh; GSSS (Baldoa) principal Sushil Dhiman; GSSS (Srimlog) principal Madan Lal and GSSS (Landoun) principal Sanjeev Kumar were selected by the state Education Department based on a set criteria.
