Shahpur to get 2 free NEET coaching centres: Pathania

Deputy Chief Whip in the state Assembly and MLA Kewal Singh Pathania said two coaching centres would be opened in the Shahpur Assembly constituency to prepare students for the NEET exam.

The initiative is being launched in a bid to provide better guidance for the competitive examination to students free of cost, he added.

Pathania, as the chief guest at the annual prize distribution ceremony of Government Excellent Senior Secondary School, Shahpur, on Tuesday, said progress was abundant in all areas where the light of education reached.

The state government had started various programmes for providing quality education to children in schools, he added. The government was planning to send teachers and children abroad for exposure, he said.

Pathania added that an amount of Rs 56 crore would be spent on the sewerage scheme for seven wards of the Shahpur nagar panchayat, in which works worth Rs 14 crore were in progress.

The construction work of a modern police station building was underway at a cost of Rs 1.50 crore and would be completed soon, he said.

Shahpur SDM Kartar Chand also addressed the gathering on this occasion.

He said parents should provide proper guidance not just to their children but to all the children of the village.

Principal Anil Jaryal welcomed the chief guest and other guests, and thanked Pathania for attending the programme. He also read out the annual report of the school.

At the event, the children delivered a moving message by presenting a short play based on the Chief Minister Sukh Aashray Yojana.
