Speaking at the occasion, Arora highlighted the dual-purpose approach of the project, which not only supports education but also women empowerment. He said under ‘Pehal’, unprivileged women who were part of self-help groups (SHGs) were assigned the task of stitching school uniforms. This initiative would provide employment opportunities to the women and ensure that children studying in government schools received quality uniforms free of cost, he said.

The MP further added that the initiative would cover a total of 31 government schools in the Ludhiana (West) Assembly constituency and around 7,500 students were expected to benefit from this distribution drive.
