Office-bearers and activists of various social and educational organisations vowed to launch a coordinated movement for the revival and preservation of state’s cultural heritage and to adopt these values in their lifestyle.

An oath was taken in response to a call made by Malerkotla Deputy Commissioner Amrit Kaur Gill, during the concluding session of a Teej function held at Guru Har Krishan College for Women at Phallewal village near here.

College chairman Labh Singh Ahluwalia and director Gurpreet Singh presided over the inaugural and concluding sessions and Amrit Kaur was the chief guest.

Sukhdev Singh Walia, Gurmat Pal Singh, Dr AA Khan and Bikramjit Kaur gave away prizes to outstanding performers.

Appreciating the role played by teachers in preparing students for participation in cultural events and thus imbibing the traditional spirit in them, the Deputy Commissioner claimed this would make students innovative and dynamic, besides inculcating values in them.

Paranjal was declared Miss Teej and Anupreet Kaur was declared Nightingale. Tammana emerged as Miss freshers while Labbie Kaur and Daljit Kaur secured the next two positions. Gidha, bhangra, choreography, skits and folk songs presented by students were appreciated by all.
