Sukhwinder Singh, Deputy District Education Officer, said in the fifth week an activity ”Kahani Meri Jubani” an activity will be conducted for students of pre-Primary to Class II and classes III to V. Under this activity a short story will be heard from students. Stories can be taken from student textbooks/slides/library books to prepare for this activity.

Harminder Pal Singh, District Coordinator, PPPP, said the students would be asked to read a story and explain it in their own words. This will not only give them a chance to pronounce the language correctly but will also induce confidence through self-expression of their thoughts. Students as well as their parents will be involved in this activity.
