The field outreach bureau (FOB) of the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in coordination with the district administration organised two competitions on the themes of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav and Covid awareness at Government Senior Secondary Smart School, PAU, Ludhiana, today.

The drawing competition was on Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav in which 10 students from various schools participated. Many amongst them were those who had already won district- level competitions.

A slogan writing competition was organised under the theme of “Covid appropriate behaviour” in which 14 students of the school participated.

Field publicity officer Rajesh Bali, organising officer from the ministry, said the motive of organising these competitions was to inculcate the ethos of freedom struggle amongst the youth and aware them about Covid-appropriate behaviour. District Education Officer Lakhbir Singh, who was the chief guest at the event, said both the themes are inter-connected now. As the country is celebrating 75th year of Independence, its also the time to liberate ourselves from the clutches of the pandemic.
