Jalandhar administration to launch new initiative for women’s empowerment

JALANDHAR : 10 JULY 
Taking new initiatives for women’s empowerment, the district administration has decided to launch fresh batches of self-defence and free coaching classes for girls in Jalandhar.

Chairing a review meeting, Deputy Commissioner Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal said that the Jalandhar administration will launch fresh batches for self-defence training and coaching classes for girls, besides other initiatives.

Dr. Aggarwal emphasized the importance of self-defence and confidence in girls today, which led to the district administration initiating this training. The training will cover techniques essential for self-defence, enabling students to stay safe and respond effectively in any situation.

The Deputy Commissioner also asked to start free coaching classes for girls preparing for competitive exams after completing grade 12.

Dr. Himanshu Aggarwal highlighted the district administration’s ongoing efforts for the welfare and development of girls. He said that earlier, a special campaign was launched by the administration for testing haemoglobin levels in girls across 30 villages in the Shahkot block to prevent anaemia, which has yielded positive results.

Reaffirming the Punjab Government’s commitment to providing security, better health, education, and other facilities for the overall development of girls, the Deputy Commissioner assured that no stone to be left unturned in ensuring a bright future for the young girls. He also appreciated the support from the District Social Security, Women and Child Development Department.
