Degrees of Women Written Outside Their Homes In Village Manakwal
DC Himanshu Jain extends campaign across entire district
Ludhiana, March 26
The district administration on Wednesday extended Meri Yogyta Meri Pehchan campaign to entire district under which names and higher qualifications of 11 women were installed outside their homes in Manakwal village.
Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain accompanied by Assistant Commissioner Dr. Pragati Verma and District Programme Officer Gurmeet Singh addressed the gathering and said that for many years, girls and women have faced discrimination. He added that in most of the families, girls have to struggle much harder than their brothers to pursue higher education. Despite these challenges, when they achieve higher degrees, it becomes our duty to give them due respect and recognition.
“Any daughter or sister who wishes to have a name plate outside her house mentioning her name and qualifications can approach the district administration. We will get a beautiful name plate prepared and installed at her residence free of cost. This will motivate her to pursue further studies and inspire other girls in the area,” he said.
The DC added that seeing these name plates will encourage more girls to aim for higher qualifications. He appealed to the residents of Ludhiana to extend full support so that this target can be achieved successfully. “This initiative will help our daughters achieve greater success in life,” he emphasised.
Sarpanch Manpreet Singh Manu expressed gratitude to DC Himanshu Jain and the district administration for honouring the educated daughters of the village by installing name plates outside their homes.
