Chandigarh, Dec 6
The Punjab Government will organize a three-day educational program across all schools in the state from December 22 to 24, to honour the unparalleled bravery and supreme sacrifice of the four Sahibzadas — Baba Ajit Singh Ji, Baba Jujhar Singh Ji, Baba Zorawar Singh Ji, and Baba Fateh Singh Ji.
Announcing this, Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said the initiative, to be observed in all government, private, and aided schools, aims to imbue young minds with the valorous and rich legacy of Sikh history. During the three days, schools will hold 15-minute morning assembly sessions dedicated to the lives and martyrdom of the Sahibzadas.To ensure historical accuracy and authenticity, Bains directed the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) to meticulously prepare educational material, which will be duly vetted by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC).
The Minister said the sessions will help students revisit a golden chapter of Sikh history — from Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s departure from Qila Anandgarh Sahib to the events leading up to the Saka Sirhind, highlighting the spirit of courage and sacrifice woven into Punjab’s cultural and spiritual heritage.
In addition, the PSEB headquarters will hold daily spiritual and historical discourses, along with Kirtan Darbar evenings from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, to be performed by school students during the three days. These events, Bains said, are intended to build a deep emotional connection between students and Punjab’s heroic past while paying homage to the Sikh martyrs.Emphasizing the moral essence of the initiative, Bains remarked, “True education goes beyond textbooks to build character and connect our future generations to the roots of unparalleled sacrifice that define our land. The three-day educational program on the Sahibzadas is a step to honour supreme sacrifice and instill the timeless values of courage, righteousness and resilience in every student of Punjab.
