The
"Wake up Calls" to students and parents for motivating them for
preparing well for the Board Examinations, is an innovative good practice
started by dedicated teachers as part of their concerted and consistent efforts
to accomplish "MIssion Shat pratishat".
This good practice has been discussed in the Motivational Meetings being convened for giving a boost to ‘Mission Shat Pratishat" by the education department time and again.
The State Education Department has just been playing a role of “catalyst “ and motivating the officials, teachers and community for emulating good practices shared in the motivational meetings. The Department has not issued any official orders. The Mentors are just playing a role of “facilitators”; asking them to share these good practices in Social Media groups to motivate others.
Mission Shat Pratishat was kick-started by Chief Minister Capt Amrinder Singh; that’s why it has assumed much significance, says District Education Officer (SE), Jagjit Singh.
“The Mission is Not just the wishful thinking but a well thought-up strategy planned by the department to raise the academic standards of the govt schools as well as make the govt schools as centres of academic excellence”, DEO further said.

Kavita Sabharwal, state awardee, English Mistress, Government Senior Secondary School for boys, Rahon said that the teachers had voluntarily been taking extra classes both physical and virtual as per the requirements to achieve mission shat pratishat.
Meanwhile, the Education Department has mobilised the school heads to prepare a data base on the basis of the performance of the students in the house examinations so that a micro planning for the weak, average and meritorious students could be prepared.
