Under its flagship initiative Punjab Sikhiya Kranti, the Bhagwant Mann Government has launched a statewide School Infrastructure Inaugural Drive from October 27 to November 14, 2026, marking a major milestone in the transformation of government school infrastructure across the state.
The Bhagwant Mann Government has undertaken a large-scale effort to upgrade school infrastructure, reimagining government schools as modern, well-equipped and student-friendly learning spaces. As part of this drive, infrastructure upgrades in nearly 600 government schools, benefiting over 2 lakh students, are being formally inaugurated and celebrated.
On this, CM Bhagwant Mann stated, “We are committed to transforming government schools into institutions that every child and parent can be proud of. Along with improving learning outcomes, we are ensuring that our schools provide the best possible environment for students. These infrastructure upgrades are a step towards that vision.”
Strengthening infrastructure goes hand in hand with improving learning outcomes
The upgradation works include the construction and renovation of additional classrooms, science laboratories, libraries, art and craft rooms and other essential school facilities, aimed at improving both access to and the quality of education. The initiative reflects a shift from basic infrastructure to quality infrastructure that supports learning outcomes. Improved classrooms, functional laboratories and better facilities are enabling schools to create more engaging and effective learning environments.
The inaugural ceremonies have begun across districts with active participation from Cabinet Ministers, MLAs, local representatives, community leaders, School Management Committees (SMCs) and parents, making it a community-driven celebration of educational transformation. By creating safe, inclusive and resource-rich school environments, the government will improve student attendance, participation and the overall learning experience.
Teachers across Punjab also highlighted the impact of the infrastructure improvements
Amarjit Singh Chahal, a government school teacher at GSSS Ranghrial, Mansa, stated, “With improved classrooms, laboratories and learning spaces, we are able to deliver lessons more effectively. Students are more engaged, and we can focus better on teaching and learning.”
Lavjeet Grewal, a teacher at GPS Chananwala, Fazilka, added, “The transformation in infrastructure has made schools more welcoming and functional. It has improved attendance and created a more positive learning environment for children.”
Under Punjab Sikhiya Kranti, the Bhagwant Mann government will continue to focus on upgrading classrooms, laboratories, libraries and other essential school facilities, while creating safe, inclusive and student-friendly learning environments. The initiative also places emphasis on community participation by engaging parents, School Management Committees (SMCs) and local leaders to strengthen ownership of government schools, while ensuring that infrastructure improvements translate into better student attendance, participation and learning outcomes.
Punjab Sikhiya Kranti marks a decisive step towards building a holistic and high-quality education system, with the Bhagwant Mann Government working to transform classrooms and build a Rangla Punjab.
