In a humanitarian endeavour, 69 family members and dependents of deceased former employees of the Punjab Education Department were inducted into the education system under various appointments.
State Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema welcomed the new appointees and offered his support with a personal interaction with several new entrants. The move by the Government was aimed at providing some relief and consolation to those who had lost their near and dear ones during their time as active employees in the Punjab education system.
Cheema personally distributed appointment letters to the dependents of the deceased. Amongst those inducted, 19 have been appointed as clerks, two Art and Craft teachers, one as librarian and 47 as Class IV.
In addition to the appointments offered on compassionate grounds, Cheema went a step ahead by sanctioning on-demand posting allotments as per the personal preferences of the appointees.
