The Punjab Government on Tuesday decided to celebrate 50th anniversary of Punjabi Suba on a massive scale.
Working in this direction, the State Education Department has prepared a calendar of activities to be executed in the month-long celebrations of Punjabi Suba, which will culminate on November 1, 2016.
The thrust of these activities would be on sensitising the students across the State about the important landmarks, achievements in the formation of the Punjabi Suba, besides informing them about the rich historical and cultural heritage of the state.
A high level meeting has been convened on July 11 to entrust work and responsibility upon the various rank and files of the education machinery, said the state Education Minister Daljit Singh Cheema.
Cheema said that Punjabi Suba came into being on November 1, 1966, as a result of untold sacrifices and relentless efforts made by the brave Punjabis.
He said that it is our moral duty to sensitize the younger generations about the struggle and sacrifices made in the making of Punjabi Suba.
