On Children’s Day, school‑age children in Jalandhar were handed educational kits as part of a local initiative.
Jalandhar marked Children’s Day on November 14 by handing out study material to school‑age children across the city. The distribution took place at several community centres and schools, where volunteers organized queues to ensure each child received a kit.
Local officials said the move aims to reinforce the importance of education during a day dedicated to children’s welfare. The kits contain textbooks, notebooks and basic stationery, intended to support regular classroom learning.
Organisers highlighted that providing tangible resources can motivate students and alleviate short‑term material shortages in under‑served neighborhoods. The initiative reflects broader efforts by municipal bodies to promote educational access in Punjab’s urban areas.
