Eliminating drugs, giving jobs to youths AAP's priorities: Arvind Kejriwal

AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday hailed the Punjab government for 'heralding an era of education revolution in the state thereby bagging top rank in National Achievement Survey (NAS) conducted by Government of India (GoI).' Addressing the gathering in Sangrur during a function to mark Punjab's accomplishment in the NAS, Kejriwal said that it is a matter of immense pride and satisfaction for him to be a part of this historic day in the education sector of Punjab. He said that due to efforts of the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the state has delivered an outstanding performance in the National Achievement Survey 2024 (NAS). Kejriwal said that it 'is a real revolution as the teachers who used to protest climbing water tanks during the previous regimes are today interacting with the Chief Minister to achieve such ranks.' He said that the state government has provided congenial atmosphere and the teachers have duly utilized it to excel in every sphere so that the students can be immensely benefited from it. Kejriwal said that the previous governments had exploited the government teachers due to which studies were adversely affected but things have seen a paradigm shift now. Kejriwal said that NAS is a big achievement but it is not the ultimate goal of his government which intends to ensure the well being of every person. He said that the certificate of the people that the state government has brought education revolution in the state and other fields is the real acknowledgement for him. Kejriwal said that eliminating drugs, imparting quality education to youth and ensuring job/ business for them are the three major thrust areas of the state government. He said that the teachers should take responsibility that the students are weaned away from menace of drugs. Kejriwal said that the properties constructed from the drug money have been razed to dust by the bulldozers. He said that those who had ruined the future of generations are now getting the punishment for their sins and these leaders who had patronized the drug trade are being put behind bars. Extending special thanks to the teachers, principals, and staff of the education department, he said that their hard work, dedication, and commitment have made this achievement possible. Kejriwal said that Punjab's achievement in NAS-2024 will be recorded in the annals of history adding that the most significant aspect is that this survey was conducted by the Government of India—not by Punjab. Kejriwal said that this nationwide survey was conducted by NCERT in collaboration with states and Union Territories in December 2024, involving thousands of students from across India.
