Empowering Future Leaders: 3 Students Spend a Day with the DC
The Patiala district has witnessed a remarkable initiative by the Punjab government, aimed at empowering young minds and fostering a sense of responsibility among future leaders. As part of the ‘One Day with DC and SSP Sang’ program, launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, three top-scoring students from government schools in Patiala district recently had the opportunity to spend a day with Deputy Commissioner Dr Preeti Yadav.
The initiative, a first-of-its-kind in the region, aimed to provide these young minds with a unique learning experience, exposing them to the inner workings of the administration and the challenges faced by those in power. The three students, all of whom secured top scores in their Class X results, were handpicked from government schools in Patiala district and were given a chance to shadow the Deputy Commissioner for a day.
The day began with a warm welcome by Dr Preeti Yadav, who expressed her enthusiasm to share her experiences and insights with the young students. The trio, comprising Prerna, Aaradhya, and Bhavneet, were thrilled to be a part of this special initiative and were eager to learn more about the administrative processes.
The first stop of the day was the Deputy Commissioner’s office, where the students were briefed on the various departments and their functions. They were introduced to the officials and learned about the importance of teamwork and collaboration in achieving the district’s goals. The students were also shown the various projects and initiatives being implemented by the district administration, including schemes for education, healthcare, and infrastructure development.
Next, the students visited the office of the Superintendent of Police, where they were briefed on the law and order situation in the district. They were introduced to the police officials and learned about the various measures being taken to ensure the safety and security of citizens. The students were also shown the different units of the police department, including the crime branch, traffic police, and women’s cell.
After a lunch break, the students visited the Patiala district courts, where they were given a tour of the facilities and learned about the judicial system. They were introduced to the judges and learned about the importance of justice and equality in society. The students were also briefed on the various cases being heard in the courts and the procedures followed during trials.
The final stop of the day was the Deputy Commissioner’s residence, where Dr Preeti Yadav hosted a dinner for the students and their parents. The dinner provided an opportunity for the students to share their experiences and learnings from the day with their parents and the Deputy Commissioner. Dr Preeti Yadav also shared her own experiences and insights, emphasizing the importance of hard work, determination, and teamwork in achieving success.
The ‘One Day with DC and SSP Sang’ program has been a resounding success, not only in providing a unique learning experience for the students but also in fostering a sense of responsibility among future leaders. The initiative has inspired the students to take up leadership roles and make a positive impact in their communities. The Punjab government’s efforts to empower young minds and foster a sense of responsibility among future leaders are truly commendable, and we hope to see more such initiatives in the future.
