Education thrives in a safe and secure environment. Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, Punjab is setting new benchmarks in school security and student safety. The government has made unprecedented investments to ensure that every child in Punjab’s government schools can study without fear.
With a massive allocation of ₹82 crore, Punjab is leading the way in school safety, student security, and campus management. From appointing security guards and installing CCTV cameras to training staff and students in emergency response, the Mann Government is leaving no stone unturned to create a safe and nurturing learning environment.
Strengthening Security: Key Initiatives
1,378 Security Guards Deployed In October 2023, the Punjab Government appointed 1,378 security guards across all senior secondary government schools. These guards play a critical role in student safety, visitor management, and campus security. Punjab is the first state in India to implement such a comprehensive security system in government schools.
Emergency Preparedness Training for Staff and Students
Security isn’t just about surveillance—it’s also about preparedness. Recognizing this, the government has allocated ₹4 crore for special emergency response training. Experts have been brought in to train school staff and students in handling emergencies, including natural disasters.
24/7 Surveillance with CCTV Cameras To enhance monitoring and campus safety, the government has installed CCTV cameras in government schools across Punjab. This ensures round-the-clock surveillance, reduces incidents of misconduct, and enhances overall safety. Campus Managers for Better School Maintenance In addition to security measures, the government has appointed Campus Managers to oversee school infrastructure maintenance. Their role is to ensure that school buildings, classrooms, and facilities are well-maintained, creating a safe and conducive learning environment. Why This Initiative Matters Safety First: A secure school environment allows students to focus on learning without fear. Empowering Schools: With dedicated security personnel and emergency training, schools are better prepared to handle crises. Leading by Example: Punjab is the first state to take such bold and proactive measures for government school security. A Safe Punjab, A Stronger Future With these groundbreaking initiatives, the Mann Government is turning promises into action. By prioritizing security, the government is empowering students, reassuring parents, and setting a new standard for school safety in India. Because when schools are safe, futures are secure. Punjab’s Schools Are Safer, Stronger, and Smarter Under the Mann Government!
