The ministers were speaking at a scholarship distribution ceremony organised at DAVIET by the Shri Ram Navami Utsav Committee, where 1,300 students from across the state were awarded scholarships and study material.
Commending the initiative, Aman Arora lauded the committee led by Punjab Kesari Group Chief Editor Vijay Kumar Chopra for consistently supporting underprivileged students through its annual programme.

Echoing similar sentiments, Ministers Harbhajan Singh ETO, Barinder Goyal, Hardeep Mundian and Mohinder Bhagat urged students to pursue excellence in academics to uplift not only themselves but their families and communities. They described the scholarship programme as a model intervention that empowers deserving students by providing crucial academic support. The ministers encouraged the youth to stay committed to their goals and contribute meaningfully to society, praising the organisers for their sustained dedication to this noble cause.
