Jhajjar, July 14
State Education, Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Geeta Bhukkal today hailed the initiative of the khap panchayats, especially the women of Bibipur village in Jind, to raise voice against the menace of female foeticide.
While interacting with media persons, Bhukkal said people belonging to all sections of society should come forward to launch a drive against the social evil which has made a dent in the gender ratio.
“Such initiatives would not only generate mass awareness about social evils like female foeticide but will also help in launching mass movements,” said the minister. In reply to a question, she said the Teachers Selection Board would soon recruit junior basic training (JBT) teachers and masters and the recruitment process for the post of post graduate teachers (PGT) was in progress.
“The state government wants to develop Haryana as an educational hub and hence prominent educational institutions like Rajiv Gandhi Education City, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS-II), Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) have been set up in the state in this direction,” Bhukkal said.
“Priority of the government is to provide quality education and employment. Educational institutions like Teacher Training Institute and Police College are being set up in Jhajjar. By implementing Right to Education Act, the Haryana government has given right to education to each child in the state,” she said.
