. Punjab Government, led by chief minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, on Saturday organised simultaneous Mega Parent-Teacher Meetings (PTMs) in more than 19,000 government schools across the state to celebrate Punjab securing the top spot in the NITI Aayog’s School Education Quality Report 2026.Sharing details of the event, titled ‘Sikhiya Da Maha Jashan’, Punjab education minister S Harjot Singh Bains said Punjab achieved the No. 1 ranking in the national report, surpassing Kerala on key foundational learning metrics.Describing the achievement as a milestone of the ‘Punjab Sikhya Kranti’, S Harjot Singh Bains said, “This No. 1 rank is not the government’s alone. It belongs to every parent who chose to believe, every student who worked hard, and every teacher who went beyond the textbook. We turned government schools from a last option into the first choice. For decades, people were told that quality education was not possible in government schools. Today, Punjab has proven them wrong. This rank is a revolution built in our classrooms.”Highlighting the role of parents in sustaining this success, the education minister said that more than 20 lakh parents attended the Mega PTM and Parents’ Workshop. The programme focused on summer learning continuity, holiday homework management and building positive routines to support children’s learning during the summer break.As part of the celebrations, teachers and non-teaching staff were felicitated for their dedicated efforts, while outstanding students, including board examination toppers, achievers of the English Edge Programme and JEE qualifiers, were honoured with special recognition and certificates.To ensure smooth and effective implementation of the event, all teachers and school heads were trained through a live YouTube session. Trained facilitators and active school management committees also supported parent mobilisation, coordination and on-ground execution of activities across the state.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosMamata Banerjee To Lead June 2 Kolkata Sit-In Over Alleged Attacks On Abhishek Banerjee, TMC LeadersVP Radhakrishnan Warns Indian Youth May Follow ‘Cockroach’ If Positive News Is Ignored‘INDIA Stands United’: Abhishek Banerjee Thanks Rahul Gandhi For Support After Sonarpur AttackKunal Ghosh Targets TMC Leaders Over Silence On Abhishek Banerjee Attack, Sparks Internal DebateNepal PM Invokes Britain In India Border Row, Says ‘We Have Also Encroached On Indian Areas’Rahul Gandhi Meets CBSE Student Vedant, Mocks ‘Anti-National’ And ‘Deep State Agent’ AllegationsKalyan Banerjee Alleges Assault Near Chanditala Police Station, TMC-BJP Face Off Intensifies In WBLeaked Audio Allegedly Shows Mamata Berating Hospital CEO After Attack On Abhishek BanerjeeHeavy Security Deployed As Authorities Begin Road-Widening Demolition In Shalimar BaghDK Shivakumar Takes Over As Karnataka CM, Congress Signals Continued Key Role For Siddaramaiah123PhotostoriesWhy does postpartum hair fall happen?Causes, treatment, and effective ways to manage it7 powerful reverse psychology tricks that usually work6 types of litchi available in India and how to pick the sweetest one at the market22-year-old influencer dies after dealing with depression and anxiety: 7 things women should do before reaching a breaking pointKriti Sanon is serving flirty luxe with emerald envy in this Rs 67,000 designer mini dress for ‘Cocktail 2′ promotionsArchana Puran Singh’s son Aaryamann gives a glimpse of his new approximately Rs 50 crore house in Madh Island; he shares an important update7 factors making India’s coastal towns real estate investment hotspots5 surprising ways yoga changes your mind and soul (not just your body)Success quote of the day by Virat Kohli: “Whatever you want to do, do it with…”Heatwave hacks: A complete survival plan for India’s scorching summer123Hot PicksRCB vs GT IPL Final LiveVinesh PhogatMonsoon ForecastHenry Nowak murderFrancisco CerundoloDonald TrumpGold price predictionTop TrendingDK ShivakumarSpursUP CNET Admit CardVinesh PhogatNorway ChessSupreme CourtMumbai Air India ColonyBSEB Bihar Sakashmta Pariksha Admit CardNTANEET Paper Leak
