Education and healthcare are the two biggest priorities of our government because these are the strongest pillars of all-round development."

Unfortunately, some people are bringing these sacred professions into disrepute, but our government is committed to restoring people’s confidence in both sectors."

Punjab achieved great achievement in the field of education

Referring to the inauguration of the private multi-specialty hospital, the Chief Minister said, "It is a matter of great pride that such a hospital equipped with modern machines and technology has been built here. Specialist doctors will give standard treatment to people. When our government took over the reins in 2022, Punjab was at 27th position in school education. Today, due to continuous reforms and tireless efforts, Punjab has emerged as the number one state in the country in school education."

Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann said, "There was a time when government schools were considered only for poor children and people used to make fun of them. We established ‘Schools of Eminence’ and transformed the education system. Today Punjab has become the best performing state in the country in school education, surpassing Kerala."

he adds, "In 2022, only 82 students from government schools had passed the NEET exam. This year, 881 students from government schools have passed NEET, which shows a big change in our education system."

This force includes 1,597 specially trained soldiers and 144 modern vehicles."

Cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh for every family

The Chief Minister said, "Punjab has also launched the country’s first universal healthcare scheme ‘Mukhyamantri Sehat Yojana’, which provides cashless treatment up to Rs 10 lakh annually to every family in the state. Punjab is the first state in India to provide such comprehensive health coverage, which significantly reduces the financial burden on the people while ensuring standard treatment."

He said, "This historic initiative reflects our commitment towards healthcare for all. People have received cashless treatment worth more than Rs 650 crore under this scheme and Punjab is writing a new story of success in the health sector."

Liver transplant facility in Mohali also mentioned
