This will also make them a responsible and good citizen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Sawhney stated that Bal Sansad will be a forum at which students will express their views on various subjects, including their school, family, neighbours, society and can also talk about their rights freely. She also lauded the 45 schools where miyawaki forest will come up and will be looked after by the children under the Wake Up Ludhiana mission. She also discussed plans of launching AI learning shortly in schools in Ludhiana to ensure a future-ready workforce.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-128110 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/timespunjab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bal-Sansad-2-300x226.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/timespunjab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bal-Sansad-2-300x226.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/timespunjab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bal-Sansad-2-1024x770.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/timespunjab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bal-Sansad-2-768x578.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/timespunjab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Bal-Sansad-2.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">In the meeting, Sawhney also emphasized the importance of ensuring every child in the district has access to quality education.
