Ludhiana, May 9, 2026: In a vibrant display of democratic spirit, government schools across district have commenced the election process for Bal Sansad (Student Parliament) , following two days of intensive teacher training sessions organized by the district administration.
The training programme was conducted under the visionary leadership of Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain, aimed at equipping school teachers with the knowledge and tools to effectively implement the Bal Sansad initiative at the grassroots level.
Taking inspiration from the training, schools have wasted no time in rolling out the election process with great enthusiasm. Students are actively participating in campaigning, preparing creative party symbols, and presenting their manifestos before their fellow students — mirroring the real-world democratic process in a meaningful way.
As seen at P.M. Shri Government Senior Secondary School, Ayali Khurd (Ludhiana), student candidates have formed parties with distinct symbols such as a pen, school bag, geometry box, and book, and are enthusiastically canvassing within their school premises. Classroom presentations, rallies, and symbol-based campaigning have brought the school environment alive with civic energy.
The Bal Sansad initiative is designed to:
- Nurture leadership qualities among students
- Build problem-solving capacities
- Inculcate civic sense and democratic values
- Empower students to raise and resolve issues related to their school and community
Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain expressed his encouragement for the initiative, emphasizing that Bal Sansad is a powerful platform to groom the next generation of responsible and informed citizens. He stated that the district administration is committed to transforming government schools into centres of holistic development, where students learn not just from textbooks, but from lived democratic experience.
