Ludhiana, May 19, 2026: Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain on Tuesday inaugurated a Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lab at Government Senior Secondary Smart School, describing it as a transformative initiative that will nurture innovation and technical skills among students.
Accompanied by Additional Deputy Commissioner Poonam Singh, Assistant Commissioner Payal Goyal and other officials, Jain said the lab would serve as a hands-on learning space where students can turn ideas into reality through do-it-yourself projects and practical experimentation. He stated that the lab will help students gain exposure to emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Coding, Metaverse and Mechatronics through specialised tools, modern equipment and guided learning.
The Deputy Commissioner lauded five young students — Samaira Gupta, Prisha, Amaya, Nandini, and Pranay for their dedicated efforts in establishing the lab through crowdfunding. He also expressed gratitude to the Aryaman Foundation for supporting the initiative by providing teachers twice a week to conduct special classes, mentor students and strengthen technical learning at the centre.
Encouraging students of the PAU GSSS School to make full use of the facility, Jain said today’s era is driven by Artificial Intelligence and advanced technologies, and those who acquire these skills will play a significant role in the country’s future growth and development. He urged students to actively learn and excel in Robotics, AI, Coding, Metaverse and Mechatronics so they can contribute meaningfully to nation-building in the years ahead.
Later, the Deputy Commissioner also honoured the five student contributors with appreciation certificates in recognition of their selfless service and contribution towards setting up the lab.
Among others present on the occasion were Dimple Verma, Amit Mehta, Bhupesh Kumar and Red Cross Secretary Navneet Joshi.
