Encouraging the children, she said that education is the only tool that gives the power to come out of every crisis. She appealed to the students not to consider these situations as a weakness, but to learn from it and work harder.
She said – “No matter how many challenges you face in life, if you have a passion for education and progress in your mind, then no difficulty can stand in your way.”
Deputy District Education Officer Elementary Education Amandeep Sharma assured that the Education Department will not allow any kind of hindrance in the education of the children and will provide all possible support if needed.
This initiative of the Education Department brought smiles back to the faces of the children and a new hope was awakened in the minds of the parents.
The people present at the relief camp also appreciated this step of Mrs. Arora. They said that it is a positive and inspiring initiative for the education officer to come to the relief center and encourage the children. This step proves that the administration is not only distributing relief materials but is also providing mental and moral support.
