The minister said the Punjab government had planned to provide solar panels instead of generators in government schools of the far-flung areas having no supply of electricity.
Senior Headmistress Mrs Rubina Gull Shabbir thanked the minister for the grant for the school lab. The minister distributed shields among students who secured positions.
