The former Minister was speaking in the 27th Annual Day function of Tiny Aspirants Public Higher Secondary School (TAPS), here.

The other dignitaries to grace the occasion were Gopal Singh SDM Akhnoor, Parveen Sharma, Chairman Citizen Cooperative Bank and Mohit Gupta Tehsildar Jourian.
The function started with the lighting of lamp by the chief guest and thereafter participants presented their different views.

“Learning gives creativity, creativity leads to thinking, thinking provides knowledge, and knowledge makes us great”, he added.
He hoped that Tiny Aspirants will play an important role in enhancing and sustaining the quality of education as their endeavour can bring fresh innovation in the system and can go a long way in providing the young generation a platform, expressing their talents, wisdom and vision.
