A new computer program in the name of Lord Mahavira was inaugurated in GPS Moti Nagar, Sector 39, Chandigarh road on Thursday.
With the help of SS Jain Sabha, a new program about computers named Bhagwan Mahavir computer program was started, under which a permanent computer teacher was appointed for students.
“The Sabha will bear all the expenses of running the program including teacher’s salary,” Sekhon said.
Headmaster Sukhdhir Singh Sekhon said a few philanthropists set up two computer labs in the school where students would be able to utilise the facilities provided by the department in a better way.
Mangat-2 block primary education officer Asha Rani, meanwhile, said the GPS, Moti Nagar, would be the first school in the state where a private computer teacher would teach students free of cost.
