Mohali (Punjab), December 22, 2025:Emphasising the need for collective responsibility in social welfare, Mohali MLA Kulwant Singh on Monday said that meaningful development is possible only when the government, the public, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) work together.
He was addressing the media after attending a programme organised by Lions Club Panchkula Premier at Government Senior Secondary School, Govindgarh, where the club distributed jerseys and shoes to around 400 students to help them cope with the winter season.
Praising the initiative, Kulwant Singh said the Lions Club Panchkula Premier has a long-standing tradition of active involvement in social service.
“Providing winter clothing to nearly 400 students is a commendable effort. Such initiatives motivate other social organisations to step forward and extend support to students, especially during harsh winter conditions,” he said.
The MLA underlined that the government alone cannot address all challenges unless citizens and social organisations recognise their responsibilities.
“When the government, the public, and NGOs work together, no task remains impossible,” he remarked, urging people to collectively contribute towards improving the social environment and helping those in need.
Kulwant Singh further said that true social welfare is achieved when members of social organisations and citizens voluntarily take responsibility and become role models for society. He also informed that the Lions Club Panchkula Premier would continue its social service activities in several other nearby schools in the coming days.
Highlighting the initiatives of the Aam Aadmi Party government, the MLA said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, the education system in Punjab has seen significant improvements. “Government schools are being upgraded with better infrastructure, and teachers and staff are being recruited on a large scale,” he added.
He concluded by expressing gratitude to the entire team of the Lions Club Panchkula Premier for their contribution towards student welfare.
The event was attended by Dr Satinder Singh Bhanwra, Kuldeep Singh Samana, Jaspal Singh Mataur, Rajinder Prasad Sharma (former councillor), Jagjit Singh Govindgarh, Gurpreet Singh Baliali, Akwinder Singh Gosal, Karmapuri (Sarpanch, Govindgarh), Harpal Singh Brar, Gurpreet Singh Kurda, Gurpal Singh Grewal, Ravi Mehra, Ashish Agarwal, Manjit Kaur, Nisha Sachdeva, Ekashpal Singh, Parvinder Singh, Dinesh Sachdeva, and Gaurav Khanna.
