Dr Gagandeep Singh, will finally be able to make it to the International Settlment Designing Competition in Houston courtesy a grant of Rs 3.5 lakh by the Punjab Chief Minister Mr. Parkash Singh Badal. Badal ordered to sanction of grant today.
Disclosing this here today a spokesman of the Punjab Government said that the case of Dr.Gagandeep Singh, son of a clerk who was selected as Advisor to the 12-member team representing Asia in the competition did not have enough funds to pursue this venture. His case was recommended by the Principal Govt. Medical College through Director Medical Education & Research to the Chief Minister for the sanction of requisite financial assistance. The applicant prayed before the Chief Minister yesterday at the Sangat Darshan and he immediately acceded to his request and asked the authorities to sanction the requisite amount forthwith.
While interacting with Dr.Gagandeep Singh, the Chief Minister said that it was really a matter of great honour for the state that he has been selected for this prestigious competition. Moreover, it was his endeavour to ensure that the brilliant and deserving students do not suffer in their professional career just for the want of financial resources.
Meanwhile, Food & Supplies and IT Minister Adesh Partap Singh Kairon who was also present in the Sangat Darshan appreciated Dr.Gagandeep Singh’s feat for bringing laurels to the state.
