The children coming out of here will not only work for the betterment of their families but also become partners in the country's progress."

The minister has directed officials to expedite the finishing work and dedicate the new school building to the children within two weeks, the statement said.

The school will benefit thousands of children from Seemapuri, Dilshad Garden, Dilshad Colony, and GTB Enclave, it added.
