Empowering the Youth
Describing Punjab’s youth as “planes” ready to soar, Mann said the state government is committed to providing them a “launchpad” to achieve their dreams.

Mann urged the students to remain grounded despite success, emphasizing that hard work is the only key to achievement, and encouraged them to seize the abundant opportunities for progress and prosperity within Punjab.
Tackling the Drug Menace
Mann also addressed the drug problem plaguing Punjab, calling it a grim legacy of previous governments that neglected the state’s welfare.
