Administrative Secretary for Higher Education, Ms. Anindita Mitra, also extended her congratulations and wished the faculty success in their new responsibilities. She directed them to submit their joining reports to the Director of Higher Education, Punjab, within 10 days, warning that failure to comply would result in the cancellation of their promotion and a two-year debarment from future promotions. Mitra further noted that the promoted Principals will undergo a one-year probation period, during which their performance will be closely monitored.
