"When we started the PBKS Model School Project, the vision was to give children in our communities a school they are proud to walk into every day. - Mohit Burman"

New Chandigarh, April 30

Punjab Kings marked a landmark moment in its ongoing commitment to community development with the renovation of the Government High School, Ranimajra Village in New Chandigarh on Wednesday. The school is the first to be fully transformed under the PBKS Model School Project.

The inauguration ceremony was held at the school premises and attended by Mohit Burman, Co-Owner of Punjab Kings and LC Gupta, Chief Financial Officer of Punjab Kings, along with Punjab Kings officials, representatives of implementation partner Yuva Unstoppable, teachers and students of the school, and members of the Village Panchayat, said a release.

The transformation spans every corner of the school. Extensive civil repair works were carried out, including complete internal and external painting, tiling, and waterproofing to address leakage issues. A new boys' toilet block was constructed, while existing girls' and teachers' toilets were renovated alongside an inclusive toilet facility for children with special needs. The mid-day meal kitchen, student dining area, and a newly installed kitchen garden rounded out the welfare-focused upgrades.

On the academic side, the school now has a science lab, maths lab, and a listening lab, all fully equipped, as well as smart classrooms with interactive display panels and renovated indoor and outdoor sports facilities, including a badminton court and a dedicated sports centre space.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mohit Burman, Co-Owner of Punjab Kings, said, "When we started the PBKS Model School Project, the vision was to give children in our communities a school they are proud to walk into every day. What has been achieved at Ranimajra is a reflection of that commitment. This is just the beginning and completing our first Model School is a moment of great pride for everyone involved. We are truly grateful to Yuva Unstoppable and the local community for their support in making this a reality."

The PBKS Model School Project reflects Punjab Kings' long-term vision of contributing meaningfully to grassroots development beyond the cricket field. The transformation of the Government High School is a significant step in the franchise's ongoing efforts to support education, youth development, and community upliftment across Punjab.

Good initiative by Punjab Kings. But I hope this is not just a one-time PR exercise. We need sustained support for government schools across Punjab, not just in a few villages near New Chandigarh. The real test will be whether they maintain these facilities and continue to support the students long-term.

Finally, a sports team investing in real grassroots development! No more just big stadiums and celebrity shows. Smart classrooms, science labs, and even a kitchen garden - this is the kind of holistic education our government schools need. Kudos to Yuva Unstoppable too for the execution. 🇮🇳

Great to see corporate responsibility in action! The inclusive toilet for children with special needs is a touch of class. More franchises should follow this model - CSK in Tamil Nadu, RCB in Karnataka, MI in Maharashtra. Imagine the impact if all IPL teams did this in their home states! 🏏📚

I live near Ranimajra and can confirm the school was in bad shape before this. Roof leaking, broken toilets, no proper labs. The transformation is genuinely impressive. Our kids were so excited when they saw the badminton court and smart boards. Thank you Punjab Kings for giving our village school wings! 🙏

While this is commendable, I wish the government would step up and make such facilities the norm rather than leaving it to private teams and NGOs. Every government school in India deserves a science lab and smart classrooms, not just the ones adopted by IPL franchises. Still, good for Punjab Kings!
