Chandigarh, 27/2: The Punjab government on Wednesday said it has made Punjabi a mandatory subject in all schools across the state, regardless of their educational board affiliation, and asserted that education certificates will be considered null and void without Punjabi as a main subject.
The move came after the AAP government accused the BJP-led Centre and the CBSE of dropping Punjabi from the list of subjects for Class 10 in the new draft norms for biannual board exam format and dubbed it as a “well-planned conspiracy” against Punjab.
